Did you get it in the mail? I remember last year we got a 2004 Holiday game map in the mail. Guess I better make a trip out to the dealer this weekend to see if they have any in case I don't get one in the mail...Not that our dealer ever has jack.....

I didn't get it today either. I'll check with my dealer later this week. Donna, if you don't get one I will have you covered.

The MOTORING CITATIONS are in the December 2005 issue of Maxim between pages 144 & 145.

We got ours on Saturday; and Donna you're on the right track it's along the same lines as the game board they sent out last year.

I've updated the list a bit, but still no scan of the 3rd Grab Handle ad.

I also added a few new magazines to the list at

I received my packs today and opened one up






So do you not play "Snap!" in USA?

what a great thread!! I went out and bought Metropolis for the Imag-a-MINI stencil...Now i need to go back out and look for the Motoring citations! I've collected a lot of the previous ads by picking them up at the local dealership, had no idea there were so many other ones to collect!
This is one thread I'll be sure to keep checking!

Hiya ssallykat - yep - great thread! The Motoring Citations are a bit harder to find in the non-subscription magazines. Some of us end up on Ebay to find things... Welcome aboard - it's VERY addicting... and FUN!!

I have spent the last week looking for Metropolis mag. No one around here seems to sell it. Any other newstand mags have the Template?

Try Tower Records too... when I phoned the publisher they said Borders, Barnes&Nobles, Tower Records often carries them.

I purchased a pack of these cards a few months back on eBay for 99 pence plus shipping. I think it ended up costing me about $4, all told. They are pretty cool. I couldn't find another pack during a recent eBay search but I expect it is bound to re-appear...

Got mine last week. I haven't been around this thread in a while, and to be honest I have been slackingon my ad collection. Just haven't had the time, this semester has been kind of hectic. Will def try and catch up over the winter break.

Thanks for the new sources. When you all post your finds, can you please make sure you include the issue date and the page numbers. Then I can update the list completely. Thanks! James

Not new, but I finally got my hands on one, thanks to my bud George!
A little twisted and a strange find down here in the Carolinas, no not George - the sign
