Romance in a roadster 02-June-2004

WOMAC supporter Richard Eccleston turned his St Valentine’s win into a romantic weekend.He exchanged his winning raffle ticket at WOMAC’s St Valentine’s party for the keys to a Vauxhall VX220 Turbo for the weekend. Then he whisked his fiancée Liz Turner off to the stylish De Vere Arms in Earls Colne, Essex.Once there, they were able to put the roof down and exploit the little roadster’s pin-sharp handling on some empty country roads.Richard said: "The VX220 is such fun, it’s quick and responsive and it looks great. I’d like to thank Vauxhall for donating the car to WOMAC for the weekend. I really didn’t want to give it back."

Other prizes in the raffle included two mountain bikes, tickets for the Six Nations rugby championship and a pair of tickets for London Fashion Week.
