A builder from Fareham went from being stranded on the motorway to "having his life changed instantly" when he won his dream car worth a whopping £106,000. 

David Lewis, 59, started his day badly when furnishings for a house he was renovating turned up broken.

The day went from bad to worse when his van "blew up" on his way home from work, leaving him stranded on the side of the motorway.

But sandwiched between those two disasters came a visit from BOTB presenter Christian Williams to tell David of his big win.

David has bagged himself a new Porsche Cayenne GTS in the company's Dream Car Competition along with £3,000 every month for the rest of the year.

He said: “Winning something like this has changed my life instantly, but it still doesn’t feel real.

“I was having a diabolical morning at work because two sinks that had been delivered to the house had arrived broken and had snapped in half. 

“On my way home, my work van also blew up, so I was stuck on the motorway until it was recovered. But do you know what? I didn’t care after receiving the visit from Christian and finding out I had won the magnificent prize.”

Featuring 500bhp, the Porsche Cayenne GTS is renowned for its impressive on and off-road performance.

David added: “I entered the competition to win the car, and with me being 60 next year, I don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to own one again.

“I test drove an old one a few years ago and hoped one day I would have one of these. I love the shape of them.

“When I get the car I’m just going to go on a long drive and I don’t think I’m going to want to get out of it.

“I’ve won a few sports trophies when I was younger, but nothing of this monetary value.

“The money will help to clear some debts. I might also use it to get my van moving again, sell it and buy a smaller one as I don't do the really big jobs like I used to."

BOT presenter Christian said: “It was so nice to be able to deliver David this fantastic news in person and put a huge smile on his face on what could have ended up being the day from hell."
