saucedoctor Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 We sold SHIT loads of those beaded seat covers back in the (very) early 1990s. I'm not exagerrating when I say we couldn't hold out to them. I remember waiting at the wholesalers in the van for them to get them in. Pretty much half filled our miserable Escort 1.6D van with them. Funny enough, someone asked me about them last Christmas!
Tetleysmooth Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Any cabbies? Those poxy things used to pull the hairs out of the small of my back. Full marks to you people to owning up to having a Garfield AND putting pics up of them.You're seriously warped. trigger 1
barefoot Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 ^^^^ they did a triangular one to hold your sandwich too!I've seen pictures, but I could never find one to buy.
Mr Livered Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Those poxy things used to pull the hairs out of the small of my back.How does that happen? Through your clothes, or do you drive around with no shirt on? (better not tell Junkman, if so)
brickwall Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 ^ I'm just going over to the grumpy old man thread to make a post about something you just reminded me of
brickwall Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Forgot about these: Custom wheel covers I saw a 4x4 with a pic of what I assume was their children printed on it. Gross.

Tetleysmooth Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 How does that happen? Through your clothes, or do you drive around with no shirt on? (better not tell Junkman, if so)Noooo. I'm six foot three, and could never find tee shirts etc long enough. They used to ride up while I was driving, hence leaving the small of my back bare. Is there something we should know about Junkman, by the way?
barefoot Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 It's a bare fore arms thing with him, the height of rudeness.He'd go apoplectic if he saw the small of your back. vulgalour 1
Tetleysmooth Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 It's a bare fore arms thing with him, the height of rudeness. He'd go apoplectic if he saw the small of your back. Oh right. I'll remember to wear a onesie if ever we meet up. overrun 1
overrun Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 It's a bare fore arms thing with him, the height of rudeness.He'd go apoplectic if he saw the small of your back. If I ever see him, chances are high that I will be wearing a fugging t-shirt.I shall then stick the vee's up. I wonder how he proposes a man should attire himself when in a warm environment? Maybe he is one of these vest/shirt and tie/suit/overcoat at all times folk. AKA: The elderly. Junkman 1

Rover414 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 What about this simple yet fine* addition to your 300C? brickwall, saucedoctor and Junkman 3
CortinaDave Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I'm a Louver fan as well : I have them fitted to my Cortina .. I like the look - its a personal taste (or lack of it) choice [/url] overrun, fordperv, vulgalour and 2 others 5
barefoot Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I've got one on my 1303 too.It is hidden in my garage and I can't find a picture of it
Station Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I bought two of those plastic cup holders. My missus of the time refused to use hers, but I still have mine five years later and follows me in every car unless it has a cup holder.The amount of times I have gone over a speed bump and have the f*cking thing detach limply from wherever I have decided to hook it, followed by a full thermos cup empty it's contents of magma all over my lap, I've lost count. I've looked for another one, but they all seem to be cheap, shiny plastic crap with plastic chrome trim all over it. Given it won't attempt to scald me on every journey, but have yet to find a cup holder that looks as shite and non-garish as 'hooky'. I also have one of those centre brake lights that I've put in a few cars, and also a digital thermometer (with the sensor on the end of a cable that runs outside the car) that I bought in about 1993 and found recently in my mum's loft, which I had in my mistertwo during the winter.
overrun Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I also think they are piss-cool. Loved mine, me like. Mr Lobster and Shep Shepherd 2
overrun Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 The Auto Taser! My dad had one of these. I remember it claiming to be legal if you displayed the warning stickers.He tested it on himself just after purchase, it certainly gave quite a belt!
trigger Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 My local motor factors is still a bit old school with it's stock and yesterday i spotted a beaded seat cover on the shelf for sale, I was tempted for a moment but the seats in my car are far to comfy to be spoilt by wooden beads.
brickwall Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 I was always tempted too but my sensible side kicks in luckily.
