martybabes Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Well, that's what it used to say on the back of the car. I noticed yesterday that the "T" had dropped off, ne'er to be found, and, on examining the "O" next to the space where once the "T" sat, it came off in my hand (ooh-er Missus). The others were then liberated from their places with little or no resistance, and they then found their way into a cup of warm water containing a squirt or two of Fairy liquid. If the T ever turns up, I can rearrange the letters and re-attach them to the boot to say "FART ON USA" (which somehow seems appropriate given the possibility of there being a large Trump in the White House) but sadly my current preference rests with SAFRON, and pop the unused "U" into storage. That would make the car's badging unique, I believe. No vehicle in the history of motoring has ever been called a safron, shirley? So, what am I to do? I am open to suggestions (excepting sticking them where the sun doesn't shine).

Dick Cheeseburger Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 I rebranded my mk1 Jetta after hacking a couple of mk1 Golf badges and gluing it all together. It was thereafter known as the 'GoGetta'.I also had a 'Buggery bollocks' sticker covering the dealer name on the number plate, but that's another story.
NorfolkNWeigh Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Once upon a time there was a Reliant dealership in Dunstable called 'Dunstable Cars' . There was more than one Regal,Robin or Rialto around here that someone, presumably the owner given that the sticker was inside the back window, with the ends of the sticker scratched off 'unstable car' .

AndyW201 Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 A good few years ago, there was a Seat Malaga (told you it was a while back) around our way with the rear badges arranged to read 'Slag Meat'. KruJoe and Supernaut 2
PhilA Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 If you buy a Tiguan badge you could use the letters you have to make A NAG I OUTRUN. LUNAR GOOF or perhaps LOAN OF RUG if you use a Golf badge. Volkswagen use silly letters in their car names. Phil

Inspector Morose Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Moons ago, when I was a young impetuous lad of not so many years as now, we bought two Alexander bodied Seddons from Lowland Scottish for our bus service. Along the side, in individual vinyl lettering, was written "best bus in the country" Didn't take long.
