“Get in,” he said, buzzing with excitement. “I’m going to have to take the rest of the day off - how will I concentrate?”
The 51-year-old, who’s been playing BOTB for years, said he liked ‘everything’ about the Golf.

David paid just £1 for his ticket to enter the competition where he won the wheels which boast almost 300bhp, it also has a seven speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox.
But it wasn’t just the car the father-of-two scooped in the competition as Christian revealed a huge £15,000 in cash waiting for him in the boot.

David is father to Hannah, 20, and Dominic, 18.
“Of course some will go to the kids and the rest will go in the bank for now until I have time to gather my thoughts!”
But this isn’t the first time David has won big after a £10 bet won him £40,000 at Royal Ascot in 2019.
