If you had just recieved two sticky stickers in the post for your car, where would you put them? Top of the rear window? Bottom? off center???

I thought top, but I just can't decide weather it looks straight or not, untill someone told me Rent a Dent DennisN is an authority on the subject.
Well sir what do you think then?

Close up!


I'm thinking it's about right, but if it's not, I've got another one (with full permission) just in case, although because I'll be getting a new Audi within 12 months or so I'll need one for that (and I don't know whether the next show will be before I get it).

Just copied and pasted to MGI Photsuit, drew an unfilled rectangle along the line of your cars roof and the bottom the the sticker. Found to be almost perfect but your cars roof line slopes slightly to the right. Or maybe your nearside tyre needs some air. Razz

The right hand side is slightly higher than the left hand side. Laughing

Your nearside brake light is faulty. Wink

You failed to acknowledge that you were driving at the time of this incident. Rolling Eyes

I'd get a new Audi now instead of waiting 12 months Twisted Evil

I'm happy with this conclusion, I just needed a keener eye, or Photosuit, to tell. And I think you were right about the tyres. Wink

As for Gps-Fan, if you saw all those faults from these two pictures, then you're either psychic or crazy.

I waited through two postal stikes for these, I'm not about to just throw them away, besides they were free, and I am an apreciative sort of chap.

Not another damn Audi getting on the road? Go buy a flamin' Reliant Robin!!

So now we're having a competition to find really interesting places to stick sticky things onto?

How about this megga exciting place?


Personally, I think I'll be putting my spare sticky thing over this memento my windscreen picked up of my delivery to London yesterday.

So the £60 glass excess took care of the £65 for the delivery. Crying

Wow! What a shot! I mean the momento. Could use it as a target for all those black golfs you had problems with.


On your reg thoe I can see, K, & N. I will figure out the rest when I put the rest of this interesting jigsaw puzzle back together. Very Happy

The suction mount for the new Sat Nav must really have some power if it did that to your windscreen Wink - Mike

White Van Man complaining about an Audi - flaming cheek Wink

Is that number plate legal Twisted Evil

...but you still worry about speed cameras with that encrypted number plate Confused

Was your windscreen already broken, or was it the weght of your TomTom hanging off it that broke it?

....or perhaps another low flying deer Rolling Eyes

Do these stickers make you go faster?
Or do they advertise that you could have a GPS gadget to pinch?

Jealous i haven't a sticker, but not sure about putting it on the car.

Where else can you put it - where the sun does shine? Confused
Suggestions on a postcard please to mostdom, first prize, his soon to be redundant Audi, with a slightly flat nearside tyre. Laughing

Where do you get K & N from? How do you get K & N? Simple old pensioners can't even see that before it's unjigsawed. The rate you're going, you'll never get my reg number (sorry Mike - #).

As for the rest of you all's comments, I wish I'd never bothered. I got zilch sympathy for the pheasant and the deer, why should I expect sympathy for a flying bashing thing? I am strongly tempted to edit ALL your posts to say something really nice about me, then lock the thread for posterity. Very Happy

You're a White Van Man - you should have broad enough shoulders to take these jibes Wink

I'm disappointed that you haven't got a personalised number plate...PG5W perhaps.

...a few that I've seen:

Ferarri - FLA5H

BMW - A111 OWN

...but the saddest one I've seen was on a Daihatsu - H4TSU and the 4 was crooked to make it look like an A

...one which I see regularly, but haven't figured out yet is a Land Rover - UNT1L ....until what/when/where?

Shocked Ha, Ha, i see you have now been "promoted" to a Moderator, now you can edit, sensor and lecture us, i better watch myself. Rolling Eyes

As you have had your fair share of bashings from Moderators, i suppose you are now going for blood. Twisted Evil

Good luck, DennisN - Sir, or should it be Sir DennisN!

Oh God!

Dennis, What I can see in your number plate is between me and your number plate. And if you want something nice said for your obituary, how's this:-

There once was a man from keynsham,
who had a bloody white van,
When asked some more, of this horible gore,
He replied I'ts my job I'm a stuntman.


Mind you I think your avatar looked better with Fanatic writen above it.

Mike, How far can I go with Rent a DentN befor I get barred? Very Happy

If the truth is known, he leaned forward to get a better view of the road and headbutted the screen.

Personalised plate for pDentN white van man.

MEN15

A Keynsham white van mans been seen
To be promoted to mod, and now mean
But that's not all that bad
As he's now the one sad
'Cos he went and headbutted his screen.

Driving Stop it!
