Had to go to volvocommuterhijack.com to vote

Ventzi is the ice and spice one, he had 18% of the vote, so more needed!

Hey guys,
Thanks for all of the votes so far, I really really appreciate it!


Raymy, Andy and Rich, extra thanks to yourselves for spreading the word as well!


I'm currently in second place, with 23% of the votes (with the winning votes at 37%), so I apologise in advance, I will probably be harassing you all on here and Facebook for the next two weeks!


Thanks guys,
Ventzi

How many votes d'you need?

Title: Re: Go vote
Post by: TuonoV on 13 April 2013, 10:37:32 pm
Unfortunately I don't know


The first place video currently has 36% of the votes, and mine is in second place with 26% of the votes, but it doesn't say numbers.


Individual votes don't seem to change it much so I would imagine that number is probably quite large unfortunately  :o




If you are a member of any other forums or clubs and willing to share for me I would really really appreciate it!

The prize is financial, right?

I'll help, but only if you promise to buy a Fazer with the winnings, and make it to the next LoFo meet!!  :lol :lol
Title: Re: Go vote
Post by: TuonoV on 13 April 2013, 10:42:33 pm
The prize is a car! Won't be financial, but then if I win this car, it would mean that I could sell my current car and afford to finish my flat and finally get another bike!


I've got a cheap little cbr600 that I bought for commuting so I intend to make the meets in that though it does need a good service and some new brake disks!

Good luck! I've bunged it up on a couple of Facebook groups, and also on my old Varadero 125 Owners' site.

CBR600F, I presume. What year?

Good luck with the contest!!
Title: Re: Go vote
Post by: TuonoV on 13 April 2013, 11:09:47 pm
Cheers, I really really do appreciate it! Hopefullly I get a few votes. It's frustrating not knowing exactly how far behind I am!


I'm only a member on 2 other forums  - an Aprilia one and an Alfa Romeo one - and the Aprilia one wasn't particularly supportive, and the only reply on the Alfa one is 'dude go away, work harder and buy a car' so I guess that's a no-go either!


I do hate spamming, I feel a bit more ashamed every time I do it, but then I'd kick myself if I got this far and finished in 2nd place (or 3rd 4th or 5th for that matter) and hadn't at least tried to win!


Yes, it's a 1999 CBR600F. Nice bike, just needs a bit of a decent service and it will be ready for all the meets! (Though I still massively miss my Tuono, and hope to get another - most likely if I win this car, sell my current one and then I can get another Tuono!)

Hmmm, a friend of mine has just pointed out to me that the current winner is using Vote Exchange sites on facebook to generate votes. I suppose between this may be why he's been so far ahead.


It's against the terms and conditions, so I'm debating emailing the magazine. At the risk of appearing like a sore loser (though I've catching up magically and only 3% behind him which is awesome!), I couldn't even fathom to use such tactics, especially[size=78%] with my job, unless I email the magazine, and they deem it too complicated to deal with, they may well just tell me to go ahead and do the same thing.[/size]
Title: Re: Go vote
Post by: ChristoT on 15 April 2013, 10:48:24 pm
Sore loser, my arse. If he's cheating, he's cheating. You're asking friends here (which is kosher by my book).

Report him, hopefully they'll knock him down enough for you to steal a victory!  :) :)

You going to Brum Bike shed on the 28th?
Title: Re: Go vote
Post by: TuonoV on 15 April 2013, 10:52:55 pm

Thanks.


Unfortunately I'm working on the 28th, and at the moment can't use the rest days that I've got saved up as there's too many people off that day!


Closer to the time I may get the time off though with any luck
Title: Re: Go vote
Post by: imax on 17 April 2013, 08:20:06 am
Just had a look at the current standings and Ventzi (Ice & Spice) is currently in the lead, but only by 2%

If you haven't had the chance to vote yet, please help fellow foccer and maybe win a £5k experience yourself

Thanks IMAX and Raymy  I really appreciate it.
Also thanks Locksmith, unfortunately they haven't allowed voting by anything other than Facebook, which is a shame. If you do have any family on Facebook though, I'd really appreciate any votes.

I'm winning by 3% at the moment, it's fantastic but would be nice to get a bit more of a lead as it's uncomfortably close!

Thanks

Ah, I had an email from them this afternoon. They had a think about it, and decided that they will not consider vote exchange sites as cheating, and they will put them in same category as a forum. I don't quite agree with that logic, but that's fine - I only emailed them to check where I stand.
Title: Re: Go vote
Post by: TuonoV on 22 April 2013, 03:17:13 pm
Hey everyone, I do apologise for dragging this topic up again, I just wanted to make another small push for anybody that hasn't yet voted. There's less than 2 and a half days left of the competition, and I am leading but the 2nd place is catching up and only a 2% gap now.

If there is anyone that hasn't yet voted for me, please can I ask you for your help? If you're willing to share with your friends on Facebook I would also be really really grateful! Voting only takes a few seconds if you don't watch the video (though your vote may be worth seeing me fall flat on my backside on the ice!), and you would also enter to win a £5000 experience day for yourself!

Thanks again to everybody who has helped me with this (and who has tolerated my postin on the forum). I've never made such posts before and promise never to again!

My video is called 'Ice and Spice'
The link is http://www.volvocommuterhijack.com (http://www.volvocommuterhijack.com)

Thanks ChristoT. After the stress of this one I don't think I'll be entering any other competitions! Funnily enough I very rarely enter any, even forget to play the lottery most weeks, so I'm lucky to have got this far!

So close now, but he really has bridged the gap :-S

Ventzi, can't you use the same tactics as him to get over the final hurdle?

He's trailing by 1%!! Step up, foccers!!
Title: Re: Go vote
Post by: TuonoV on 23 April 2013, 11:20:10 pm
Hey Christo,
Well, since they confirmed to me that he is allowed to use vote exchange both I and my girlfriend have been using them. Not a huge amount of success on there, so perhaps he didn't have too much success either.


I think that the reason that he was so far ahead to begin with, and how he caught up so successfully the last 2 days is that he had help by companies getting people to vote for him on facebook and twitter. He had the charity that he donated to, the rock climbing venue, krispy kreme and Edinburgh tourism sites all helping him.


I tried to get the same - I did get some help from the hospital which I donated the toys to - they were great. Hotel Chocolat have been a huge disappointment - didn't help, kept promising email responses which never came. The ice hockey venue and club also didn't reply. I had tried to donate money to charity, but I wasn't allowed to - obviously they have changed the rules a little bit and allowed him to. I wanted to donate to a kids charity which I'm running a half marathon obstacle course for, but wasn't allowed, which is how I ended up giving the holiday away. Admittedly it worked out really really well, but it's an avenue where I lost out on votes.


I'm trying everywhere that I can think of, but I'm really struggling to think of how to get more votes! A friend promised to announce it on his radio station tonight, I hope he did it (though looking at the scores doesn't look like he did or at least wasn't successful).

Last bump before this ends at midnight tonight!

I'm in joint first place, both have 37% (though don't who has the lead by a few votes).

Thanks to everybody who has voted for me and extra thanks to those who have shared this and helped me to get to where I am.

Anybody still thinking about doing it - it does only take seconds to do, or you could watch the video as well and may be worth a vote just to see me fall flat on my backside on the ice!

Thanks guys,
Ventzi

Out of around 1821 votes, in the end I won by only 6 - so I would like to offer a huge huge thank you to everybody that voted and shared and got others to vote!

You guys are absolutely incredible!
