have stickers on their car saying 'powered by fairydust'?
It is not cute, it is not ironic, it is not even amusing. It is baffling and slightly odd that a grown woman would choose to drive round in a car that looks like a four year old has chosen to modify it.

I want a 'Does my bum look big in this' sticker

CatIsSleepy · 24/09/2010 13:39

oops was only meant to preview that not post! meant to say this is what the wheel-cover looked like...except more lurid colours...it was quite striking Grin

avrilHeytch made me split my poor lip laughing(I have a cold sore ).

poor taste I say but funny with it.

I saw a fluffy "babe on board" sticker in a pink, girly Ka with flowers on the boot.

I just had to see who was driving it to see if, in my opinion, she was worthy of calling herself a "babe".

Sidled up alongside her at the lights to see a Vera Duckworth lookalike - DC1 and I were like Shock

YABU! I think I will be in a minority here but I love those stickers, they are so cute! The powered by fairydust ones are some of my favourite ones. I like quite a lot of those car stickers though, and those I don't like I don't actively dislike, I just tend not to pay any attention to them. Oh and yes I am secretly 4 years old Grin growing up is optional!

I hate anything stuck on a car that isn't a functioning part of it. If I'm behind a car that has so much as a smelly christmas tree dangling from the rear view mirror I want to drive into the back of it at speed.

And if it dares to have vanity plates...Biscuit

Avril Shock Grin

I'm wondering if I can get one made up for my car - powered by wine and Pringles. No hang on, that's me not my car...

Clarabumps · 24/09/2010 14:32

I cant stand those stickers..i saw one that had "orgasm donor driving" it was a tubby 30 year old nerdy looking guy driving..i laughed so hard i nearly crashed into the side of him.
must have been really obvious!

Its always some 18 stone female darts champion thats driving the powered by fairydust cars. the ones who,at 45,still thing pigtails are a good look with a pink velour primark trackie.(i've got a velour trackie..but its for hungover days of lying on the couch while ds's jump over me.Thats my excuse!)

"I think she must be driving it for a bet or as some sort of humiliation-based community service."

My dd1 would think yabvvu as she loves the bright pink minivan that always parks near her school - complete with 'powered by fairy dust', tinker bell transfers and stars all over it - but then she is 4 (my daughter that is) Wink

Ages ago we followed a pink car with a "Babe on Board" sticker, pink furry accessories, sparkly bits...you name it, it had it.

Anyway when it pulled up in the car park the women who got out were not your idea of a Babe, more of a female heavyweight wrestler type shall we say.

DP muttered something about the 'Babe' referred to on the car sticker as meaning the variety in the film of the same name ie a pig Shock

Geocentric · 24/09/2010 14:52

OneFish that's brilliant! Waaaay too many Christian stickers over here (Catholic country, though...)

In my yoof I confess to having had a sticker that read "Be cool, be bad, be chick". Shock Hmm

(do I get chucked out of MN now??? Grin)

miracled · 24/09/2010 14:52

BLBL I'm with you on the christian fish. I did hear that people try to aquire then so they won't get stopped by police, cunning.

Surprise · 24/09/2010 14:53

There's a car in my village which has a sticker on the back window, placed on the diagonal (and not quite straight) which just says "up your beaver". Every time I see it I'm stunned by how bizarre and revolting it is.

ethelina · 24/09/2010 14:56

Ooh i like the Darwin fish. That will totally piss my sister off. Excellent Grin

The only sticker i allow on my car supports Kent Air Ambulance.

Everything else is Not Allowed.

TiggyD · 24/09/2010 15:11

I saw a car with a sticker that read:
"I brake for unicorns, elves and pixies and other creatures that only I can see"

deemented · 24/09/2010 15:22

I once saw one that said 'Jesus loves you.... but everyone else thinks you're a cunt.'

Tasteful...

mollyroger · 24/09/2010 15:30

''fuelled by fairy dust'' bleurgh. A neighbour near me has this one. She is a woman of a ceretain age with Too Many Cats..

overmydeadbody · 24/09/2010 16:09

You can buy little sticker feet to stick on oher people's cars to change their christian fish into darwin fish Grin

I have a ratted up car, with hundreds of stickers in the rear windows, but no silly pink stuff.

kidsncatsnwine · 24/09/2010 16:26

I have the Darwin Fish (with legs..says 'evolve' inside)
and came back to my car in Sainsbury's to find that some irate Christian had stuck a post it note under my wiper blade with,

'Darwin is DEAD Jesus is ALIVE!' on it. Grin I kept that post it for ages as it made me smile....

mollyroger · 24/09/2010 16:34

hahahahahaha that is INSANE!

OrmRenewed · 24/09/2010 16:34

We have a sticker that DS got from the local wildlife trust opposing the proposed badger cull. It says 'Killing Badgers Doesn't Work' which makes me ROFL for some reason.
