Don with the Nitro T-Shirt

Don from Canada, was one of the winners of the Dodge Nitro T-shirt contest that I ran on my blog sometime back.

He finally sent me a picture of him wearing the t-shirt. He also informed me that he’s buying a Nitro next year.

Go on over to his blog ’Binary-01’ and say Hi!

Dodge Nitro T-shirt contest sponsors disappear

I finally realized I was scammed after repeated e-mails to the contact person and the company who sponsored my Dodge Nitro T-shirt contest, remain unanswered.

The winners of the contest will not go empty handed. I have already sent them a t-shirt each from my own ’Auto Enthusiast’ online shop. I really apologise for not being able to deliver the promised prizes. This is a big lesson for me.



Read the whole series of events here, right from the start when a lady named Corrie Zielinski contacted me. I later found out that she was the Online Brand Manager of an online advertising company called New Media Strategies.

UPDATE: 5 June 2007
I am really happy to announce that everything turned out great in the end. The whole fiasco was due to e-mail problems.

Winners of the Nitro T-shirt contest

You might recall that I had organised a Nitro T-shirt contest sometime back. I can now finally announce the winners. They are 1. DON (BinaryGuy) and 2. DORIS,

Come back for updates.


Nitro T-shirt contest

I recently got my hands on two Dodge Nitro “Can” t-shirts: one red with long sleeves and another black with short sleeve. Well, I have decided to give them away.

Why do we call it the “can” t-shirts, take a look at the picture below…


The designs



If you would like to get your hands on one of them, read on.

Here are the rules:

1. Write a post describing what you like about the Dodge Nitro (minimum 50 words). It’s ok even if you haven’t driven it as yet. You can refer to the looks or specs.

2. Add a link to the official Dodge nitro site at (http://www.dodge.com/en/nitro/index.html)

3. Add a link to my blog (http://autolah.blogspot.com) with the key words: “Auto Blog”. Optional.

4. Leave a comment here with a link to your post.

That’s it.

Oh! I almost forgot:

- The contest will end on the 25th of March 2007.

- The Judge’s (ME) decision is final.

- Results will be posted on this blog.

- One winner, one t-shirt. Meaning that there will be two winners.



For your information, the Dodge Nitro is an SUV from the Dodge division of DaimlerChrysler and is due for launch in Europe soon. It’s the first time Dodge-branded cars will be sold in Europe.

UPDATE: The winners of the contest are BinaryGuy and Doris Chua.
