A couple of days ago I noticed a car with a bumper sticker on it. The sticker looked like a Spanish "Toro de lidia". What's the significance? ISTR seeing a few of these around. Have you seen any others which have meaning, rather than being decoration? Reply to this message | Report message

I'd rather be on two wheels. Seen on the back of a family hatch with a female in the other front seat and two kids in the back. Reply to this message | Report message

Hm. I didn't really mean "logos", more the pictorial things, like the Spanish bull. Reply to this message | Report message

I thought the black bull on a car was the regional sticker for Malaga. Maybe the driver is from there ? The Catalunyans have a donkey or red and yellow flag on their cars. My favourite sticker and T-Shirt logo is: Sell my bike ? I'd rather shove wasps up my backside ! Last edited by: Webmaster on Fri 23 Apr 10 at 01:05 Reply to this message | Report message

I have what, at first glance, looks like the Christian fish symbol on the back of my car. On closer inspection, the fish has little legs and the word 'Darwin' inside it. An accurate reflection of my beliefs which made me smile when I first saw one on another car. Google 'darwin fish' if you'd like one. Reply to this message | Report message

Members of the Traveller Communities use the fish logo as well....mind you a lot of the Irish Travellers are devout Catholics. Reply to this message | Report message

I absolutely hake that sort of joke ! My Scenic came with a fish on the tailgate. A raised plastic one about 5 inches long. It was a total pig to get off. It brought some of the paint off, even using a warm air gun. I cleaned up the area and put a Union Flag sticker over it. It was still on when I soled it ! Ted Reply to this message | Report message

Ted, that's the type of thing I've got but with the legs and Darwin in the middle. Lord help the next owner then! By the way, I don't believe in cod, but I do think that religion has it's plaice. Thinking about it too much does give me a haddock. I suppose I should stop carping on and get back on my perch. Reply to this message | Report message

I understood these fish with legs symbols to be obtainable from the Darwin awards website - in case you haven't heard of them these awards are given to those who have contributed to the human race by removing themselves from the gene pool in strange, peculiar and I have to say often quite funny ways ?

saw this one the other day "Oi, watch my backside not hers". Sorry sir for going into the back of you sir, I was reading your sticker and got distracted. Last edited by: Webmaster on Fri 23 Apr 10 at 01:05 Reply to this message | Report message

On the non-standard very substantial front bumper of one of our local double deck buses it says "He who dares loses" and I for one wouldn't like to put it to the test! Reply to this message | Report message

I'd love to put that on the front of the buses I drive. Don't think that my boss would approve, though... Reply to this message | Report message

In the mid-eighties the next door neighbour of a mate of mine had 2 cars. One was an Astra driven by the wife of the house, and on the back of this car was one of those stickers that said "My other car is a Porsche". The other car in the household was ... yes, a Porsche 924. How sad is that? Reply to this message | Report message

"a Porsche 924. How sad is that?" Very, given that the 924 was powered by a Volkswagen van engine. It would be great to have a Porsche just to be able to stick on the bumper 'My other car's a Skoda'. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Sans Serif San Serif if I remember correctly. Best April fool joke I can remember, one up to the Grauniad... must have cost a bit too, with several cutting spoof advertising-supplement editorial-input pieces of the sort we were all quietly ashamed of when we quietly took the dictator's peso and churned one or two out, eh droptop? Hope you are well by the way. Last edited by: Armel Coussine on Sun 28 Mar 10 at 16:16 Reply to this message | Report message
