ExplorOz Team - David
Something special has occured at ExplorOz today. I have decided that it is worth running a special contest in the
forum. So for the first three people who can guess what the special thing that happened today is, I am offering the following prize options:
Option 1 - Spare Wheel cover to suit you vehicle + sticker
Option 2 - 2 x Caps and 2 x Stubby holders + sticker
Option 3 - Free
Membership + sticker
Option 4 -
Membership renewal and a Cap + Stubby holder + sticker
To enter you will need to email me directly your guess at what has happened. I will publish in this thread the winners and the answer when I have three winners. Only answers in email will be accepted - email to forumcomp@exploroz.com
Good luck.

I have received 26 guesses in the first 30 mins of the contest and can report one winner so far. I will not tell you who until the comp is over as you might all try to ask this person. We do not want any cheating going on.
BTW: Some of the guesses are very funny I may just add another prize pack for the funniest one.
I will not reply to all the guesses now it is hard to keep up so have your guess or multi guesses. I have to go to visit a client now for an hour or so, I will check the results when I get back - Good luck.

That's freaky! Yes it was me. I go to "Yummy Mummies" there on Monday mornings for an hour. It's an outdoor fitness class for mums and babies. We walk from the
Mullaloo beach carpark with the prams and stop to do stretches, situps, squats, lunges, steps, sprints etc and return an hour later.
BTW - we have more than 14 million hits per month, so that's not the answer to David's quizz sorry.

OK I am back now and have read the next 30 or so guesses. Not one more correct answer. So we still have one winner (who does not know yet). I will have to give you a clue.
THE CLUE IS:
Did you know that you can read past newsletters on the site. The links are in the left hand column in the MailList box!
This is so much fun you would not believe some of the answers. I will have to post some of them.
Good luck and keep trying!

Horray,
We have three winners. I think my last clue gave it away.
THE ANSWER WAS: 300,000 visits (sessions) for the month.
Sorry for those that tried 300,000 hits for the month as this is a totally different answer. We have 500,000 hits per day.
The winners are:
WOMBAT (selected Option 1)
B3 (selected Option 3)
NAVARAMAN (selected Option 3)
Thank you all for playing - maybe we can do this more often. I guess we just need more good news to keep coming in.
Some of the funny answers:
- Did Truckster actually praise someone's choice of vehicle? :)
- You saw Bob Brown and a number of Greens driving off-road through a rain forest???????
- There were no 3.0 Nissan questions this week?
- John Howard called you to let you know there would be tax concessions for all 4WD owners, incl tax free fuel.

David,
Tonight is technically a blue moon. Let's hope for ExplorOz's sake that this isn't something that only happens once in a blue moon.
