As stoked as Eva Harkness was to win Ucol Whanganui's "hand on car" competition, she was also upset for her nearest rival.
Seventeen Ucol students began the competition at 7pm on Friday, with contestants placing a hand on a car outside the Whanganui campus with the last to take their hand away winning the car.
Harkness won the competition early on Sunday morning after two sleepless nights when she was the only one standing after 38 and a half hours.
Her prize was a 2005 Ford Fiesta from Wanganui Motors which she was presented with on Tuesday afternoon.
In an act of kindness Harkness has decided to donate her old Toyota Corolla to runner-up Heather Leeves.
