Breaking news about the prize draw on the 12th of September. Ticket holders will have a chance to win a free membership to Streetcar, the largest pay-as-you-go car club in the UK. From their site:

Streetcar has cars parked in a dense network of dedicated spaces across London and several other UK cities, typically within a few minutes walk of your home or work. You can use one for as little as 30 minutes or as long as 6 months.

They are reserved online or by phone, and can be collected and returned 24/7 using one of our high-tech smartcards. Our fleet is made up of brand new Volkswagen Golfs, Polo BlueMotions and BMWs (new in 2010). We also have vans if you need to move bulkier items, and 7-seaters when you need a few more seats.

The cost of your usage is based on how long you have the car and how far you drive but unless you’re a heavy car user, the annual cost of Streetcar will be dramatically less than owning a car and with lots of the hassle of car ownership removed.

If your name is drawn for this prize you’ll become a car owner without the expense and hassle of owning a car. Cutting the expense – financial and environmental – of normal car ownership, Streetcar will get you where you want to go when you want to go there. But if you want to enter you have to buy your ticket to the fête!
