Scratchy


It isn't often that someone is going to ask you to scratch their car. But this is exactly what happened yesterday. While most of us try to park somewhere where they won't see their car damaged, Chevrolet parkled a car in the middle of Covent Garden and gave people a chance to scratch off the paint. The lucky person who found the correct part won the car.

There were 18995 scratch panels, to indicate the price of the Captiva in the UK, and the car was positioned on a bed of 16995 pennies. Chevrolet had coated the car in the latex used for scratch cards, a job that took 2 months.

It would have all gone horribly wrong if the first person to take part had uncovered the winning symbol. In fact it took 14 hours before someone won.

I hope they will give the car a new paint job before they give it to him.
