I know it's a bit naff, but it still gets a laugh from me every time. It's brilliant.

I really hope I live near you, ITCould. I never even knew such things existed.

I saw a bright yellow one with eyelashes about a week ago, I looked at the driver expecting to see a twenty something girl; but it was a middle aged bloke... It probably did actually belong to his twenty something daughter, but it looked bloody odd.

Dh would get a taxi rather than drive a noddy car and so would I

I saw a car with eyelashes a few months back. It made me do this face... Grin

miffybun73 · 03/10/2013 21:36

Cars with eyelashes. Really? I've never ever seen them Shock I would have thought that I'd have noticed if one drove past.

Stoppicking · 03/10/2013 21:38

When did cars lose having a garfield stuck to the back windows?

sara11272 · 03/10/2013 21:40

My DTDs love eyelash cars! There are a couple near us that we see quite often. One has pink butterflies painted on it too, which makes it even more of a thing of wonder in their eyes Smile

5madthings · 03/10/2013 21:40

Nope, I love them and would out them on our car, dp however will not hear of it :(

TiggyD · 03/10/2013 21:41

YABU.

Sad
LittleNoona · 03/10/2013 21:41

We have one near us with pink eyelashes, and a diamanté strip as upper eyeliner!

Donkeyok · 03/10/2013 21:43

Na I see one every morning on the school run. Its Barbie pink too. Yuck

drawsofdrawers · 03/10/2013 21:44

YABU they are AWFUL.

KenAdams · 03/10/2013 21:45

Someone near me has them along with a "powered by Fairydust" decal. It looks unspeakably shit.

BrokenSunglasses · 03/10/2013 21:47

The 'powered by fairy dust' stickers are undoubtably shit.

The eyelashes however, are awesome.

My personal absolute hate on this theme are cars with poppies attached to the bumpers, especially when they are left on way past November..........

AKissIsNotAContract · 03/10/2013 21:50

There's a car near me with bollocks. I'd rather have bollocks than eyelashes

Earthworms · 03/10/2013 21:51

I want a 'powered by an exothermic oxidising reaction' sticker as an antidote to the fucking fairy dust ones

ClockWatchingLady · 03/10/2013 21:51

I hope they soon install giant mascaras for them at carwashes.

That's just gone on my 'must have' list.

But the eyelashes are shit of the highest order.

(but yes the fairydust thing is a bit weird)

How can bollocks work? Do they drag along the road? That's almost as impractical as actual bollocks on actual men (ridiculous design).

I saw one today. I thought it looked rather silly.

I am rather boring about cars though. I just see them as a functional method of transport to get me from A - B as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Shaky · 03/10/2013 22:05

Every time I see a car with the "Powered by fairy dust" sticker on, I mutter "No it bloody isn't, it is powered by petrol, like everybody else's car... mutter... grumble.. mutter..."

I hate the eyelashes thing too.

I am grumpy.

PossessedPollyPumpkin · 03/10/2013 22:08

This is sort of off topic, but does anyone remember a thread where a Mner secretly put powered by fairy dust stickers on the back of her dps car ?

When ever I see a car that is powered by fairy dust it reminds me off it and I have a little chortle.
