Funny this topic should come up so soon. I've literally just painted this onto the side of my slammed nasty ratty caddy (banded steels obv ftw)  Took it for its MOT on monday, it certainly got a few raised eyebrows, my favourite was a cyclist at some traffic lights, at first he was reading, then saw his face turn to wtf is that and then finally curse word his pants laughing. Going to add a few more funny bits on down the side of the pickup bed, not sure yet what to put, probably "our business, your pleasure" etc.. Love it. :-) forgot to add, my friend has "district puffin house & apery" down the side of his escort van, when i first saw that i had a good chuckle. |

Some of those are brilliant, I like the 'So Wit' Thames especially, that joke would work in Inverclyde too, we have that sort of accent as well. ;D It's a good idea this comedy signwriting, it's not something I've done much of, although in the Imp's last roadgoing incarnation it did have a "How's my driving - Dial 999" sticker in the back window, but I don't know what I've done with that, might make another one for it. But that's about it. In a on the working motor theme, I know a guy who had an old Granada hearse, which he kept on old coffin in the back of for full on-duty effect. That and so that one of his mates could put on a black suit, get in the coffin, and then 'escape' while the hearse was at the traffic lights or otherwise stopped in public, much to the horror, confusion then amusement of anyone watching. ;D  |

Same again, no pictures, but the drainage company we use at work used to have the slogan, "your sh*t is our livelihood"
(it had the full word but swear filter wont let it post it)

 The SAS panda. Not a fake, it's the garage runabout at Sacriston Auto Services. |
