Anyone else still using a freebie from a car mag .
Usually it was a sticker or patch but Fast Car gave these away .
I have used this constantly and it's been attached to various keyrings. It's now invaluable for opening ring pull cans as my hands slowly stop working like they used to.

Don’t have a freebie, but whenever a see a car with out standard black valve caps I recall max power or similar giving out free valve caps. They went on to react with the metal in the stem and a bunch of friends all had to get them cut off at tyre shops etc

Also the same friends at the time all got the free led washer jets - anyone else remember them, again probably 2000 / 2001

I remember the summer evenings, loads of people had them, they didn’t seem to last long as they probably were not very functional

I’ve not seen an illuminated washer jet for a while

I've still got plenty of tat that I collected over the years. Theres a bag full of stuff I found in the loft the other week but these 3 came to hand in a drawer just now. Can you remember what the Revs black item was supposed to be for?

This thread is already brilliant.

Used to love the free trinkets from Max Power, Revs, Fast Car etc. I had that exact same bottle opener for years.

I still have the Max Power CD's somewhere:
Max Bass
Max Bass 2
Max Volume 1
Max Power Ignition
