Powerblock TV giving away a Roadster

[WIS89]

Hey y'all, I thought you might like to know that I just saw that Powerblock TV is giving away a Factory Five Roadster. They said to go to the Powerblock website or facebook page to enter. I thought you might like to know to get a chance to win. I'm going there as soon as I am done typing!!

I also hope like heck that I win it, but that's a separate matter ;-0)

Best of luck to everyone; although selfishly, I hope my entry wins!!

Good luck to all.

Regards,

Steve

I'm not seeing it on their site. Got a link to the page?

[WIS89]

Chris-

I was planning on posting a link as soon as I signed up myself. I have checked all over their site, as well as their facebook page, where they said you could register as well, and no luck. I have sent them an e-mail, and as soon as I hear back, or find a working link, I will post it for everyone here to enter. Even though I secretly hope I win, I wanted to make sure all of us here had a chance to hear about the contest and enter, so I will post it as soon as I have it. Sorry that I cannot locate it yet. More to follow...

Steve

Same results.

Sorry Guys I all ready won it!! I'll post pictures soon..;)

[scottns]

I remember a blurb in the last FFR e-mail newsletter that mentioned it. It just said info coming soon. Still waiting.

[KC Wildcat]

I feel the stars lining up......when I am done building it you guys can come by for a ride :D

[Avalanche325]

I hope I can get them both in my garage......

[scottns]

So is it a kit or a finished car? I think a kit would be better so you can build it yourself.

[WIS89]

Scott-

According to what I heard on the show this past weekend, it is a complete kit, even including some tools, if I heard correctly.

I should have waited for the link on Powerblock to be available to make my post, so I could have provided the whole story for folks, instead of just the information that I had. However, as soon as I get a link, I will let everyone know!

Sorry if I have caused any angst for anyone. As soon as I see anything, I will post it ASAP!!

Regards,

Steve

Well as I said earlier there was a small blurb in the FFR e-mail newsletter in December so we've been teased before you posted :) Seems like the only way I can afford to have one (30k is a lot for a toy :) ) is to win one so I'll certainly be trying my luck!

I was told that the give-away would debut this weekend on Spike Channel's Powerblock. Basically from what I know, as a result of the Factory Five vs. Original car episode (which will air I think in the second week of February) that the guys on MuscleCar are doing a give-away, but it's more than just a Factory Five Mk4. It includes build school for two people and a whole set of Matco tools I think and maybe even a $10,000 sponsorship from Summit for running gear and parts. In either event, full details will be this weekend and we'll obviously publicize it as much as we can.

Dave Smith has full details, but he has been like Howard Hughes in his office for the last month working on the FFR buyout.

Huh?!?!?!? What buyout?!?!?!?

[David Hodgkins]

Huh?!?!?!? What buyout?!?!?!?

FFR will soon be wholly owned by Dave Smith, as he is buying his brother out.

:)

[scottns]

Wow... sounds like a nice package. Thanks for the update!

Well THAT'S a relief. I had a horrible nightmarish vision there for a moment, of some old Texan or somesuch taking over the reins. Whew. I can get back to work now.

Mad Dog-

Thanks for all the clarification. From what I heard on Powerblock this weekend, it sounded like it was a bigger deal than just the kit-- and when I say 'just the kit,' that is by no means an insult, as I would kill for 'just' the kit; seriously I would!!!! ;-o) I appreciate your clarification.

I hope everybody is as excited as I am about the promotion. I am seriously psyched, and I truly wish everyone luck-- just that I would like to have a tad more luck than you all... As promised above, as soon as I find a link with more detail, or with the specifics on how to enter the contest, I commit to providing those details here as soon as I see it.

Thanks again Mad Dog, and I am now even more excited about the contest, although I didn't think that was possible. Oh, and tell Dave to follow the suggestion of Shakespeare; "The first thing we must do is kill all the lawyers." I am certain that there are lots of I's to dot, and T's to cross, so hopefully he emerges with his sanity intact!

More to follow you all!!

Link?

[jayguy]

I couldn't find the link. I'll be watching the PowerBlock this weekend though (or recording it for later).

I'd take just the base kit, maybe even kill for it, but if it is a full kit, with a MAC tool set, and $10K from Summit, I'll be entering as many times as possible! How many free e-mail accounts can I get between now and then? :cool:

[sclaxton]

Here is a link to where there was an answer that said it would start on the 13th.

Seriously... It's a dream prize package for sure.... Good luck all (but most to me :))

[sclaxton]

Ok, looks like they forgot they were going to be running a contest...I still do not see it on their web site.:confused:

Yeah, there's a blurb about some upcoming announcements, and to stand-by-- I've been standing by!!

