I'm collecting. It sounds from the rules like there will be one or two "rare" cards. A bit like a Golden Ticket" in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If I win, I will take my Grandpa Joe to the Motor Show to claim my prize. Oh no, I can't do that. He's dead.

Seeing as I've got the Cerbera, doesn't that mean all your cards belong to us

My local Shell garage doesn't seem to be participating in this - I haven't seen any mention of Top Trumps anywhere when I fill up.

This is Basingstoke, Hants, BTW.

I've got the Ligier Ambra (Reliant): I'll play my 85mpg card please

[trefor]

Got my first pack of 6 last night - I think I've got the Ligier, Speed 12, TuscanS and 3 others.

Is there a minimum Optimax expenditure to get the cards? If it's say 20 litres I think I'll just fill up more often ;-)

T/.

Got ten of the set so far - none of the rare ones though. Every time I get Optimax, even from different petrol stations I have had to explicitly ask for the cards. Maybe they are tryign to keep some to give to their mates ???

Don't think its that much, as the bike only holds 15 liters. Its probably > £10 worth.

[mhibbins]

My bike takes 11-12 quid to fill and I always get cards. I couldn't find any mention of a minimum amount but I suspect they will soon get pissed off with people buying 5 quids worth at a time

[JonRB]

Are the Shell stations that you're getting these cards from advertising them in any way? I can't see ANY mention of them in the Shell station I use and I don't want to look like an idiot by asking.

[mhibbins]

Posters all over the place, leaflets on the counter... stuff like that.

[nubbin]

I've only had 2 packs of cards so far, and got 12 cars! Just waiting to buy more Optimax and I should have all of them - and my last pack was obtained just by telling the garage lassie that the rules said "no puchase necessary!" I'll check what I've got, and see about swaps etc.

Hmm. In that case, either my garage aren't participating or they haven't got all their posters out yet. I'm due a fill-up soon, so I may pop out at lunchtime and see if they're doing it yet.

My step-son uses "Seats: 5" on the AutoCar Top Trumps pack so often we've had to ban it!

The get!
That's like my neice with her Antonov transporter's "range : 13,000 miles" winning my 3000mph Blackbird! Not fair! Not playing anymore!

Submission for the oddest top trump set ever seen... Frogs.

I kid you not, I wish I'd bought it.

Tongue length: 3 cm
Fly capacity: 40 a day

[jeremyc]

Just got more Optimax and added to my 'garage'.

The list keeps expanding: there are two Skodas (Superb Elegance & Octavia RS).

Anyone want to swap a Speed 12 .

[petercam]

I filled up a petrol can with optimax (1 gallon size) and got a pack of cards. Also I've seen The Simpsons top trump cards !

[Nightmare]

I've got the Buffy set! and 'the worlds dullest planes - ever' as a present many moons ago
oh, and HOW difficult is it to find the locations of Shell filling stations on their website???????? or am I just Cap'n Numpty??
