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 meant "Westminster" - oops!

If I see those stickers in the pub carpark I always check who the driver is and if they've had a drink, ring the local plod and ask them to breathalyse them on the way home!

Great idea whomoved! :)

Mind you, they're above the law don't you know?

Right, Im bored of being thick. Explain the darwin fish for me....

I would like one that says

"noone on board - driven by telepathy"

or

"please don't distract the assistance dog"

Kreecher If you really want a sticker with dds name on it go onto ebay and do a search, they can make up any name :) If you click on the link then look at the other shop categories there should be some on that shops site.

Thats where I get my car stickers from Grin

I just sold a Galaxy with these on it

and yes I got more for the car than if they hadn't been on there Grin

The funniest one I saw said "Work harder! Millions on benefits are depending on you"

Very bad taste but it did make me giggle.

I do have a faith but have never been able to bring myself to have a fish on my car, it makes my teeth itch to even consider it and they're often bad drivers I find.

We had a car round us which had 'Porn Star on Board' which I actually found rather offensive, especially as the driver had at least one youngish daughter.

teaandcakeplease · 24/09/2010 20:53

Most stickers do irritate me. Especially the pixy dust one. YABU.

The worst I had in my car as a 17 yr old, was fluffy dice Grin Never stickers.

teaandcakeplease · 24/09/2010 20:54

YANBU I meant to type. My DCs early rises are catching up with me. Better give up and go to bed....

We were once nearly wipd out by a car driven (too fast) by a woman with a fag in one hand, mobile phone in the other and a 'Protected by Angels' bumper sticker Hmm

Sorry - bit off topic - but the one about "my other bumper sticker is funny" reminded me of my favourite ever t shirt slogan (on fat bloke carrying pint at festival) "my other body is a temple".

As you were. Great thread.

PfftTheMagicDragon · 24/09/2010 21:45

I want an "I brake for Morrissey" sticker

kidsncatsnwine · 24/09/2010 21:58

Monkeyfacegrace.. the Darwin is a humorous take on the christian Icthus.. the fish . The fish was an early symbol used by persecuted Christians trying to identify each other.

The Darwin version has little legs, symbolising evolution. I have had one on my car for years:)

EcoLady · 24/09/2010 22:01

monkeyfacegrace The Darwin fish are a direct counter to the Christian fish symbols.

I quite fancy a Flying Spaghetti Monster one!

BoojaB · 24/09/2010 22:11

Pfft, I would even parallel park for Morrissey! Sigh...

electra · 24/09/2010 22:15

Last week I saw a car that was sporting the words 'I'm not drunk, I'm avoiding potholes' - crazy imo

thederkinsdame · 24/09/2010 22:25

Just think... if it wasn't for all these car stickers and extras you can get (furry steering wheel covers - always seem to be present in fairy dust cars) then Halfords would be a corner shop rather than a superstore! Grin

I've just had a thought. Mumsnetters could have stickers saying 'powered by fruit shoots' then we could all give each other waves and knowing looks!

Feeling rather childish as I'm laughing so much at that KickArse Grin
