Your answers in our Festive Fortunes giveaway!

Last week saw the return of our annual Christmas competition, a chance for us to give back to you and enjoy the fun of the festive period.

The competition is now finished, and we have selected our winners. But we couldn’t say goodbye to Festive Fortunes this year without sharing the winning answers but also some of the best answers that made us smile during the week. They weren’t the winning answers, but they sure stuck out in our minds. Enjoy!

“If the colour matches my eyes…”

“My sanity!”

If Santa Clause were to drive a classic, what would he drive?

“Would have to be a VW T181- the thing. Looks like a sleigh, drives like a sleigh, take the doors or for ease of hopping in and out all night and room to fit his big sack in the back with no roof in the way.  Merry Xmas Footman James!”

“A North "Polo"

“A Delorean time machine that way he would never miss anyone out!”

“A red E Type would get him around fast and compliment his costume!”
