The sign on the pump says collect all 18 and you win a £50k car from any stand at the motor show. Doesn't say "the chance of a £50k car".
Maybe there's only one 'card 18' in the whole country.

Just had a look and it looks like they have one rare card. They only have four of these (as four people can win). It will probably something like the ferrari or the TVR. They don't day though so you don't know if you may have the rare card or not.

Indeed there will be one card that is the 'winner'. I used to go out with a girl who's parents worked for shell and we spent a few hours opening a box of 'make money' cards which was one of their first promotions of this type (about 20 years ago !). We ended up with huge piles of one 'half' of each prize - it was very clear then how it worked.
We should be able to work it out easily enough - I've got -
Skoda 'Superb'
Celica
Corolla
MG TF160
Morgan Aero 8
Grand Cherokee

OK, I'll try to keep a running tally. I have:
Cerbera Speed 12
MG TF160
Morgan Aero 8
Lexus GS430
Skoda Octavia RS
Caterham R500
The bumph on the back of the leaflet says "Did you know you can play a game with your Top Trumps cards?". Like that's going to be a lot of fun with 17 cards or less (I'm assuming if you've got 18 different cards then you've got something else to occupy your mind
)

Ive got:
Tuscan S
Corolla T Sport
Lexus SC430
Lexus GS430
Maserati Coupe
Crossfire Coupe
Think the Ferrari is the rare one. Been 3 times since I got my scoob and this is the first time Ive been given the trump cards and its the time Ive spent the least (£23 instead of £36 odd).

Ah just seen that the comp only started on July 4th - doh! Is there any minimum purchase before you get given the cards? I know it says no purchase necessary but couldnt we just fill up with a fivers worth every day of the week to get more cards?
Si.

It does say "with any purchase of Optimax". I suppose it's minimum delivery 2 litres.
Last update for today (resized it to fit a bit better too). Ferrari is a contender, as is the Maser Spyder and the M12. Unless one of us has already got the rare card

My thoughts exactly -- it's entirely possible that someone may come close to winning (i.e. got one of the rare cards) but doesn't know it. Between the lot of us we must get through a shed load of Optimax. I'd like to see someone on here win it -- but it relies on people posting the cards they actually have

I've got:
TVR Cerbera Speed 12
Caterham R500
Skoda Octavia RS
Skoda Superb
Reliant Ambra
TVR Tuscan S
Looks like the rare one is either the Maserati Spyder or the Ferrari (I don't think anyone has the Spyder anyway...)
