Simply guess what the sellers asking price was for these Mk1's!
Pathetic season for me! However, I love this game and want to thank you Mike for putting on the show. Well done to the winners and next season I'll try to do better!

Guess the Asking Price 'Season 4' competition.
Congrats on the winners & a big thanks Mike for the GAP comp along with the effort put in. My gut was telling me 14995 after I read it was in a dealers but the 1st answer is to be accepted. There’s always next season lol. So we’re now in our summer gap.. woohoo.. sun will be out & the tops coming down.. on the car that is.. I did take my lil gem for a small blast last night.. sounded great & felt good to give her blast after 4 weeks! Suns out tomorrow so a longer drive could be on. Hope to catch up soon with fellow smiling dubbers..

Well done winners
Thanks Mike for this Years
I cant help post now with anticipation of the finals.
I made a better effort this year to guess compared to other gap's
My head really turned when I see them posted and wished I had your postion as salesman too.
Have I stayed on form or pipped at the post???
That lifeline you threw me was still out '0' but I had not considered the local interest shown by the dealership.
Until tommorow..

Morning everyone, well here we are with the season 2017/18 over.
We started back on the 22nd of October last year with car No.1 and since then the players have challenged their wits up against each other with 21 cars in total.
This version of 'GAP' has attracted over 10,000 hits and nearly 1,400 comments in 21 weeks and 23 players played every round very impress indeed!
But it's time to bring it to a close by announcing the winners of 'GAP Season 4'.
In 1st place having amassed 62 points is hopsandmovingon
In 2nd and so close to the top spot, just coming up 3 points short with 59 points is ppc229w
In 3rd just 2 points short of the runner up spot with 57 points is GCE799
Spare a thought for the three players just out of the medals and all amassing more than 50 points.
Just behind the is a group of 5 players all with on 47 points which shows that they've been regular vistors to the podium.
So I'd like to sign off by saying thank you all for taking part, you've been truly enthusiastic and it's been a real pleasure being your on the field referee.
I must also mention Chris easternkris who's done all the scoring throughout the season flawlessly every week on time and maintained the league for us.Couldn't have done it without his help!
Please note.
Will all the winners send their full name and address in a Private Message to ppc229w as he has kindly offered to take delivery of the medals and post them to the other winners.
There is one more medal to be awarded to the player we deem to be the best 'Rookie of the Year'.
That will be awarded next weekend when I've had time to seriously consider my options!
Right then time for me to take my whistle off and hang up my boots and I hope you all have enjoyed yourselves and have a great spring and summer.

Thanks all been a great way to annoy the wife with all things mk1 while the rain and snow has been falling.
Some good banter and superbly organised. Well done all the winners.
Excited feel for this afternoon when I get to add some antifreeze mix to mine and start her up again for the first one in about a month.

Well done the winners, and thanks to Mike and co for all their time and the work that goes into running GAP. Thoroughly enjoyed guessing every week, sometimes near, most times not ! Hoping there's going to be another season.

Many thanks for the kind words I'm really proud of the fact that you like it because as I've said before it does take up a lot of my time.
Talking of which, as for another season well this ones only just finished so I really need a break.
The issue here about a new season is that first of all I really don't have anything like enough stock for another.
Which means I would have to spend a great deal of time sourcing enough cars.
Plus as you may know I have taken on new senior roles for the club. I'm now Moderator Team Manager and Assistant Webmaster.
It's all completely new to me and I'm in the dark as to how much time these two positions will take up. Given my health situation I want to be sure as I can that I can finish what I've started.
Don't forget I've just been forced into retirement which is a big shock and will take some time adjusting to at my age.
So the thought I have if I'm pushed at the moment is no not again next winter but to bring it back for the winter 2019/20.
By then I will have enough stock and be familiar with the my new roles within the club.
Hope you get where I'm coming from because there has to come a day when I say no more because I want to stop this on a high and not when it's past its 'use by' date!

Yes know where you are coming from. Having in the past been seconded to help out in a number of clubs you can seriously underestimate the time required to do the job.
You can have to much of a good thing, better leave stage right when you are on top and the audience is clamouring for more. Then like old blue eyes do a series farewell gigs.

Thanks my friend and to be absolutely honest it's to early to say.
The biggest deal breaker at the moment is I have nowhere near enough cars for a full season.
So I need time away before I start again trawling through for sale ads looking for new stock. If I did that I did that now I'd have no break at all.

I was just looking through the end of season 3 to see where I finished last time, which was 14th,, so moving up to 7th (joint 7th…) was a heck of a result! (It was going in blind that did it…. I obviously have no clue)
However, I also saw this ppc229w - at the end of the last season you posted the below photo of your son, blamed him on coming second and as it turns out, you haven't done any better… I think you need to replicate it, do you? haha
Thanks again golf cabrio - your efforts are always welcome, you do such a great job with me and you can obviously see that people enjoy it!
Also, there's no working you hard in the team, there are always people on hand to help out, so no stress there!
As I say to all of the team, all you can do is what you can, as long as you tell us when you can't, someone else will always step up

Morning everyone, well just when you thought it was safe to visit you mailbox!
Time to announce the winner of this seasons 'Rookie of the Year' award.
He played every match right from the start and finished in a very respectable 12th place in his first season.
The winner of this prestigious award is Wes_france
Very well done Wes for your first season you kept on picking up points here and there without ever quite hitting the jackpot. Had you a little more luck you would have been a top contender. Better luck next time.
So Wes please send ppc229w a private message with your full name and address so we can post your medal to you when it's ready.
So now we know all the medals I will be contacting the company that provided them for the last three seasons and order them.
I'll be next reporting back when I get a rough delivery date.

I need to thank a few people who helped me achieve this accolade.
Firstly thanks to my friends and family who have seen me through the dark times and the constant beeping of my phone over the last few months.
Secondly, thanks to the discovery channel and their huge array of repeated car build shows. Without them my life would be so much more productive…
And finally thanks to everyone who participated including those that organise and run the competition. I will be back next year with lots more random guesses
