DavidB Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I know these would a little bit out of place on gangster Barry's financed 2016 Audi A3 TFSi (with the blacked out windows and sub woofer exhaust), but whatever happened to these and why isn't at least one person selling exact reproductions of these on ebay to the retro-community? If this van's rockin', don't bother knockin' ... hilarious 🤪 https://www.facebook.com/CheapClassicCarsUK/photos/a.102385475164704/218879976848586/ Timewaster, Alan_Green and Dick Longbridge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BL Bloke Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 When I had my first car back in 1979, a 1970 Austin 1300, I bought a 'Recycled Ferrari' sticker for the back window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Jude Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 They've evolved in to those white stickers, with quotes from Paul Walker and Colin McRae - which, considering the fact they both ran out of talent, you'd have to wonder why you'd want that on your own vehicle.

Inspiral_Mondays Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Mentioned on another thread, a mate of mine had a neighbour who owned a newish 924 back in the 80s. He adorned the back window of his wife‘s decrepit Shove-It with the legend “My other car is a Porsche”. Private Eye used to sell ironically funny* stickers at the time , among them “My other car is also a Porsche” and “My other car sticker is funny.

warch Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Not car stickers but my kids are currently into the latest rehash of the cartoon Garfield. In a vain attempt to appear relevant I told them about those soft toy Garfields with the suction cups on the feet which everyone used to have in the back window of their car.
