Wheeler Dealers - the contest

          Quite recently Piotrek has sent me a link to a site containing a piece of information about the contest organized by Discovery Channel with Cyfrowy Polsat and Auto Świat weekly. This time Mike Brewer and Edd China, the characters from the series called Wheeler Dealers, are heading for Poland on a mission to restore another vehicle. The repair itself is the main prize in the competition and the budget is 5 TPLN (ca. 1,2 TEUR) . The contest consists of several stages and the final one lasts until 1^st July.

           More was I shocked by the fact that I didn't find any information about the contest myself rather than I was happy after finding out about it from Piotrek. It's kind of a weekend tradition that we watch these series together with Milena and sometimes, which is odd, she watches it alone :)

           The first stage assignment was to apply until 29^th April. It was really hard to fulfill this condition using less than 2000 characters. As a person known for verbosity and taking delight in using flowery language I find it quite a challenge. I have two witnesses to confirm that writing 1995 characters (I wanted to finish at 1979 – the car's production year) certainly wasn't an easy thing to do and took several hours. Luckily, I made it to the deadline and below you can see my application no. 64414. 

          In all, there are 66776 applications in the contest (!!!), 5 of which will make it to the next stage... After reviewing several pages with the cars I must admit, that there are really interesting car applications. I had no idea that there are so many nice cars in Poland! I congratulate and envy the owners at the same time. I didn't find any Toyota similar to mine, which of course doesn't mean there aren't any in Poland. I would love to meet the owners of this model of Toyota. That would be FREAKING FANTASTIC!!! If you know someone or maybe if anyone is reading this right know - I would be more then grateful for contacting me :-).

            Currently the second stage is in progress and until 14^th May, three-person jury will choose only 5 the most interesting cars. If my application gained acceptance of the jury I would inform you in the first place! In the meantime, please cross your fingers! :-)
