National Lottery Competition
2008-06-06 23:46:00
Because there has been literally no entries at all to either of my two competitions. I am going to offer the first person who enters a free lucky dip to the main Lotto draw on 21 June 2008. So to re-iterate, the first person who counts themselves into the competition will automatically win a lucky dip ...

Win £10 Worth of National Lottery Tickets
2008-06-05 23:47:00
After posting a brand new competition on my other blog, Buy Me A Ferrari, I thought it was only right I had another competition for the readers of FerrariDave. Taking a similar sort of prize idea used on Buy Me A Ferrari, on FerrariDave I am going to give away £10 worth of National Lottery tickets. ...

I?m Back!
2008-04-13 18:07:00
As per the title and my previous post, I’m back from Belgium/France and I enjoyed the trip very much so. Until I was nearly home there wasn’t a WiFi hotspot anywhere near where I actually went. However, even if there was, to be honest, I don’t think I would have had much time to post as we ...

You?ve Got To Love It
2008-02-14 00:43:00
During my regular reading of PistonHeads today, I came across an article titled Copper Load of This. The article itself is a few photos of a police car with a parking fine on it’s windscreen. Not only did I find this quite amusing, they were also taken in Newcastle (not far from me) (that’s UPON-TYNE for ...

Rant About Car Insurance
2008-02-04 21:59:00
As most of you will be aware, I passed my driving test on Thursday 31st January 2008 (last Thursday) and since then I’ve been looking at the price of a car and insurance. Now, the price of the car isn’t the problem I can pick up a car for anything from £300 upwards so affording that ...

Entrecard Competition Winner

First of all, just a little note to say that I apologise for the lack of posts on this blog but I have had a few things that have made me busier than I’d first thought they would. Yesterday, I passed my driving test first time with only 4 minor faults - so I’m still pretty ...

Naughty Registration Plates

I often visit Reg Transfers as one day (when I’m a millionaire :P) I wish to own a few expensive cars and a few expensive registration plates to go with them. On their website they have a naughty section with some pretty cool (but naughty) plates. Here’s a selection of some that I found great and would ...

FerrariDave is Changing!
2008-01-14 12:33:00
After running FerrariDave since 11th November 2007, I have decided that some stuff needs to change. Nothing too drastic so don’t worry. Rather than FerrariDave being a personal blog, I am going to start another more personal blog with a domain name more personal to myself. This website will not only have a blog but will ...

If Carlsberg Did Speed Bumps
2008-01-14 00:32:00
Found a link to this video on Multi Forums and I too thought it would be a really cool idea for Carlsberg’s ‘If Carlsberg did…’ range. What do you think? Do you have any cool videos you would like to share from YouTube or similar?

These will consist of the usual signed memorabilia sent to me by the celebrity or their agents.Information including links to these auctions will be posted when it's available.That's all for now, just basically a quick entry to tell you that I am back here and that I will eventually get back to d7blog.co.uk; with a blog on its own hosting.

Update about me
2007-03-03 00:39:04
Thank you to anyone who is reading this, very much appreciated :-). If you would like to see anything change on D7 Blog, or any specific reviews etc. Please either comment on this blog post or send an email to: blogsuggestion@daviddunn.co.uk Firstly, apologies for the large gap between my last post and this one. The reason for this is, I have never really had a chance to update the blog recently, what with GCSE coursework and just general school work. I’m currently playing catch-up with my coursework and I can guarantee that once I sort out all my coursework (hopefully within this week), I will be posting one hell of a lot more frequently. I haven’t been out a great deal over the past couple of days, again because of my coursework and school stuff. The only place I have been is Newcastle College on their open evening last night (7th February). Overall I was pretty impressed with Newcastle College, nice range of courses and the tutors seem to be pretty good too. So itR...

1. Do you pay much attention to the Oscars?   No, I can’t say I pay any attention what-so-ever to the Oscars, a load of rubbish if you ask me. The only thing I noticed was on the news the day after - Helen Mirren won a lot of awards and that is all I know.   2. Which films did you think deserved to win?   I have really no idea as to what should have won - I’d need to know what films were nominated first and even then, I don’t see many films.   3. A certain pop princess seems to be going into melt-down. If you were Britney?s mum what would you do with her?   Don’t think there is much I could do with her; as far as I’m concerned she is beyond help!   4. Who is the ultimate popstar ever?   I’ll have to pass on this one, not entirely sure who my all-time favourite popstar would be.   5. What really annoys you?   Idiots who cannot drive properly, especially when they think someone else is in the wrong and no...

