The Competition
Guess the words to complete the following sentence:
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
The Prize
The completed sentence will tell you what the prize is.
The Rules - Important
1. Do not guess two words in succession - you must wait for another member to guess before having another go or guessing the entire sentence. I will confirm if the guesses are correct at random intervals (This allows me to control the speed of the competition to make it fair for different time zones.)
2. The winner is the first to post the entire sentence correctly
3. The dots do not indicate the number of letters in each word
Any problems then let me know - Good luck guys.

The 9th, 11th and 12th words?
-
There was an a in front of F1
-
The original thread for this competition was accidentally deleted, this should be where we was, please let me know if I've missed any words.
Please continue to guess words as before and the competition will continue as normal.

Alright..is one of you techie guys hacking poor Wiz's site? We seem to be going backwards here - page 8 is really page 6 or so, and my (winning?) guess is nowhere to be found.

:yahoo: :D WELL DONE STEVEN ROY! :D :yahoo:
You've won a superb F1 Commemorative Newspaper Book:
Relive the exhilarating and nail biting moments of Formula 1 from 1958, as told in the newspapers of the time in this beautiful bound 38x30cm burgundy leatherette hard back commemorative book.
Read about the triumphs and tragedies of Hawthorn, Clark and Senna and unforgettable champions such as Graham Hill, Stewart, Lauda, Hunt, Mansell and of course Schumacher.
The greatest drivers and the best races are covered, the coverage starts with Mike Hawthorn victory in 1958 and continues right up to include Hamilton & the 2007 season.
Steven please PM me your full name and address for postage.
:good: Well done to everyone who entered :good:
It wasn't that difficult, was it? :DntKnw:
-
Nice one Steven,I know you'll enjoy
this prize.I may have to order one myself
-
Kudos, Steven! Well done! :yahoo:
I'm with you, Dare. I'm going to look into one myself.
It wasn't that difficult, was it? :DntKnw:
^^^ :P^^^
-
Good win, Steven! I found it too, but you had already answered, so I threw in the 'First Edition' on a lark.
Hey Wiz - looking at the picture, it seems a bit thin to cover all the races for all the seasons. I was thinking about ordering it, but by my estimation if it includes a page or more per race, it should be in the 600 page range. Is it just a few highlights from each season? It looks a bit thinner than that.
-
I'll take a peek at it tonight scotty and let you know.
-
Congratulations, Steven! I would never have guessed that such a book even existed; sounds like a marvellous prize to win. Hope you enjoy it! :yahoo: :yahoo:
-
Thank you all for the congrats. Thanks to the Wiz for yet another great prize and yet another time consuming competition. Thanks to all who attempted to answer and in so doing came up with most of the words in my answer. And finally thanks to Yahoo for their search engine without which it would probably have taken me until the third birthday to come up with commemorative.
I think it is interesting that such a book exists and it seems like none of us apart from the Wiz knew it existed.
-
Yahoo? I came up with Commemorative (I found it on Google).
-
Well done SR, I found this book several guesses ago, as you will see in my post.... I just couldn't work out how the Wiz worded it....... You truly are a master wordsmith Wiz and Steven your tenacity has served you well.
Once again Steven well done and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GPWIZARD!

Well done Steven on winning the book, I too had never heard of it I guess that's why he's called the Wiz. Cheers Wiz for a great competition.
-
Top man Steven, well done, congrats to you. :good:
-
well done, steven i was nealy right thanks to google ;)
-
I received my prize today.
It is a facinating book. I assumed that it would only contain motor racing stories but it has a good mix of racing and general news which gives a context to the racing.
Thanks Wiz.
-
Glad you like the book, Steven, and well done again for winning it. Also, good on you Wiz for providing such lovely prizes for competitions.
