The raffle was a smashing success! Over 60 tickets sold, enough to pay for the website and software this year AND next! To everyone that partited, thanks for your support! And once again, congratulations to our winners!
...And to those that didn't partite, don't feel bad about it. I'll be sending Bird351 to your house to discuss the matter personally :evilgrin:
Maybe not, since Ben is one of the winners....
Congratulations guys...
Congratulations!
I'm glade it was a success. I don't know what I'd do without this site. I've learned a lot (still learning) here over the past 2 or 3 years that I've been part of this community.
...and Ben, if ya still don't want the prize, PM me and we'll get Thunder Chicken to send it to me if the price is right. ;)
Yes, my name is Karl McEvoy. All these years telling you my name was Adam have simply been a means to this end. :hick:
Congrats, Karl McEvoy. :(
congrats, to the wieners
so sweet...i think this is the first raffle i ever won other than a church fruit basket when i was like 11....awesome! btw...john blair here...woooh whoooo!:tg: :banana: :banana: :banana: :headbang: :ies: :moon: :laughing:
Oh ! I forgot to buy tickets yesterday! !#%$*&
I do have a question though... If someone wanted to make a donation to the cause, could they?
It's not that I don't really want the prize. Winning anything is nice. It's that I don't really have a current use for any of the stuff offered. However, I think I'll take the fog lights, and use those on the '86 T-bird project once I move forward on that. (the sedan delivery conversion/engine swap/etc.) I'd request a small modification to them, but Carmen said as-is in the drawing thread.
Good to see that it came out better than expected or even needed. A buffer/cushion is always nice.
hehe, great job everyone ! maybe I'll win next year :D
i never win anything btw steve crandall here:):rollin: :rollin:
Donations are always welcome (hell, I'll NEVER turn down money :D), but at this point they're not necessary - the draw has paid for two more years of the messageboard.
There likely won't be a draw next year, since we're paid up. If I do have a draw it might be for charity, such as Christmas Daddies, hurricane (or whatever the
disaster du jour is next year) relief, or something to that effect
Well, this raffle is proof that karma works! Joe (bondocougar) and Karl (Cougars 2 Go) both won because of all the times they helped me out. Congrats guys!
Keep up the raffles each year, this board will be around for a long time, and the money sitting wont hurt the board, if anything, it might allow us more features, and say one year we cant afford to pay for it...we'll have the money
Yes Ben, send the Fogs to me. I'll protect them from potential hurricane damage.
About those Fogs, Carmen, are they available for purchase outside this raffle? I know I'd seen 'em on your site once before, but I wasn't able to find 'em the last time I looked, yesterday.
i love you cat stewie he rules i cant belive i won maybe my life is on an upward swing i can finaily put the shot gun away(joke no calls please) hooray lets all celebrate the greatnesss that is me
but seirously thanks for having this site its helped out a few times and its pretty entertaining too
love ya,
me
Brian - the lights can be bought here:

Even though they fllash in the pictures there, they do have a "steady burn" option for fog/driving light use.
I'm guessing the TCMLED MAXI "STEALTH" SERIES are probably the ones closest to the stock size of the old Marchal fog lamps on TurboCoupes.
Also, is pricing per light or per set of two?
I'm just curious how bright they are...40 of the new(er) 5mm 40k mcd 20° LED's only put out a total of ~150 lumens...300 for both lights. Compared to the usable light coming from the factory foglights/bulbs, 150 is nothing
What about this (http://"http://www.superbrightleds.com/led_info.htm")?
Just curious.. haven't messed with LEDs enough to know if the above applies to the conversation.
The pricing is for each light. I do sell them slightly cheaper for apair on eBay.
The lights put out a very bright white light, bright enough to nearly blind you when you look into them, but it is not focused like a fog lamp beam is. Truthfully they're best used for looks (as are most of the small fog lights you see). I actually don't have a set on my car because in order to replace my lights the front bumper cover has to come off and I'm just too lazy to do it. I do have an LED flashlight, though, and it seems that in dim light conditions (dusk) the LED light isn't as bright as a regular flashlight, but in total darkness the LED flashlight kicks the regular light's ass. The light it throws is pure white and it seems to capture detail better. I almost think there may be an ultraviolet component to the light output as well, because it seems to make certain things glow
