A TRAINEE anaesthetist admitted he felt numb when he learned he had won a £19,000 car.

Jean Yves Bideon, from Bolton, took home a top-of-the-range VW Golf V5 for coming first in a competition run by a motor supermarket. Jean, 37, who is French but has lived in the town for five years, said: "To say I'm shocked is an understatement. It couldn't have come at a better time as I'd written off my own car and was desperately in need of a new one." The competition was run Motorpoint to promote its new online car buying and search service.
