and a "powered by fairy dust".... that you probably shouldn't be driving as you clearly are about 5 years old?

I was behind a black Nissan Micra, with all that shit on the back of it and the above slogan, and I think I saw some hideous pink ad fluffy things inside the car. And even better,she had her name on the back of the car, under the Nissan logo.

Actually she is probably a NMer or a Bountyhun.

I quite like decals if they are nicely done, but I don't like bumper type stickers with their heavy handed attempts at humour. I think it would be quite amusing to put flowers on my pick up truck! I don't think dice, windchimes, lots of toys are a good idea because they could be distracting to the driver. But really in general these things are a point of interest to my day, so why get peeved by it?

You live near me, I know the car. Makes me laugh everytime I see it.

It's like a warning for shit driving

It's the 'born again' christian fish things that worry me. I don't want to be driving near someone who doesn't fear dying!

I have a friend who is a teacher- she owns the most yawnsome silver focus- but then for some reason known only to her she did the whole powered by fairydust thing she claims she can tell which silver focus is hers in the school car park she also used to own a lime green scenic covered in weird flowers

Another frind has a bumper sticker "cleverly disguised as a grown up" I like that one. I have nothing as i refuse to have rhino's humping or the like on my spare wheel, my car is boring

There is one where I work, everytime I see it in the car park a tiny piece of me dies.

Ds1's teacher has a bronze new style beetle.
It has a sticker of Paul McCartney in the back window, eyelids on the front lights (to match the body colour), an insect type springy thing on the aerial and a huge white Gerbera by the steering wheel.

I like that.

I had a pink pink flower in the vase inside my Beetle - is that okay? I did consider a couple of flower stickers on the outside too for a while - but didn't go there.

I did see a wicked ladybird decal on a car this weekend. I think I'm weakening...

Not really the same thing, but there's a car near me with a baby-on-board type sticker that says EX HUSBAND IN BOOT. I'm not sure what I think about it.

Eve4Walle · 21/09/2009 06:41

There's a Ford Ka near me done up to look like a ladybird. Not too bad.

But also saw a custard-yellow beetle yesterday with big black flowers all ddown each side and on the boot - it was hideous. Also with a Baby on Board sticker which matched the colour of the car!
