I have a nice Mk1 Celica shirt from N138

They are mainly Le Mans influenced but theres a few nice ones on there.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

yeah i must admit those N138 shirts are as about as appealing as any ive seen.

[pogweasel]

The designs on those N138 shirts are really nice, but the shirts they print them on are bloody terrible, really ill-fitting for anyone more than 8st... as the size increases, the shirts simply get longer. I bought one and I have worn it about 3 times, as underwear only.

Yeah, I too agree to some extent - unfortunately my Dad managed to get a free BAR/Honda polo shirt type thing a few years back. It's a bit spangly but it's good quality and I used to wear it now and again. Thankfully this was when I was driving Fords/Pugs. Now I drive a Honda. ? Definitely not.

This is one of a batch of vests we got for the infant ...

The original query of this thread is something of a paradox, it`s far too late to attempt to look cool, even in an ironic way, by wearing a t-shirt depicting a hayne`s cutaway of a Solara or whatever, remember a few years ago when easily influenced people were always wearing t-shirts depicting fictional small businesses? To give a relevant example, my fashion-following mate had one that said something like "greasy eric`s service station" or some such horseshit and had a picture of a `74 Mercury Montego or something up on ramps, and the print was made to look all old and weathered and all the writing was in a `70s font. Well to the man in the street, you would be wearing one of those, and he`d just think you found it on the floor of a rag mill, or won it at a jumble sale-cum-tombola, and that`s how cool you`d look.

I agree about the Haynes cutaway T-shirts, I've seen a few Mini ones about and I'm not convinced that they are cool.I'm starting to think that maybe car based T-shirts are not the best way forwards, I've seen a few BMW 2002 T-Shirt's and can't see myself wearing one, Maybe i should just stick to wearing cheesy christmas jumpers?!.

What can i say, i only have one car t shirt and yes its a haynes one, but its not a mini or vw camper one, those are reserved for a special sort of person.Id love a 70s BL or Ford one, but only if it were say, a print of an advert.... i dont see why clothing stores havent jumped on them, with this retro craze in full swing.We get retro album covers, retro cartoon charecters, retro company logos, but no retro cars.....

Alot of the Superdry stuff has that 60s petrol dude look...

I've only got one car-related T-shirt because as a rule, they make you look like a tool.Mine's a plain dark blue shirt, and then on the side (under the armpit, it's part on the front and part on the back) has a diagram of a beetle fusebox. Quite subtle actually.

I was wearing my Imp Club t-shirt at a party once and someone came up to me and said 'Cool t-shirt'. After i explained i actually owned a Hillman Imp and was a member fo the club, they just looked at me a bit wierd and walked away.

 

I saw a cool Haynes Hillman Hunter one at the VW Festival at Harewood house in the summer. It was a bit long so i did not get it. Cant trace it anywhere now. Gutted, i could have taken it up so that it was shorter, the actual fit was okay.*

 

*I could have paid for someone to take it up

Remember a few years back, when all the chavs had 'Von Dutch' T-shirts...? I toyed with the idea of having one made with 'Kenneth Howard' (Von Dutch's real name) on just to confuse people...
