The Best of the Best Win a Supercar competition for a Range Rover Evoque Prestige was taking place at Lakeside when I happened to be there accompanying my wife who was looking for a Christmas present.
I could not but notice this strange car which was parked by the 3 Store within the inner concourse on the ground floor. I felt there was something inherently wrong with its appearance, because the roof looked as if it had been squashed down at the back, but that was an optical illusion. In fact the roof was almost horizontal and parallel to the ground. The odd visual effect was caused by the shape of the windows which narrowed towards the rear of the car.
The front end looked like the head of a monster with shark-like eyes (headlamps) and a mouth full of sharp teeth (grill) for tearing me apart. I was distinctly uneasy in its presence. Everything about the car was macho – a bionic machine with bulging muscles like those of Mr Universe. Get in its way, you wouldn’t stand a chance.
At £5 a time for entering the competition, a spot the ball interactive computerized game of skill, you will be throwing your money away except for a small portion that will go to a charitable cause. Consider the matter - since 2005 B OT B has donated £117,000, but the Plc has raised 2 million pounds (net of expenses)!
Text for the Day
Matthew 6:1‘Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.’
