One of these!

Jim and Lauren will work out the details with OBC, but one thing I know for certain is that all raffle proceeds will go to a non-profit organization.

Be sure to pre-register! You wouldn't want to be the person who takes home a QuadRover yet showed up unannounced. Good thing we have OBC to run the event and lay out the rules.

    No picture here, either. But, I do see "QuadRover" in the post.

    Edit: Picture showed up after I posted the above.

    Your gonna need a big box to hold all the tickets for that one.

    It appears that there are only 14 left.

    That's no moon! That's a ............... !!

    Looks like we'll have no problem raising money for the Red Cross this year.
    With all that has happened the last year, they could use all the help they can get.

    Will there be one of these, or something similar, at UPEC?

    Let's wait and see how much charity money the UPEW attendees raise in the QuadRover raffle. If they are really successful then we might consider adding one to UPEC, but no promises.

    More likely would be some other key products which we can more easily ship to UPEC.

    That does raise an interesting question. I wonder how many UPEW attendees have now canceled their flight reservations, opting to drive a van or pickup to Rocklin instead. :) Hope springs eternal!

    Well, unless it is won by ErNa (who lives in Germany most of the time) I think we can be talked into shipping it to somebody's home.

    @SLRM: If you're going on a bicycle, you would be better off riding home on your quadrover!

    Darn a sock...

    If I do show up it will be with out reservation. I do not know if I will be able to make it or not. Probably will not get to see what silly things the winner does with there Quad Rover.

    I'm starting to think if I just bought one, I could now just tell the wife that I won it! Would that be wrong?

    Now, how many frequent flyer points do I have??? IIRC I need 110,000 points from Oz.
