BBC Children in Need Auction 2008

Ready, Steady, Get Bidding!

The official Pudsey online auction is now live and Pudsey is getting very excited indeed! There are so many amazing things up for grabs and many have already had some fabulous bids.

You can get hold of James Bond's watch!! Mr Bond himself, aka: Daniel Craig kindly donated his personal watch to be auctioned for BBC Children in Need which is amazing! So, get your martini at the ready as one lucky winner will be as close as possible to being Bond himself!

You can also get the chance to bid on a fantastic experience with the Stig, which involves sitting just centimetres away from him in the passenger seat as he whisks you around the Top Gear track!

There's over 200 items altogether so there is something for everyone, in fact there's too many to mention here, but here's a taster of what you can expect to find!

=========================

Don't know if this has been posted yet but if you have some disposable income, forget spending it on some beater car.

Bid on these great items and donate your money for a good cause!

A lap with The Stig... :love:

I'd so buy the lap with the Stig if I was a millionaire and had money just lying around

Unfortunately I don't :(

There's so many millionaires here on Beyond, I'm pretty sure they can donate a little bit of their money to hitch a ride with The Stig! And if you do 'purchase' one of these items, can you claim it as a donation for your income tax?

Hopefully it'll be one of those days where they test out a Ferrari and not a Daewoo or something.

As far as I know, no. Any donation where you get something back isn't tax deductible.

I wonder how they can conceal Stig identity.
