Crikey, what a night...!
The Volvo was decked out like a tropical rainforest whilst the rain fell in sheets, thankfully it stopped for the giveaway, but the inflatable crocodile didn’t make it through all two and a half hours of Geoff broadcast. What a lightweight…
First it was a giveaway for an SLK, then the Bertone joined the mix. A Volvo 960 muscled it’s way in and immediately took poll position, before I slotted a Ford Escort during extra time.
I’d promised to do a bonus draw for the Volvo if the SLK or Bertone was chosen, and 200 people were prepared for the inevitable… The SLK going to the winner.
After the usual amount of false starts, we did the draw half an hour later than expected, and Tedrick was the main man.
The internet troubles early on meant that Geoff was accused of not paying the phone bill, but it wasn’t until the phone call to the winner that we discovered live on air that Geoff hadn’t paid the phone bill. Or bought any phone credit.
When we did manage to speak to the winner, we discovered live on air that the BATPHONE doesn’t work all that well as a phone.
Tedrick chose the big Volvo 960, which no one saw coming!
Instead of cutting the night short and calling it a day, we had a quick discussion before deciding that the only course of action would be to buy a car LIVE ON THE FEED from a member who was advertising it in the comments, then give that away in the 2nd Geoff Special of the night. So that’s what happened.
I agreed to buy the car from Jordy whilst running the live feed, then announced it, shared the car details and let everyone go off to buy the products. 40 minutes later it was all over and Jordy’s Volvo 940 Estate had a new owner!
A great night, a wild ride and a chaotic extravaganza shared with all the Geoffistas from around the country (and around the world). There was even a bible sermon (watch it here and flick to 2min30). If for some strange reason you want to watch the whole thing back, you can! Just click here.
See you for the next one!
