OK so it looks like yours truly has made a cock up.
Here we are 15 days into the competition and the statcounter is reading 10,000 more page loads than in the previous 15 days which I based my figures on, at this rate we will be some 40,000 page loads over the 63,000 that I suggested.
So what I intend to do is remove the first two digits all of the entries received so far, so 63,543 becomes 543.
The object of the competition remains the same, You have to guess the last three digits of the total number of page loads my site gets by midnight 31/12/14.
The figure will be for my site and the forum but not for Pats boxes site or the ebay counter (which is labeled as VBD Forum)
The page to look at for the final reckoning is here = http://statcounter.com/p2866350/summary ... s-bar-all/
The winning entry will be the one that predicts the last three digits or the nearest to the total number of pageloads recorded by statcounter for 2014 without going over, So if you have not placed an entry yet then please let me have your three digit entry.
Entry is free and the prize is a genuine piece of Lesney history, A Yesteryear Daimler attached to an ashtray that was awarded to a Lesney employee in 1968 as a commemorative of the company receiving their second Queens award for Industry. These were given to all employees and being as this event was 46 years ago there can't be many of them left. The ashtray has a label affixed to the base to this effect.

972 - 9 because my daughter was nine this month and 7 because my son will be 7 later this month and 2 for two family birthdays in November.

That's about the number of minor RW castings I am looking for. As I find 5 Jason and Antonin find another five new ones.