Update
2007-03-03 00:39:04
This is just a quick update for those of you who helped assist me in deciding which subjects to take as A Levels. I have now decided the four subjects in which I am going to take at Newcastle College. These are: Law English Literature Geography Computing It was suggested a couple of times via e-mail and on a couple of student forums that I should take a subject such as Geography or History etc. I then decided that Geography would be a good choice as I currently enjoy it, also my teacher for this subject at the moment thinks I would be good at it, at A Level. I decided to do the Computing course rather than the ICT as I basically fancied something different. ICT at school at the moment is boring as hell - so realistically I don’t want to be taking it at A Level, it will be more in-depth and probably even more boring! So this pretty much secured Computing for me. The other two (Law and English Literature) were always pretty much definite. I attended the February Newcastle Coll...

This week?s news saw the launch of a lottery to win a boob job. a) Is this wrong? What do you think? Yes I do think it is wrong, first of all, I can?t imagine many blokes will enter into the lottery, therefore it is a little one sided. Secondly, I think plastic surgery shouldn?t be promoted in this sense, I personally don?t believe in plastic surgery unless there has been an accident or something similar, where the person has no other choice and would be given a better quality of life. Therefore overall I don?t think there should be a boob job lottery. b) Would you enter? Nope, don?t think I?d look very good with a pair of boob?s lol. Like I said, the lottery wouldn?t really be aimed at males. c) What would you have given the choice? If we are talking about plastic surgery here, I personally wouldn?t have any at all, I was made to look like this and will continue to look like this. 2. Would you consider adopting a baby? If so would you choose the route favoured by Madonna and Angeli...

£200 Coming My Way :)
2007-03-03 00:39:04
I had a phone call last week on a private number, I don’t always answer these because I don’t know who it is. I’ve been answering these type of calls a lot more frequently these days just in case it is something or someone important. I answered the phone call with the man on the other end of the line asking for Mr. Dunn - that would be me! The gentleman continued to say that he was calling from 72 Point, to tell me that I had won £200. As you can imagine I was quite happy at this news! He asked me to confirm my address and my cheque would get to me in the post within 14 days. Now you are probably thinking, ‘how did he manage to win £200?’ Then I will tell you exactly how I won the money. I enter a fair amount of surveys on the internet. One of the companies I fill out surveys for is OnePoll.com, formerly 72 Point. Their surveys are basically short questionnaires about general day-to-day stuff. Most of the time their surveys are quite fun to fill out and...

Porsche 911 Owner
2007-03-03 00:39:04
Reading the title of this blog post you are probably thinking, where the hell did he get the money to buy a Porsche 911? Well don’t worry, unfortunately I haven’t bought a 911 (yet!). This post is just to tell you about a new website of mine which will be up and running in the near future. The website can be found at 911owner.co.uk. If you visit the website now, you will see that it is a phpBB message board system and it is currently in Maintenance Mode whilst I get everything tweaked and looking exactly how I want it to. Once I have made the forums exactly how I would like them, as you may have guessed, the forums will be primarily aimed at those who own or are a fan of the Porsche 911 . There will also be sections for those with other Porsche models and other general categories. There will be a post on my blog when the website is fully online and accepting registrations, so watch this space!

Sony Ericsson K800i (Review)
2007-03-03 00:39:04
As some of you may already know, I got a Sony Ericsson as a Christmas present. I have now had it for a few weeks and I have got to say, I am very impressed with this mobile phone :). First impression when you first pick up the phone is that it seems to be slightly bigger than my previous phone (K700i), but it is slightly more bulky. This seems quite strange at first, you expect it to be heavier than the K700i, but it is in fact lighter even though it is bigger. According to the box the phone came in the phone has the following features: Cyber-shot Phone 3.2 Megapixel camera with autofocus and 16x digital zoom Xenon flash with red eye reduction BestPic - pick the best, delete the rest PictBridge and photo blogging Music player and video player Bluetooth and high speed USB connectivity Memory Stick Micro (M2) support Stunning 262k colour screen 3G and video calling I will now go through each of these things described on the box and tell you about the features of each of these things...

What do you think of Kate and Pete? I am not entirely sure who this Kate and Pete is. If you are referring to Kate Moss and Pete Doherty, I don’t really like them, either of them. Pete is just an annoying, drug using, idiot and Kate seemed to be okay before she had anything to do with PD. What is your favourite magazine? My favourite magazine would probably have to be something like Top Gear magazine. I am really interested in cars and motoring. I never miss an episode of the BBC2 TV programme so I enjoy reading the magazine every now and then too. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May make up the best trio of presenters and write a feature in the magazine every month. What would be your perfect magazine? Don’t think there is such a thing as a ‘perfect’ magazine. Each magazine is good for different things - you can’t expect a single magazine to have everything you want in it as this would be boring and make it a very large magazine; thus making...
