I remember when I was a nipper in the 80's, there was a wealth of curse word car accessories available. There's even more now but there's loads you no longer see.
Please feel free to copy and paste the list then add to it!
1. Bonnet Splats
2. Fake fingers trapped in boot
3. Keep your distance stickers
4. Mooning man (The one's you pumped up + trousers came down)
5. Road Rage Key Fob sound device. you were supposed to fire them at drivers to prevent road rage (Circa 1989)

Karobes Rally Seat Covers. These were just like normal seatcovers except they had enormous bolster rolls on the sides of the squabs/seatbacks to look like pukka 60's style buckets. Smooth black vinyl bolsters allied to perforated vinyl centres meant these things actually looked pretty cool. In about 1975, Mum had them in her 1100-powered Mini van along with the previously-mentioned clip-on headrests.....and yards and yards of stick-on quilted vinyl (only people of my age will remember that stuff)....and a proper Madadash with LOADS of 52mm gauges, none of which actually worked.
Edit: I wrote this just as Speedman was posting the advert above. SUPERB!!!!
;D

I had fake fingers on my Mk 2 Escort estate in 1989. I had them on the bonnet of my mk1 cavalier about the same era. I had a 'splat' on it at some point too. |
