| Cheers! Mike & Calum enjoying their coffee break in the tinny |
Are you the sort of person who always wins things? I’m not!
I feel like the world is divided into 2 types of people… the winners and the
non-winners! I know a man who has won the lottery…twice! He set his
grandchildren up with deposits for their first homes with the first win and
shouted himself a 6-month cruise with the second. Seriously. My friend’s mother
has won the meat tray raffle so many times that it has become a family joke
that she doesn’t go to the butcher anymore- she heads straight to the Yacht
Club when the family needs meat! Me though, nothing! Never! I guess the old
saying, you’ve got to be in it to win it rings true- but imagine if you had
forgotten that you were in it, and then you got a phone call from SunshineToyota saying Congratulations! You are the proud new owner of a STACER 395
PROLINE tinny complete with trailer, 12 months boat and trailer rego, Smooth
Water safety package, boat tie down, motor support and engine flushers: valued at $7,000! You
would have to be pretty rapt with that!

| This is me presenting Len with his brand new tinny package! |
Enter Len Fox. Len and his wife bought a car from us in
March during our “Win a Tinny” competition that we held in conjunction with
North Coast Boating. Anyone who purchased a new or used vehicle during February
and March went into the draw to win. Len said that he was so happy with his new
Hilux that he had completely forgotten about filling in the entry form to win a
boat. He was taken by surprise when our super salesman Jon rang him with the
good news!
Len was chuffed when he came in to collect his prize; he
loves the water and already has a boat. Len told me that he had decided to give
his old boat to a 14-year-old kid that had been having a tough time lately. He
said this kid had always wished for a boat and that this was the perfect opportunity
to make his dream come true. Needless to say, I had goose bumps after hearing
this! What an amazing “pay it forward” story! So congratulations Len! Enjoy the
Hilux and enjoy the boat, and maybe think about buying a lottery ticket today
as you are on a winning streak!
