www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2010/jan/04/top-gear-trading-cards"Top Gear is seeking to extend its grip on the nation's consciousness with a Pokemon-style trading card game aimed at children and young teenagers. Top Gear Turbo Challenge features 276 cards to collect. The cards include ratings of cars reviewed on the show based on "speed", "toughness" and "coolness" and quotes from the presenters along with links to online games." "aimed at children and young teenagers" My arse. Happy trading, everybody! ;D

That's so cool... I wonder if there'll be a Captain Slow card.
If so, I have a feeling it'll be a similar story to my childhood: when I used to trade any ANY pokemon card for a Pikachu, even if I already had that Pikachu... I bet I swaped some real rare cards for those multiple Pikachu's... oh dear!

I have a confession to make... I have spent £7.50 on TG playing cards... just to find the James May cards  (I figured out it'd be cheaper to buy the first issue of the Mag that comes with two packets of cards, wich is £1.50: rather than buy 1 packet for £1.50.... ) So I do have double the ammount of cards for my money... but I only got a couple of James'... I got James May's sailing boat car. And James' Alpha Limo.... and a few James May based cards 'James gets lost'...and 'James does things properly'... I want a shiny James  Now Im going to have to find a child who buys these cards to trade with, Ill give them any card, for a James card! |
