What's with the cards handed out when you fill up with Optimax. How many in the set ? Is it a competition to win a car or something ? Can't get into the advertised site www.sunday-times.co.uk/dreamcars to get any info.
I've already got a Lexus RXSE-L to swap. It says ... "Beautifully built, with a great image and a sumptuous cabin, it's the ultimate off-roader for people with no interest in going off-road" Right !

I think that if you collect all 24, then you win your dream car (I guess there are one or two real rarities in that set of 24).

I was very pleased to get the T350, although less impressed with that other well known 'dream' car, ubiquitous with schoolboy's bedroom walls... the Volvo XC90

Haven't got the Tiv yet but did get the Noble M12 GTO, the Jag XK8, Morgan Aero 8 and SLK 55 AMG. Is there only the one TVR model in the set or is the Sagaris included ?

Why don't we all club together to see if can't get a set and then split it?

Nah, too much hassle and not going to work

That'll teach me to type out loud

Loooong day!!

Are these the same cards that they were giving away a couple of years ago, when Optimax first came out?

No, the last couple of promotions have been Top Trump cards the new cards are the same size but just have a review of the car. I suppose everyone will get 23 out of the 24 AGAIN. I don't know if anyones intersted but i think the bloke that got the full set could pick any car he wanted of the cars advertised in the pack and he picked the £50,000 LEXUS instead of the £100,000 Ferarri or Aston Martin. DUH!!!
Here www.carpages.co.uk/lexus/lexus_winner_comes_up_trumps_24_10_02.asp?switched=on&echo=540420134
P.s. Does anyone know which one is the rare one this time?

Pick up a leaflet in the petrol station and it lists the cards…. Also notes that the maximum value is £60,000 and IIRC you have to choose one of the cars from the cards... *
