The thoughtless people who stick extra bits of plastic on their vehicles have never done a littler pick, you find these and all the england/football flags all along the hedgerows. where do they think they are going to end up?

I saw some for the first time last summer. Dd and me found it hilarious. There's a pink car with eyelashes outside Dd's school everyday now and we have a giggle everytime we seem it. I think it's funny.

My first car was called Peggy. My second car was called Gordon. By my third car I had stopped being a wanker grown up and realised cars do not require names Wink

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 07/12/2012 21:43

YANBU. That is all.

FeelingFestiveCheerMum · 07/12/2012 21:44

I don't see how having a sense of humour and giving my car a name makes me a wanker, "YeahBuddy"

HairyGrotter · 07/12/2012 21:45

I do

Startail · 07/12/2012 21:45

DD2 say's cars can't talk and that you can't hurt their feelings Confused,
Personally I'm not going to risk it.

BRANdishingMistletoe · 07/12/2012 21:46

I have ivy growing over the bonnet of my car. Blush It is very, very cute and has made me quite popular with the kids at the DC's school, and a bit less popular with their parents because the kids keep asking if they can have stickers on their cars. Grin

LST · 07/12/2012 21:47

Hairygrotter you sound delightful Hmm

FeelingFestiveCheerMum · 07/12/2012 21:47

Really, grottier, do tell.....

AgentZigzag · 07/12/2012 21:48

I don't mind outing myself at massively (privately) hoiking at the person whose car has 'powered by fairy dust' (with fairies) (or powered by fairy farts we used to have near us on a car), bees, lady birds or eyelashes.

If their car reflects something about them, I can't help wonder what they're trying to say to the world? Something on par with the 'manchild' so talked about on MN?

BRANdishingMistletoe · 07/12/2012 21:49

Would you like me to put a picture up on my profile so you can sneer at it. Wink

HairyGrotter · 07/12/2012 21:50

I've never tried to be delightful, would be a terrible shame if I were Xmas Grin

Are you one of those 'zany' 'crazy' people who lack personality so have to make up for it by putting 'look at me' shit on their inanimate possessions to 'project' something that is of worth to others?

FeelingFestiveCheerMum · 07/12/2012 21:51

Hmmm, well, my car having antlers at Christmas says to the world that I am a fun loving, festive person, rather than a dried-up, mardy old cowbag. Though, of course, I would never say that as I wouldn't insult someone by judging them like that...........

AgentZigzag · 07/12/2012 21:53

I wouldn't put ivy in the same league as eyelashes or fairies Bran, it's pretty festive this time of year Grin

I nearly crashed my car because I got distracted by a car with eyelashes.

AgentZigzag · 07/12/2012 21:54

Don't know why (and it's not because you're on the thread and here FFC Grin) but antlers would be OK as well (not that my opinion counts for much or is a benchmark).

HairyGrotter · 07/12/2012 21:55

I don't need to put random shite on my shit to project 'myself'...If that makes me mardy and dried up, happy days Xmas Grin

LST · 07/12/2012 21:56

Yes hairy I must be and you therefore the type you call a 'cunt'

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 07/12/2012 21:57

I think eyelashes are fun! There are a lot of very bad tempered looking cars out there who would benefit from a set! Grin I want a set for my work van. She is called Veronica or Ronnie, depending on where we are working.

BikeRunSki · 07/12/2012 21:57

There is a Mini with eyelashes that parks at the top of my street occassionally. Always makes me chuckle, YABU. DS likes it, but he's only 4.

But "Powered by Fairydust" wtf is that all about?

FeelingFestiveCheerMum · 07/12/2012 21:58

A young boy and his nan came up to me in the car park yesterday to ask about my car, I told him she was Ruby the red nosed reincar. He was delighted. Hairy, if you ever see my car, please feel free to fuck off to the other side of fuck won't you, wouldn't want you to enjoy a moment of whimsy

HairyGrotter · 07/12/2012 21:59

The moment you see me enjoying a moment of whimsy, I'll be happy to fuck off to the far side of fuck. Merry Christmas ha
