Memorabilia Car Stickers

KPC · 12 Apr 2003, 06:18 (Ref:566998)

With all the merchandise available at meetings it always amazes me that there aren't any car stickers to be had. We get big foam hands and mints in manufacturer badged tins thrust upon us, stupidly priced clothing, toys, prints, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. But none of that is any good to me. I've bought the odd keyfob but all I ever want is a simple BTCC associated car window sticker. Is it too much to ask?

I was lucky enough to get a limited edition BTCCPages sticker sent to me in the post when a calendar order fell through as a sweetner and it is very proudly displayed... but a VXR sticker would go very well in my rear window.....

Anyone else got any ideas for "useful" memorabilia of our days out?

I've got an MG X-Power tax disc holder in my, er, Ford...

I've also got a few of the X-Power black stickers - Think the idea of them is to stick them on the outside of your car though I daren't!

KPC · 12 Apr 2003, 09:17 (Ref:567069)

Yeah, I got one of those.... stuck it on my locker at work as I kept on trying to open unmarked rows of grey doors nearby. As I think I'm the only touring car bod out of 200 officer's and have the only BTCC cup, I don't think anyone is in any allusion ast to whom it belongs to.... but I'd rather have a Vauxhall one myself.

Was a Ford man once upon a time myself, but after my Mark 3 1600 GT Cortina nothing else would do the job. So I became a Rover man briefly before discovering the joys of a Vauxhall... and there I've stayed.

I've got a 'Follow that car - Team Halfords' sticker. I think I got it from Croft.

Now that I've actually got a car (!), I'll be on the look-out for more car things.

You can get giant foam hands? I've never seen those!

runny does it actually have to be an "official" window sticker? You can get window sticker paper for most colour inkjet printers and we've had some fun creating our own window stickers with those!

I know that you can get X-Power Windscreen stickers for your ZS....

Except I'm not going to kev my ZS180 up at all...

fantasytoca · 14 Apr 2003, 17:35 (Ref:569244)

You can get car stickers from certain web sites if you know where to look

redshoes · 14 Apr 2003, 17:45 (Ref:569259)

What sort of thing are you after? If you don't mind things not that current I could probably source some AA.com/BFGoodridge door number panels, tocatour number plate stickers and the like.

Nigel, that sounds like an excellent contribution to the prize package on offer to the winner of the forum's prediction competition...!

PS Any chance of a tocatour.com number plate sticker for my car? I have to go into the congestion zone later this week and it could be useful...

redshoes · 14 Apr 2003, 18:07 (Ref:569281)

You do realise that if you drive around with a tocatour.com sticker over the numberplate you're likely to get stopped by the old bill. Just ask a certain BTCC team manager who got pulled over at Knockhill last year.

**Craig** · 14 Apr 2003, 18:15 (Ref:569295)

Really? I thought that it was quite normal to Barry your car up to make it look nothing remotely like a touring car. There's a quite bizaare Primera which turns up at some BTCC races covered in stickers which, I think, are supposed to make it look like the old Team Dynamics Nissan. But it failed miserably! Sorry, did I just go off on a rant?

sceptic · 14 Apr 2003, 18:17 (Ref:569296)

Given the number of speed cameras between Knockhill and Edinburgh, can you blame him for tying though?

AdamED · 15 Apr 2003, 22:33 (Ref:570595)

there are too many

KPC · 30 Apr 2003, 11:18 (Ref:584848)

Well, I'm back from Ireland at last... racing and family things were to be had and have moved house too.

Anyway, wasn't Mondello totally depressing on the merchandise front? All I bought was a MP golfing umbrella to keep me dry... first umbrella I've ever owned in fact, but my camera was having difficulties.....

I was given an MG leaflet on about 60 occasions though and even found back-ups on my windscreen just in case I hadn't enough!!

Excellent track for spectators isn't it!!

kmchow · 30 Apr 2003, 16:08 (Ref:585242)

I think there's a market for such stickers as sponsors, door numbers,etc.. and the like. It's too bad organizers aren't willing to sell them. OTOH, do organizers want such stuff being sold outside of the track????

Perhaps, it be bad PR if some kid with a tocatour door number sticker street races and kills someone?

Les · 30 Apr 2003, 17:45 (Ref:585345)

I miss not having the little car sticker - have about 3 years worth on the car now.

Griffin · 30 Apr 2003, 20:20 (Ref:585573)

I too would love some VXR stuff to go in my first car (a Vauxhall, of course!)

Who was on it? Tony Blair? Ian Duncan-Smith? Paddy Ashdown?

The thing is Car Stickers are good, but they cost money too. Would you want to pay for a BTCC related Car Sticker? If so how much?

I am looking into a project to produce some Car Stickers, Tax Disc Holders and other bits and bobs. But it all comes down to cost.

SPARK Msport · 3 May 2003, 18:01 (Ref:588608)

I have a few Audi A4 Window stickers if anyone wants one??? I have a picture of it too, so e-mail me if your interested! When I say I have a few, I mean a few!..e-mail: sparkxracinguk@aol.com and please make the `subject` car stickers.

Why not do a poll? I would obviously be interested. As I said in my opener, I got a BTCCPages window sticker when a calendar order fell through in 2001 and it proudly sits discreetly in the back window of my Cavalier. I also have a Brands tax disc holder but would gladly swap it for something a bit more touringcaree. A couple of quid a piece is reasonable. Keyrings and all the usuals would be good also.

Now, I am of an age and live in an even older house, that does not allow for lairy posters. Discreet is what I like. For example, I solved the age old autograph problem at Mondello by getting the drivers to sign a Bank of Ulster £20 note. I now have it framed and hanging and it looks fine and dandy. It's also a shame that the available merchandise is limited and the manufacturer clothing costs an arm and a leg... which is fine if you can afford it without rsorting to going without food for the month. So window stickers, keyfobs, etc, etc etc would, I should imagine, find a market. Did the cups do well I wonder? I have two and my bruv has one that goes black when not in use. Umbrellas, there's another one. Anyone any more ideas?

Personally, I don't see the point in paying somebody for a product that's advertising their site/services etc. If there handing them out free (like MG did to me) then fair enough, I'll use them.

touringcarnut · 7 May 2003, 20:56 (Ref:592850)

I've still got about a dozen Egg hats from Donnington last year.... I wouldn't pay for them though!

**touringlegend** · 7 May 2003, 21:29 (Ref:592904)

I know what you mean. I'm frigtened it rains and they fall to bits...nothing compared to a good Team PSP cap
