JIMNY FOR JIMMY!

Antique Centre Manager Jimmy Blackburn was mid-call with a customer when he spotted Christian wearing the legendary BOTB branded gilet out the corner of his eye…so immediately said he’d call back later! As a long-standing player Jimmy knew what was coming next and after first telling his wife off for keeping it secret from him, was thrilled to be presented with the awesome Suzuki Jimny SZ5!

Jimmy’s whole family were on hand to enjoy the moment with him and soon-to-be 17-year old son Jamie was particularly interested in proceedings, with his driving lessons about to get underway! Jimmy often plays for the Jimny as “it’s just a really cool car” and we certainly agree – congratulations on becoming Dream Car competition winner number 481 Jimmy!

Jimmy, Jamie and the Jimny!

Jul 2019

Meet Jimmy, Jamie and their new Jimny as Chorley father celebrates winning a rare Suzuki car while teenage son pleads for L Plates for his 17th birthday. 

Jimmy Blackburn has won £19,000 Suzuki Jimny thanks to dream car competition, BOTB, with son Jamie also eager to get in the driving seat. 

Jimmy, 44, was surprised by BOTB presenter Christian Williams as well as his wife Carol and 16-year-old Jamie, who all made an impromptu visit to his workplace for the big reveal. 

"I am on such a high right now," said Jimmy, after his prize was revealed. "It hasn't sunk in that I actually won – I'm truly on top of the world!" 

TESTIMONIAL

To me, it was just another regular Tuesday morning. But my wife (who had known that I’d won since Monday morning!) played her part brilliantly in my special day - she never gave anything away, which can’t have been easy! It was always a dream that perhaps Christian would one day come knocking and as you can see in the video the surprise of seeing his beaming face coming through the entrance to my work was simply unbelievable. The energy he brings to the party just helps the day become even more special. So we walked outside and there it was - my winning prize. I honestly couldn’t believe what was happening and literally had to pinch myself just in case this was just a dream. But it wasn’t, it was for real! 

I will never forget this amazing day and I would like to thank everyone at BOTB for making this experience so special for me and my family.

Please believe me that if you persevere and keep on playing this great game you could and will one day see Christian and the team knocking at your door…and I promise that it will be one of the most amazing days of your life!

Thanks for everything to everyone at the BOTB team.