As promised, as soon as I see anything, I will post it for everyone here. I would love to see one of us win this package-- it looks to be an awesome package, and something a fan of Factory Five would be especially happy to win.

Put your keyboards down guys. I have already begun sweeping out another bay in the garage. Please move along to another giveaway. No need to enter this one. :p

[jayguy]

The sweepstakes is open!

powerblocktv.com/roadster

Arg! I'm currently working in Indonesia and I can't enter due to regional restrictions. Stupid internet IP.

[GL10DR]

x2 on the IP thing ..... can't enter while working in Angola :(

[scottns]

Well it ends on June 27, 2012 @ 11:59 PM (CDT) so all you guys out of the country still have lots of time. What an insane giveaway package. Good luck all!

[WIS89]

OK guys-

Here is the link: http://www.powerblocktv.com/roadster/

Enjoy and GOOD LUCK!!!

Steve

Sorry for the double post. I just read that some others beat me to the punch. Sorry.

I've also got to say that this is one heck of a prize! Whoever wins it is going to be very, very happy. I hope someone here wins it, because there's a great bunch of folks on here, and I think it would be great if someone here was able to win it, and share the build with us. Best of luck to everyonee here on the contest!!

Regards,

Steve

[bil1024]

Yep entered! Its all about ME now!

[BigLeo69]

50,000 dollar value and you will have to come up with the taxes to recieve it.
i am in
lets start some donations for the taxes

[WIS89]

Leo-

That's a really nice idea to help the winner out. That could be a significant nut, that might force some winners to sell the kit rather than build it; I'd hate to see that!

Who is equipped to handle donations, and keep us all up-to-date with amounts and open and honest accounting?

Hopefully someone can step-up and take on this role. Leo, mad props for a good idea!

Regards,

Steve

[AJ Roadster NJ]

Entered. My prize should arrive just as I'm completing my first Roadster. :cool: Taxes? If I win I'm moving to the Isle of Man.

[Bill_VA]

Any more details from FFR? The PowerBlock site says it comes with a 6-speed transmission, I assume a T56. If a T-56, should I assume this giveaway comes with an IRS rearend? It's been documented that in order to use the T56 you had to have an IRS due to driveshaft length.

I'd be slightly tempted to sell the Coyote and use the new Ford Racing aluminum 427W. A lot less wiring mess.

[Schulzie]

I'll definately enter once I'm Stateside. It only takes one entry to win!

[Movieman]

Entered..;)

[Sailor]

Entered..... Here's to hoping!

[jayguy]

Anyone else try to enter for a second time?

Rule 3 states "LIMIT ONE ENTRY PER PERSON PER EMAIL OR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT PER WEEK."

However I keep getting an error that I've already submitted an entry with my e-mail address, and I got that the first time I tried to enter again yesterday.

The only contact I could find for them was into@rtmtv.com, so I sent them an e-mail, but if they don't allow multiple entries, they'll be in violation of their own rule.

Anyone else try a second time and succeed?

Jay

[WIS89]

Jay-

I tried again today and got the same message. However, it was just shy of a week since my first entry (it says you can enteer once per week), so I am going to try again when I know it has been more than a full week. I will let everyone know what I find out.

Steve

Since I live fairly close to the build school, they have already penciled me in as the winner. This way they don't have to pay for hotel, travel expenses, and food and drink for all of you other people. I can sleep in my own bed, eat my own food, etc. I HOPE I am the winner....

No. You misunderstood. They penciled you in to host the winner so they don't have to pay for hotel.

[scottns]

I think they must have worded "LIMIT ONE ENTRY PER PERSON PER EMAIL OR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT PER WEEK" incorrectly. I first submitted last Saturday and just tried again today (Monday) so it's been well over a week. Oh well... I put my wife in too but of course if she wins she says it's going to be her car. As long as she doesn't make me paint it purple... :p

[jayguy]

I was able to put in a second entry today.

So not sure if it's because I have rebooted since the last time I tried entering, or if they fixed the issue, but I did get an entry accepted today.

Now I hope it works next week also. :)

[WIS89]

Hey y-all-

I was able to make a second entry today (just a few moments ago), and as promised, wanted to let you all know.

Best of luck to everyone!!

Regards,

Steve

[CoolCarl]

Just entered today. Wonder what my chances are.

[Bill_VA]

Just entered today. Wonder what my chances are.

Sorry dude, your odds are pretty poor. I already won. :p

[scottns]

Just entered today. Wonder what my chances are.

Same as the rest of us! :)
