OK, First post but i think its really worth it!
Came across this ad in one of the Mining Monthly magazines, and it states you can get you very own FREE REMOTE CONTROL HUMMER .. No strings attached :)
Tried it, and just got my lil R/C hummer delivered to me :) (takes about 2 weeks to get it though.. )

Steps:
*Go to http://atlascopco.com/rcs/
*Click on the "Get your car" link right below the picture
*Fill in your postage details and answer a few questions based on the product (answers in the brochure which can be downloaded there as well)..

Voila! All done.. Enjoyy!!

EDIT::
Campaign Code: " MINING MONTHLY MAGAZINE "
Contact: AD
(thats what i put anyway and got my free r/c hummer :))

Update:: Looks like the link has been removed.. the quota of free r/c units might have been reached. :(
To all the ppl who got it.. give it 2 weeks.. to all who didnt .. better luck next time :)

    Not sure if it will or anymore, but you can still locate the "get your car" page via Google cache, and still submit the form (I just did and it gave me the success message: "You will soon receive your radio-controlled mini-Hummer. Thank you for your interest."). Here's the cache link (if it doesn't work, just search for "http://www.atlascopco.com/rcs/getyourcar/" on Google):

    http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:yDpyEuO…

    It appears they deleted the link and the form, but forgot to delete the form processing page. I doubt I will get the RC car, but who know!

    • flipstardirect on 26/11/2010 - 23:59

      Damn, they fixed the form on me :(

      "A problem occurred while capturing your information.
      Please try again later.
      We are sorry for this inconvenience!"

      Oh well.

      • DVDGuy on 27/11/2010 - 00:17

        I just submitted another one (dummy submission), and it's still working. I'm using Chrome browser by the way, if that helps. Also, the problem may be the Captcha code, so just click on "Generate new words" to refresh it to see if it helps.

        Probably not worth the trouble though :)

      • hchaminda on 27/11/2010 - 00:18

        Hi Thanks for the deal and web cache details. Just now I was able to complete the submit. Hope I'll get it.

    I was doing it on thin client at work so maybe the captcha wasnt working due to flash?!?

    Was there 2 words as I was just making words up but still getting confirmation message.

      javascript i think.

      yep 2 words, alot of the time one of the words isnt (a proper word) english

      • StewBalls on 27/11/2010 - 10:27

        like I said NO DICE FOLKS - hot off the press - not sure what website they referring to though :P

        "Underestimating the power of social media

        To our shock our RCS campaign recently and suddenly received a massive and overwhelming response. False campaign codes were published and advertised on the website www.ozbargains.com.au. Initially we sent out a few remote controlled cars to enquiries generated through this site without checking but, when 1000s of responses came in we had to take action.

        Genuine codes were sent out to our customers and potential customers. We hope you can appreciate that we cannot send out thousands of remote controlled cars and we are sorry that we cannot accept any other codes than those of genuine origin.

        We are sorry to inform you that you will not be receiving the radio controlled car. As a small token, your email has been placed in a draw for one of five model Pit Viper drill rigs and five model ST14 underground loaders which are collectors pieces.

        When you filled in your questionnaire you may have provided your contact details, please be assured that we will not be using or keeping your details on file.

        We apologise for any inconvenience and any ambiguity on our website.

  • Xanthorrhoea semipl… on 10/12/2010 - 18:37

    Anyone know the Genuine codes for it? Just curious.

    • vibezoner on 10/12/2010 - 18:49

      Well.. in reality there are no "genuine codes" . The way i came across it and posted it, was seeing it in Mining monthly Magazine. A full page ad, where it mentioned, " fill details and claim your free hummer!" Did it, received my hummer and then went on to post it :)(Never had any codes..)
      If they can put an ad in the mag, wouldn't they expect atleast a 1000 to respond??.

      Well, An awesome first post for me, bringing an entire ad campaign down to their knees :)

      Next stop.. some other big wig mining companies throwing away their stuff " cautiously"

      Stay tuned ;)

    lol at people thinking they would actually get it. I think 90% of us knew we wouldn't ;)

    My cousin got a similar one of these (RC Hummer) for one of our nephews and I think they retail for around $150.
    So say these guys can get them for $100. With 4000 people trying to get it, you think ANY company would spend $400,000 on sending out gifts to people who have no connection to the mining or oil industries.

    Unless your name was Andrew Forrest, none of us were going to get near a free RC car.

    BTW, from the tone of the email, it seems like some people will receive the hummers (lucky bastards) - pls let us know what they are like
