Billy in answer to your question he had 2 ZXR 750's with the little ditty on the reg and yes I think 1 was in the Benton race colors and the Nova you pointed out with the **** hot on it I have seen around Cheadle and at the Cheadle Royal pub when the Nova club meet there on the 3rd Sunday of every month. It looks like a Max Power convention and it's always good for a laugh.

How about dirty cars?

I saw a car on the way back from the fleet meet that was absolutely filthy with the words fingered down the door,

"I wish my woman was this dirty"

My friend suggested on for my car. I got it made up on a labelling machine, but didn't have the bottle to stick it to the number plate!

"Injection is good, but I'd rather be blown"

Perfect for our cars!!!

Hi,

I'm new to this board and own an Escort RS Turbo. I am not here to start any banter, or anything like that. I am a car enthusiast and like ALL cars especially turbo ones!! by the way, back to the writing at the bottom of the no. plate, my mates got "Kiss my RS" on his Sapphire Cossie. But unfortunately this is not the case as it's only got 224bhp and my 195bhp Escort beats it

hmm, been thinking bout a tagline for the beast.

Current thinking is to go with 'It's a SUBARU!' as the beast is debadged and quite a few people ask what the hell it is.

Other things could include:

* Yes it is quite loud, isn't it!
* WARNING! Channel Tunnel ahead!
* Beware of the Black Beast
*

I'm very tempted to go with
"I brake for tailgaters"
but I don't think any of them would be bright enough to get the message.

A couple of years ago I saw a brand new M3 Coupe with the number plate tag that read "Catch Me If You Can COPPER!!!!".

I can't think of many worst things you could put on your plate to **** the constabulary off can you?

Stu H, have you seen anything like this?

Have to admit to having an XR2i in my younger days on which my number plate note read

"NO, I don't know any better."


And on a Castle Tuned escort cossie once saw

"Peace through superior horsepower"

I had to laugh at an ad I saw when the Audi
RS2 turbo station wagon came out. Picture
the Audi sitting next to a log cabin at the
top of a mountain. The text of the ad read
'My other cars a Porsche, but today I was
in a hurry'.
