One lucky scratcher will walk away with a Chevrolet Captiva SUV when they reveal a winning panel on the world’s first ‘scratch car-d’.
The scratch car-d (see what they did there) is covered in silver latex of the kind usually found on idiot-tax scratch cards. Underneath are thousands of panels, with one containing the winning symbol.
The ‘Scratch Car-d’ was unveiled in London’s Covent Garden on a bed of 16,995 pennies, which adds up to £169.95. The Chevrolet Captiva costs £16,995.
Chevrolet’s Les Turton commented: “You’ve been able to scratch to win a car before, but using a vehicle as an actual scratch card is certainly a first and it could take 14 hours of scratching.
“The Captiva is set to be one of the best value for money SUV’s on the market, but the fact that a lucky participant is only one scratch away from winning the car represents even better value.”

Around 400 people a day risk damaging their car by misfuelling, and filling up with gas is a mistake that could cost thousands. So what do you do if you´ve filled up your diesel car with unleaded petrol?

Euro Car Parts has acquired Pinco 1555 Ltd, including all 53 of LSUK's 53 branches, together with subsidiaries M I Diesel Products, Protech Automotive (UK) and Yeovil Rewind.

Fuel protests similar to those that brought the UK to a halt in 2000 are being planned by a breakaway group of disaffected hauliers, according to press reports.

Euro Car Parts has put out a statement on the closure of LSUK, stating that a closure of the business was unavoidable due to a 'lack of support'.

LSUK, thought to have been rescused by Euro Car Parts, has been unexpectedly closed by the new owners with the loss of over 600 jobs.
