OPTIMAX CARDS!!
 

I need the following cards to complete the set, let me know if you have them!!

Ferrari 360 Modena
Audi RS6
Noble V12
Jaguar XKR Convertible
Maserati GT Coupe

I have the first three of those cards but what puzzles me is the reference to the Maserati GT Coupe. On my game card it statest that you need to collect the GT Coupe but on my Trumps card it refers to a Quattroporte. Are these one and the same thing?

Different cars. The GT coupe is the rare one.

I got some of these when i last filled - quick question, is there a minimum purchase? Or can I pop in every day and stick a fiver in and get a new set???

Bedhog...

AFAIK It's a 'no purchase necessary' promotion. Otherwise, ie if you had to buy the cards, it would be classed as gambling. I'm not a lawyer and would like some clarification on this myself from someone who's in the know, but as far as I can see, you are perfectly within your rights to walk into the petrol station and demand a pack for nothing. I fill my van up daily with shell deisel, and most folks behind the counter will hand over a pack if asked, but some (Lock Lane Castleford, are you listening? Miserable tw@s) refuse point blank, saying that they have to log each sale, blah, blah.

Sounds like bollox to me, and is probably illegal to refuse.

Any legal bods out there?

I know they're only top trumps, but it's the principal of the thing

Sticky (23 cards, one to go)

Cheers I'll go get some tomorrow....

Obviously, like anything, they will hold back one card then release it right at the end..... Still worth a try, some lucky begger will presumably win.

gt coupe here for sale

3k gets you the card
let me know .....

I've got the GT, so I'm willing to buy all the other cards for a fiver.

F
Get real :rolleyes:

sticky.....
23 FQ 300's more like!:p
which one is it you dont have??

I don't know which the key car is but apparantly there are only three cards with it on in the country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

need 2 Maserati GT Coupe + tvr350c
2nd set only need 4 so have most doubles

Maserati GT Coupe is the rare 'key' card ... I just got a complete second set (bar the GT) within 2hrs so it goes to show the rest aren't hard to find :(
As to people asking about minimum purchases, demanding packs for diesel etc. ... if you bother to read the promotional leaflet it clearly states the following:
All you have to do is drive round filling up with the minimum of Optimax your local Shell station allows (usually 2 litres ~£1.65) and you can get a pack of cards. I am fortunate in that I have 7 Shell stations within a 10 mile radius of where I live. This is how I managed to collect the entire set (bar the GT) within 2 hours. Worryingly some of the attendents are starting to recognise me now and ask how I'm doing :D
Finally on this merry rant: anyone offering a GT card for sale etc. is either a liar or a fool (you can pick which) ... if they truly have the card then it is a simple matter to collect the remaining ones and claim a 100k car which they could then drive or sell and reap the cash reward.
Remember: If it seems too good to be true then it probably is.
On a final note: good luck guys, I wish you the best of luck finding those elusive Maserati GT's!!

I get a few packs when I get in.

It's called charm. ;)

I get 4/6 packs a fill up.

it's called being a greedy guts ;)

And if some of you bothered to further read the promotional leaflet, you'll have noticed that you don't even have to purchase Optimax but can simply write to the address provided and get Shell to send you some cards.

:rolleyes:

I too now only need the GT coupe by masserati as Shell Edinburgh blessed me with three missing cards in one pack this fine morning :) and it was in a hire rover from the airport, how sad am i wasting good optimax in a rent-a-wreck :) !

True ... but that costs you a second class stamp each time, you can only send one per day, you can only receive one pack per request *and* you don't get an excuse to drive your Scoob :D
As to getting multiple packs per visit ... how much flirting was required with the attendent to secure the extra packs?? I'm not that committed ... yet ;)

Mikk. First off, at just over a year old with 38k on the clock I tend to look for excuses not to drive the Scoob. Secondly, flirting with some hairy arsed Indian bloke for a pack of cards is beyond my commitment levels for Top Trumps.

Optimax is good, but it's not that good.

:)

LOL ... obviously sir you are not cruising the better Optimax watering holes :D
Personally I agree about Optimax not being that good ... but who'd say no to a 100k car?? Damn those marketing analysts :mad:

Has anyone got the free entry to the motorshow card?? :cool:

Yup

What £100K super car is it that i can claim when i produce my Massarati GT Coupe card along with the other 23 cards? :D
Do i have a chioce of cars?

smurfy.
