Milford Cubicle Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Not to kick off a debate, but that t-shirt is one of the wankiest things I've seen this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I didnt think it was too wanky, could have been a lot wankier I reckon. I wouldnt wear it, but then if you like cars, wearing 'car clothing' is difficult territory to avoid looking like a cock. A good AS T-shirt would just have a picture of an SU carb or Waxoyl applicator, A-frame or some such, no words or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryoldcortina Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools it's either that, or My friend went to Autoshite and all I got was this lousy T-shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt wear it, but then if you like cars, wearing 'car clothing' is difficult territory to avoid looking like a cock.I was once weating an Imp Club t-shirt and someone came up to me and said 'I like your T-shirt, its really cool'. They changed their mind when I explained I actually owned an Imp and they just looked at me wierdly and walked away. In all fairness, it could have just been for owning an Imp.

In all fairness, it could have just been for owning an Imp.This is the trick with car clothing I reckon, if you had no interest in cars, then wearing an Imp Owners Club T-shirt would be extremely cool. However if you love imps then wearing one marks you out as a bit of a sad case IMO. But how does anyone else tell the difference anyway? This is the eternal quandary of car apparel.

Station Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Or just For every.... WILL U TAKE £50 M8 COLLECTION 2NITE Some of those AS t-shirts comments are hilarious! How about going to Oxfam and getting every single item of torso clothing in there and just printing it on them.For example, a 70's tweed blazer, an old beige bri-nylon shirt, even tshirts with old prints on could be covered up. Those RR quote t-shirts are cringeworthy-tastic. "For every ... Buying all my clothes in All Saints". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look a bit daft walking around with a Haynes manual cover on your shirt, but a cut-away diagram would be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Very popular with veedubbers and OSForders, whenever I see a customer wearing one at work it is invariably "VW Type 2" or "Ford Escort RS2000" or some other shit. Personally, I think they look like cocks, although at least the ones Mrs Trig bought are quite Autoshite. Do they do a Maestro one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milford Cubicle Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 You're alright, I have one too - but I think it'd be a lot better as a simple cut-away diagram. http://www.tshirtgrill.com/details.aspx?ID=1486&CAT=8 This t-shirt would be excellent but for the awful 'PRINCESS 1975-1982' in Impact font borrowed from a 2005 Channel 4 sketch show.

dollywobbler Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Actually, I've just sat here in the office and had a look at my own T-shirt. It is just the cut-away diagram sans actual book front cover, so looks like I'm maintaining my position as office fashion god after all. FASHION - I CAN HAZ IT!

Angrydicky Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 This is my favourite T shirt of all time, with yours truly modelling. When I saw this beast in a charity shop I had to have it!

Alexg Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 I have a few car Tshirts, a Cut-a-way A series Metro (not haynes), Metro GTI Challenge, Trabant, Hesketh Racing, 'Holdern Racing Team' x2 (gift from oz) Porsche 917 etc etc. Problem is, unless I'm working on my car or sat at home I feel like a bit of a berk wearing them. I also have a wicked retro 1970s Dunlop racing jacket in Yellow, it looks the tits and I paid a fair price for it on USebay - never worn it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I have a bunch of car shirts, including Capri and A40, and wear them all the time. I also have three coats with various truck insignia on them (ERF, Foden, Mack) but when do I get to wear a coat here? Actually I'm being unfair there, there are about three months of the year when a coat is useful... I also have sweatshirts from Cadillac Owners Club and American Auto Club North West. Again, they get little wear here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
