5th Gear tested a Boxster vs 911 this evening and are giving away the 911 along with a whole host of car related tat, including up to a grand towards the insurance.

Anyone else enter?

I was surprised that an early 996 took a new Boxster on a twisty track, even more so with VBH behind the wheel.

It's got to be worth a quid to be in the draw.

now call me a cynic but if the 996 had lost then i think there would only be half as many people entering the comp!

I'm not so sure I think the interst would be just as strong. Either way it's worth a punt.

If the National Lottery is worth a bash, then so is this. A 996, two grand towards insurance and petrol, a big telly, a Playstation 3 with driving games, a supercar trackday and a day’s track tuition in your Porsche. Not far off what I’d buy with a minor lottery win anyway …
