Wow, i never thought for one minute that any one would actually get all the cards, as for us, well, should we start worrying now???

Many issues at stake, do we split per card or each person gets an equal share, hmmm
I don't know, i don't mind as long as NMS gets something ;)

Well.. I dunno.. equal share? cos I got some of the other ones on the list too....Like :
Mitsubishi Evo VIII FQ-300
Chrysler Crossfire V6 Coupe
Marcos TS500 V8 Convertible
Range Rover
And Alfa....

:cool::cool::cool::D:D
heh...

[macblob]

equal share if we get them as ive got 18 of them in the house , just loads had been put down already hehehehe :D

How about equal share to everyone that contributed a card towards the 24 and an equal share to NMS as we couldnt have done it otherwise,
So divide whatever the car is worth between however many people gave cards and NMS.........should still be a healthy bit, I need some cash for a cooper s with BBR conversion hehehehe:D

[macblob]

Woohoooo looks like a split between perhaps 8 or so, incl NMS, just need that last card and we could have over 10k each yeeehhhaawww.

Im sure there has to be rules against this, but if one person submits and collects the car i cant see how they can refuse to pay out.

[Burple]

Hey.. that sounds like a spot on plan...
So in theory split it in 9 (?).. 8 for the original contributors and an extra equal share for NMS?? :D:D:D

[Gismo]

Having been in a similar position before this is what i would suggest, prior to getting all the cards ;)

For the record, i can supply the cards i nominated, everyone has to supply the cards they nominated, doubles of these cards are probably held by others as well, but, trust me, it will come down to who had what card etc etc etc.

Each person who has contributed at least one card receives an equal share of the overall amount, no matter how many cards they nominated.

I would be willing to collate the cards and do all the work to secure the money and dish it out equally amongst the relevant people, since no one else has offered, of course it will be at the discretion of everyone.

Lastly, we are not limited to those who have contributed so far, the missing card is yet to be found ;):):p

What do we all think, i'm away to fill up my already full tank :D

[macblob]

Im going to fill up on the way home , hehehehe, its a car we would win anyway, so an individual would need to pick said car up and then we would need to sell it and slit the proceeds........ but so far sounds good BS., im getting excitied hehehe , this could solve my problem , re what car to buy hahahaha

[Wul]

Well the shell website doesn't give any more clues to this being wrong - suggest someone picks up a copy of the terms when they fill up next:

What car would you choose?
25/02/2004

A super car is up for grabs in a new Top Trumps promotion at Shell service stations in the UK.


It’s a tough choice but one that will have to be made at the forthcoming The Sunday Times Motor Show Live by the winner of Shell UK Limited’s Top Trumps promotion that hits close to 1,000 forecourts nationwide from 26 February.



The winner, who will select the £100,000 Super Car at the show, has to collect a full set of 24 Top Trump cards that will be given away by Shell with any purchase of Optimax fuel (no purchase necessary – see leaflets instore for details). The structure of the promotion is such that there’s bound to be at least one winner, and possibly as many as three!



The promotion runs until 21 April, giving customers plenty of time to build up their collection of the 24 different cars, all of which will be on display at the show.



The packs will also include 100,000 invitations to the Motropolis Live Action Arena at the show, worth £7.50 each (entrance ticket to show still required).



John Rasmussen, Shell UK & Ireland retail director, said: ‘Top Trumps was one of the great games of the 70s and 80s, and our customers will love collecting and playing with the cards. The promotion that ran in the build up to the 2002 Motor Show was a huge success, with the winner driving off in a Lexus LS 430.’

I'm happy to go along with the equal divs no matter how many cards each person submits - and i don't want any extra for starting the thread either :D - Just as long as NMS get's a share to help calums suffering bandwidth etc!

[minidriver#1]

[Gismo]

If they don't offer you any, simply ask for them, usually they feel guilty and give you more than 1 packet

[minidriver#1]

cool. i'll try this tomorrow.

[Willie M]

Should hopefully manage to fill my tank a couple of times over the weekend, I'll see how I get on.

[minidriver#1]

got 2 packs today, but none of the 2 cars we still require :(

[Willie M]

I got 14 (yes, fourteen) packets over the weekend. Definitely no Jaguar XKR Convertible in them. I'll check at home tonight for the Maserati GT Coupe, not sure if it was there or not.
