I tell you what. I have two complete sets (bar the Maser) so how about me giving them to you in return for the Maserati GT card (assuming you get it) and this will then give you twice as much chance of winning the prize.

I think the point is..............

If you have the GT, then you have won...........

You can pick up the other cards in a day easily......

So no one would be silly enough to sell it!!!

Nope. I mean the Maserati GT Coupe. This is the "Trump Card" if you like for the whole competition - if you have this card then you've basically won it as the rest are easy to come by.

Anyway, it could well be a Scoobynetter who wins this given our predeliction for Optimax so what would you do with it?

Personally, if it were, say a GT3 I'd run it for a couple of months and have some fun in the Summer and then sell it. As much as I'd like to keep a car like this I'd get a far better return from equities or property.

It could be a few more than one or two, as i bet alot of people who are given a pack dont even bother to open it. Just goes in the bin. If shell do want the car to be won, they would have to produce a few maser coupes just to be sure.
Of course, it could backfire on them and a couple of dozen people get the full set

except they have a get out. If no one has the full set, they do a random draw of optimax purchasers from a selected station and they win - even if they aren't collecting the car.

So minimum one car WILL be awarded. If shell are unlucky, all 3 maseratis will get out and get sorted.

I'd have thought the internet makes this kind of draw more risky for them?

Surely if you find out you have the rare card, you just drive round all the garages putting 5 litres in until you have all the others?

From http://www.shelloptimax.co.uk

What car do I get if I win?
Winners can choose ANY car from the set of Top Trumps cards. The winning car will be selected by the winner. It is the winner’s responsibility to obtain the necessary insurance for the vehicle.

lol, don't want to think about insurance on a brand new Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Coupe.

When do I receive my car if I win?
Winners will be given two complimentary tickets to The Show and will be presented with their car at The Show. Winners must make their own way to the show – travel is not included as part of the prize.

They give you a £100K car but you have to make your own way there? Tight gits....

I wonder if they'll make the GT Coupe readily available after the promotion ends so we can finish our (multiple!) collections??

I don't expect to win, but at least my kid can be popular at school with a few complet sets to give to his mates

ah well I could but hope.......

seriously though if one of us won - the insurance would probably be so great we couldn't afford the drive the thing anyway....! I'd probably sell it and get a Noble

I have 21 out of 24 cards. How do I find out which cars are missing?
Is there a list somewhere? I looked on Shell website but couldn't find anything.
