I kept asking 'why does everyone have stickers of that fellow from the Bee Gees'. This is Al Pacino from Serpico, who fought police corruption, there's a bit of police corruption over there. Also this one, not sure what it means, but I bought a few: Also this one, which was just as popular! https://www.gregtodiffer.com/meanwhile-in-bangkok-weird-vehicle-stickers/ I was going to explain a few of these but workload has made me forgotten to, sorry. Serpico was a popular movie back in the day and yes it resonates pretty well during the tumultuous 70's, although these day I doubt most who have them on would know what it's from or who he is anyway. The second sticker is usually found on emergency vehicle. Our healthcare system is unique in that a lot of ambulances operating on the road attending to accidents and other emergency are not the usual employed workers you'd expect but a group volunteers usually runs by charity organisation. This means there's very little typical regulation in place and the vehicle they use are provided by the volunteered drivers themselves and not fleet run by hospital or whatever. This means a lot of driver will modify their emergency vehicle to make it more personalised. This is where the sticker originated. Of course we have typical ambulances too, but those are rarer and respond only to medical emergency, heart attack and such. Not accidents. The woman removing panties? Not a clue.

Missy Charm Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I once saw a car with a sun-strip labelled 'me', on the driver's side and 'me bitch' on the passenger's. Unfortunately, on the occasion I was present, 'me bitch' was the ten year old boy sitting in the passenger seat. People don't think these things through.

Missy Charm Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Oh and another one: a woman driving a clapped out Audi with an 'I love my Audi' sticker on it. She somehow had the appearance of someone who really did love her Audi because she had no other joys in life. I felt quite sorry for her. warch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProgRocker Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 In the mid 1990s as a new driver I procured one of those yellow diamond signs on a suction cup. It had a diagram of the front of an angular looking car and the caption: "Don't f**k up BACK UP!" It did the trick as I got tailgate less in my '79 Mini. I also remember buying a Kenny from South Park in 1998, a bit like the Garfields from a few years earlier. AnnoyingPentium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl1981 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Father in law has a good one on his S111. ”support your local bartender… helping ugly people get laid” he’s had the car 17 years, sticker was already on it and already a sticker with some vintage when he got it!

The ones you see that are soberly liveried and sans light bars are usually used for ferrying bodies between the morgue and the funeral home etc...

warch Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Neither 70s or 80s but I was most amused to know that car stickers were doing the rounds back when Adolf Hitler was still a painter and decorator.

skoda_fan Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I bought a wodge of stickers pronouncing "My other car's a Skoda". This was meant to be ironically mimicking the "My other car's a Ferrari" stickers that were often seen at the time. At the time I was buying up virtually every rear-engined Skoda I came across (those were the days) with a view to saving them. I thought it would be ironic/hilarious* to stick one on every car as it would be true. I stuck one on my Rapid, decided it just looked naff, and never used the rest. I think they are still in the loft somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
