Lucky DJ Wins Kumho Car Competition

Lee Hoggett, aka DJ String, was the winner of a £20,000 Hyundai Coupe in a nationwide competition organised by Kumho. Kumho UK managing director, Steve Tidmarsh, presented the prize at the Huntingdon Performance Tyres of Godmanchester – the ECSTA centre where Lee Hoggett originally entered the draw. The car, a top-of-the-range 2.7 litre V6 model was fitted with 18 inch Mille Miglia EV-R alloy wheels.

When Mr Hoggett first heard about the win he thought he was the victim of a hoax: “I was convinced it was a wind-up. I was just outside my flat at the time and I kept expecting Jeremy Beadle to jump out from behind a lamppost. I’ve entered quite a few competitions but never won anything and it was only when I arrived at the presentation that I truly realised I’d won”

Mark Dunn of Huntingdon Performance Tyres commented: “This competition generated a huge amount of interest amongst our customers and really helped to promote the Kumho brand.”

Congratulating Lee on his win, Kumho’s Steve Tidmarsh commented: “We were so pleased with the success of Win a Car that we’ve decided to do it again in 2005, but with a rather different top prize. I would like to thank our national distributor, Micheldever Tyres, for their support in making this promotion so effective throughout the ECSTA Performance Centre network.”
