Put £50 of v-power in a week and you get one iirc.

Yeah, even then its rare you will get it. A few of the high mileage R32 boys have them (as i would expect they get through more than £50 a week lol)

Thats cool! Must be a little more randomness than i thought. I was putting £40 a week in with the type r for ages and never got one!  :huh:

I've got one - about 10 months of points were stolen from it - no doubt by some crooked attendant.  I've never bothered with it since.  :angry:

I 've had mine for a couple of years now though. It's hardly a status symbol though is it?  My BA Exec club card comes out before that one ;-)

I dont use the R enough. I have put about 15 miles on it over the last month. Will end up being the lowest mileage one going in a few years  :laugh:

I would do a car swap mate if its mapped (only when its sunny please) I love the ED30. A guy on the R32 forum has an ED30 for his missus and he has an R32. Sounds like the perfect relationship to me  :laugh:

Yes... as Edition 30 points out, my wife has a Mk5 DBP R32 - only has 4k on the clock after 3 months and she wants to keep it that way after I did 3k miles in it in the first 5 weeks  :lipsrsealed:

I have one as well but hardly use v-power.  Mostly tesco 99.  Only took about 6 months to be 'upgraded'.

Had mine years, but the robbing bar stewards have put a 50% increase in to qualify for the monthly bonus points, now 6 fillups of over 30 litres in a month to get bonus points, used to be 4, so min 180 litres required to get £1.75 discount.........the card is a load of trash

Response from this Shell card aint positive in my view, don't think I will even bother,  probaly burn more fuel geting to a shell station than I would recieve in rewards!  :nerd:.

I got a V-Power card a couple of years ago before the 'Drivers Club' was outsourced to another company as it is now. Its massively gone down hill since then, although I still hand it over and get a few quid back every six months   :rolleyes:

Its ony good for those who use Shell regular or have a garage near them etc. I wouldnt ever go out of my way to get to a Shell garage. Luckily I have a Shell garage near my house, as well as near work ;)

Probably best to have several cards. I have a standard Shell card, as well as the Tesco's card, and I'll collect points on either depending on where I fill up.
