something that really doesnt get done anymore is painted writing on your tires....... mmmm nice ;D Whitewalls and lettered tyres are still easily available here. It's a trend that never really went away so you don't really need the tipp-ex pen things  ...I have white writing on my truck's tyres lol |

Was round my mate's dad's yesterday and he had just got a new set of those clip on sun visor extensions for his works van in green perspex.
Also remember inner door picnic tables you pushed into your window cannel (hunting for a set and can't find them anywhere)
Remember the pump up middle finger as well for people tailgating you ;D ;D

 Here's my first Viva with a Fat Willies window sticker. Also note the rear shelf speakers.  My Standard has an aftermarket roof mounted parking light. |

Once bought a white early XR3i at auction for the princely sum of £35 it had a silver go faster stripe along the length of the car with a large (2 foot high) fido dido on the rear quarter who was using the go faster stripe as his water skiing rope...
Drove it home and was amazed by how quick it felt, mind you it was nearly 15 years ago and I was a spotty yoooooof more used to driving my mums 1100cc fiat so it's all relative I guess..
MMMMmmmmmmm tastefulll
