MG TD TF 1500 - OT -- Motoring Raffle

A local Divine Word Missionary Retreat Center has an annual fund raiser that includes a silent auction for a variety of donated items and services. I've been asked to consider offering a ride in Lazarus (my 52 TD) to the highest bidder. The suggested value is about $100 including my driving. I'm willing to make the offer, but I have no idea how to word such a proposal. Anybody have any idea how I might word a small sign inviting bids? Thanks, Bud

"Afternoon of Cornering Robustly" comes to mind right away.

My suggestion:

Lazarus Rides Again....!



Would fit nicely with the Divine Word.....

Go bid for a ride...!

Lazarus, my '52 mg td is waiting for you! Driver included. Lazarus is a famous British open sportscar with immaculate sound and performance.

Come on, give me your bid. The bidding starts at $ 50 and the bid-increment is $ 5,-.

No reserve, that is that Lazarus don't leave the garage for less than $ 5,-!!!

Oops...little mistake...the story should end with $ 50 in stead of $ 5

But of course it's all up to you Bud.

Well done, Jasper. Actually, Lazarus is somewhat famous in the area for having been at the beginning of Plymouth's 4th of July parade for quite a few years. If fact, the year that the Town decided that they couldn't afford the parade the local newspaper used an old photo of Lazarus in their editorial about not having the parade. Thank you. Bud

Remember this one? The auction was last weekend and the winning bid was $50. It was sort of fixed. The winner was one of the priests. Here's what I put together:

He got an excellent deal ...lot of smiles per miles I'm sure!

We'll be motoring tomorrow morning. Should be fun. Bud

Wait, the priests have to support their own raffle? And they fixed it?

Now that is funny!
