JANE, DO YOU TAKE THIS TWINGO TO BE YOUR LAWFUL WEDDED CAR?

 

Jane Skelton from Willingham has proved her Va Va Voom after winning a fantastic Renault Twingo Dynamique in a competition run by Renault and Yahoo!

Jane, a tutor, was presented with her prize car this week from Ian Davidson, sales manager at local Renault dealer Wests of Cambridge.

The competition was run on the Yahoo! Website on February 29 this year to mark the re-launch of the Renault Twingo and invited participants to find innovative ways of proposing to their men. As is traditional, February 29 is the day when the tables are turned and women propose to men rather than vice versa.

Jane’s proposal put her into the final three and involved a trip to London where she proposed to her partner Tim by enlisting the help of a group of people wearing t-shirts spelling out “Tim, will you marry me?”

Tim of course, said yes and the pair are set to tie the knot late next year when he has completed his MA in historic building conservation.

The couple have known each other for 19 years and have been together for five, so the competition proved to be a catalyst for a wedding proposal

Jane said: “It was surreal. I saw the competition and on the spur of the moment, I thought ‘I’ll do it!” 

“I decided to do something that would have something he could read; a big reveal, as I knew if I said it, I’d verbally crumble.  It worked brilliantly, and he was knocked sideways. It was a very intense moment and worth all of the planning. I didn’t tell a soul about it and he really didn’t have a clue!”

“Then, I was told that I’d made it to the final three and we had a day in London.  It was an emotional day and I spent most of it crying! 

“Then to find out we’d won was amazing. It was so surreal and bizarre!  I keep asking myself if it really happened!  I have memories of the most amazing day and also to have won a brand new Twingo was fabulous, particularly as we’ve always driven around in old bangers.

Ian Davidson, sales manager at Wests Renault, delivered the keys to both Jane and Tim this week. He said: “We had a lot of fun handing the Twingo Dynamique over and wish the couple every happiness in their journey together”.

Make a date for Duster with Hylton!

 

Dacia dealer Hylton Cheltenham is offering local motorists the opportunity to test drive the UK’s most affordable SUV.

 

Priced from just £8,995, the Dacia Duster has made waves in the motoring press thanks to its solid build, its reliability and practicality, but most of all, its jaw-dropping price – which equals the cost of some optional extras on some other brands.

 

Now, local drivers can make an appointment to put the Dacia Duster to the test before its official arrival in the UK in early 2013.  Test drives can be booked for a left hand drive version of the Duster at Hylton Cheltenham on Manor Road and Hylton Worcester on Tuesday, 18th December.

 

Henry Currie, from Hylton Cheltenham, said: “We are astounded by the fantastic package that is available for such a small price and we’re certain our customers will be too.

 

“As people are looking for a good deal these days, the Dacia Duster offers a solid vehicle with no frills.  There’s no compromise on build quality or technology, and despite not having launched yet in the UK, Dacia has already won awards for quality and reliability.

 

“Along with its sister car, the Dacia Sandero which is the UK’s most affordable car, priced from just £5,995, the Duster can be reserved with a refundable deposit of £100.”

 

For more information, visit Hylton Cheltenham (01242 222400) or Hylton Worcester on Bromyard Road (call 01905 748282) or click onto www.hylton.co.uk. Alternatively, visit  www.dacia.co.uk, or call 0800 991199.

 

Details of other pre-launch activities for both the Duster SUV and Sandero supermini will also be available on twitter @daciauk and www.facebook.com/daciauk.
