...it will be interesting to check the Apache logs and see if all those page hits were coming from one IP address... and showing only one page... kinda defeats the fun for everyone to wait up till stupid-o-clock just hitting F5 to win :roll:

Still, congrats... you own a nissan now, you'll need all the recovery gear you can get... :lol:

Well done hulux-happy. Not sure about the 8495 page views in a 1hr 45min period in the early morning... someone must have been desperate for some recovery gear :wink:

yes finger sore, but there was someone doing the same thing and i thought it would go about 3-4 am so i helped them out a little and when it got to 1500 to go, well lets just say. i read the rules, i did the hard yards and now all you toyota owners out there can rest asured that help is as hand if you get stuck. give me a txt :lol: :lol: :lol: .

but seirously did i do anything wrong as i dont wana cheat but it was a leagal move and i went it like a true nissan owner. "with gusto" :D

please let me know steve or mike as i dont want to upset anyone. :oops:

the recovery gear will be handy as my nissan is lower and heveyer than the surf and i think it wants to tunnel under the mud holes, not thur them sometimes. and when i get a tow out i can make eveyone a coffie. :D

I still need your ip you used when logged on at that time.

According to the logs 5 requests per second were hitting the site. Not an easy feat especially manually from one computer. If it looks like a program was used to speed the competition up then I may have to void the result and just do an out of the hat draw.

please send your ip hilux-happy.

You may have won the prize. But how long before you get it? Nibby (or Goose) have been waiting for the coffee maker and now its been made a prize again. :wink: Did you say these prizes are for keeps :?: or do you just loan it until the next competition :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What you're really saying is that you want Nibby to be your transexual love slave and coffee maker (I'm pretty sure Goose will share) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank you for the verification of your IP address hilux-happy and congratulations on winning the prize :D

The prize went early this morning. Hilux-Happy managed to click around 6500 clicks in one hour, which just shows his ability to eliminate the competition through cunning tactics :twisted: watchout those entering the sheffield mud plug :D

I will organise the prize to be delivered to the same address used on your sticker order :wink:

Cheers
