EDIT - things died down here a bit... And a promotion at work has shortened my time on GT5 and gtplanet. It's not completely dead however! I wouldn't rule out a resurrection here and there...

Thanks to all who have participated so far,

Welcome to Smitty's Gifting Center

A place for free Cars, Tickets and Paints - done a little differently!






Zero Current Open Giveaways






Gifting is one of my favorite parts of gtp and GT5 in general. I was introduced to this ideal by the master, s0ul_chicken (turns west and tips cap). Some of what I will give away here has a poultry scent to it... nt1138 is pitching in too. Thank You to you and others.

This thread is for me hold my own giveaways. If you would like, please participate! I tend to do giveaways a little differently... Often with trivia, guessing games, and other posts requiring a little more interaction. Maybe photo posting or some googling involved.

"Who wants a _______?"
"I do"
"Ok, FR me"

That is nice, and gets the job done, but this will be more interactive and fun than that (at least that is my goal!). 99% of the time you will post here to participate. I won't be looking for PM's as entries for giveaways - EVER - thanks for understanding that. Winners should FR me, and please don't send a blank FR, that just slows down the process. Thanks again for understanding.

My current cupboard is pretty strong, more than 15 different level tickets including some biggies like 23, as well as some attractive birthday tickets including 67, 69, 70, and 71. About 40 0/0/0 cars as well. Surely far from the biggest stash on gtp, but enough to have some fun with. I have all Mattes, as well as Chromes. DLC paint too - painted cars are in the mix.

I'll occasionally drop a ground rule or two, thanks in advance for abiding. I post with my phone 99% of the time... Just chalk up spelling errors to my charm if you would please :)

I look forward to furthering your enjoyment of one of the best games you could possibly place inside your PS3.

Cheers from Indianapolis, Smitty

Giveaway #1

My little title thingy next to my username states that I want 1 of 4,038. What on earth could I be talking about? First correct answer wins a 0/0/0 Ford GT No Stripe and 5 paints of their choice.

If you are not interested in the prize but know the answer, politely leave the giveaway to others, or PM a friend and get him/her involved. If you've followed any of my posts on gtp, this is the correct place to start for giveaway #1!
 
Giveaway #2 - Mary Queen of Heaven, Pray for Us

Level Ticket 23 or Birthday 70, your choice.

My son (junior) and daughter (freshman) attend a magnificent high school with a two time defending state champion football program which has also won more state titles than any other school in their class.

They play a rival, larger school tonight.

How many points will OUR team score tonight? Guesses are accepted throughout the weekend. If the same number is guessed twice, first poster wins.

A Ford gt?
Answer to giveaway 1

CORRECT!!

Most sources state 4,038 Ford GT's were produced. All I need is one of them to be happy!

Comgratulations, you win a 0/0/0 Ford GT No Stripe Sir. Please FR me
At BJBEOSmitty and please mention "no stripe" or something similar. As my first ever winner, can I throw in some paints for you? Matte/Chrome/Color Change? Perhaps paint your No Stripe a DLC color? Let me know via visitor message to keep the thread clean(er).

Giveaway #3 - Name Crazy

Prize is any Premium, Tradeable Car, painted in the DLC Color of your choice and 5 Chrome or Matte paints of your choice.

In GT5, which NASCAR Driver has his name butchered? His last name is sometimes misspelled, and the misspelling is ALSO used in place of his first name at times! For example, if the driver's name was Robbie Fowler, GT5 says "Fiwler had a great 2009 season, wowing his fans and his sponsors".
 
Giveaway #4 - Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Basic giveaway - first to quote this post gets a 1967 ticket!!! IF you also provide a fun fact about the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans race in your post. In addition to the required fun fact, including a photo in the same post will also get you either a second 1967 ticket, which will go to any other poster in this thread of your choosing, OR 5 paints for yourself.
 
Giveaway #3

Cheers Smitty, there was another GT parked at the side of that one but not in the colour. Anyone that needs the ticket can have it sir. I'll leave that up to you fellow pirate, garrrr!
 
The NASCAR driver who has his name spelled incorrectly has not been named yet. At least the one that I noticed has not been named yet.

Giveaway #5 and #6

Who needs Matte Paints? Who needs Chrome Paints? No somersaults or hops to jump through here, just claim them

ie "I'll take Chrome (specify gold/silver/some of both)" and FR me
or "I'll take some Mattes (which 5 would you like)" and FR me.

Off to the football game in about 15 mins... So by for now. I'll probably check in a few times.
