Optimax Cards

[andyhart21]

Does anyone else collect the Shell Optimax car cards?? Just thought that if anyone did, they could bring them to JAE and try and get a complete set. If you collect all 16, you win a Ferrari! I have loads and loads (including about 6 Lexus SC430's)

We could sell the Ferrari and all buy Superchargers!

ps, for anyone already with a supercharger, an alternative prize of Haribo sweets will be offered

I have:-

Ambra, Caterham R500, SC430, Corolla T Sport, Cerbera Speed 12, Tuscan S.

Any advances

I've got quite a few, I'll try and remember to bring them to JAE Andy. I guess there will be one card that is impossible to find, and its whoever gets that one that will win.

When I fill up with Optimax I never get any cards do you have to ask for them or should they be givern automatically ?

[ricky_is200]

You seem to have to ask. I filled up a couple of times and they didn't mention it then last week they did (which is the first I'd heard of it so picked up a leaflet to find out more). Then yesterday filled up and had to ask. Maybe the attendant was trying to keep them for himself!

[ricky_is200]

Apparently its the Ferrari 575 card thats the winner. Anyone got that? I have seen 4 figure offers going round for that card.

Don't know if this Q has been visited b4 or not so I'll tag on the end of this instead of starting a new thread - but does anyone notice any major difference in Shell's Optimax?

I have some friends in GOLF 1.8T GTI's who say they notice an increase in performance, and in some cases an increase in MPG's! I tried it for about a month in my old 200 Sport with no noticeable difference? Is it just me?

I haven't tried it in the SE i have now, mainly cause i only bought it this month and saving every penny till pay day counts!!! :P

Andy,

To be honest I filled up with it for the 1st time when I re-fuelled last, and I can't say I noticed any difference!

It's my first time of using it since I got the car 2.5yrs ago, so will try about 3 more tank's full. At the moment the MPG seems to be the same.

I try to use Super as much as possible - I get an extra 10% fuel economy - or could that just be that I use it for the long trips?:saint:

I've got 11 of the cards, plus another 7 - I have 2 Tuscans going spare if anyone's interested, plus the caterham, both the Skodas, but I can't remember the others.

It'll be just like Lunch break at school with pannini football stickers.

Got...Got...Got...NEED....Got!!:bounce:

Hi Andy,

I tried it in my LS400 as I was going on holiday and nedded to fill the tank right up.

I Think I got less mpg than I do on normal unleaded, I needed to refuel a lot sooner than I would normally have done when going the route I usually take. I was glad of the Nav unit for locating a fuel station nearby. (There are not very many on the North West Coast of Scotland). I have not used Optimax since and I don't think I will again. :P

put some optimax in the car tonight before i went out to play wit the ladies. a women that comes in my shop works there and she gave me 9 packs of the cars. i had 7 cards already and out them 9 packs there was only 5 cards i needed.....

[Grangey]

Just filled up on Optimax, for the first time - FIFTY QUID!! It's 77p per litre at the nearest Shell, whereas I normally pay about 72-73p per litre (admittedly for supermarket stuff). It'd better be good!

[sholao]

Did you remember to ask for the cards?

[Andy.thomas]

I take it no-one has the ferrari card yet then?!?!?

I've heard of 5 digit offers going round for that card now! Guess its still alot cheaper than buying one!!! :smilegrin:
