Stupid car accesories

[Paul Gulliver]

Just read this on an English review for the new toyota B 86 I'm sure the highlighted bits will put a smile on Uncle Col Col's Face

Toyota UK last week announced the release of 250 examples of the GT 86 TRD – Britain's first official TRD-branded model – fitted with unique front and side skirts, a rear spoiler, 18-inch alloy wheels, "fast-response" quad exhaust outlets and specific TRD components including a branded radiator cap, fuel filler cover and gearshifter.

Not sure on the pricing, but that branded radiator cap would have to be worth thousands

My favourite is Mazdas new 'sky active technology' - what a ridiculous name for something.

Not a stupid car accesory, but to all the people who put bowtie Chevrolet badges on their Commodores, a sticker seen on mostly Falcons, a sticker with a Chevrolet badge with a red circle through it, saying it a fu@^ing Commodore you dickhead, there was a great clip on youtube of the Hitler film from a few years ago with the Herr Hitler going into a table thumping rage to his Generals about loosing the war,......except it had been revoiced to Hitler going into a rage about all the Commodores with Chevrolet badges, sadly it was taken down after about a week due to copywright issues, Colin.

3-12-2013, 3 weeks before christmas, saw my first car with reindeer antlers sticking out of the back window, not on an Alfa Romeo, but one of those Korean Fords.......was going too fast for me to break them off, but waiting to see some on a parked car which will be fair game, should be plenty of useless car accesories for christmas at Autocrap, Colin.

This thread had no right to die . Thanks for keeping it alive with your ever vigilant  eye Uncle Col . I will be paying even more attention
over the festive season.

Not stupid car accesories, but stupid bus accesories, in Frankston, [Victoria], embattled Frankston MP, the Honorable Mr. Shaw was being interviewed at a door stop, and a bus pulled up, with the bus driver dressed as Santa, it was a hot day, i hope the bus had airconditioning!, Colin.

Bah humbug

I'll be looking out for a set to go with my tinsel in the Sportwagon.

[colcol]

Make sure the christmas decorations don't cover the 'My Family' sticker on the Sportwagon, Colin.

[Cool Jesus]

There's some funny my family variants out there. I always get a giggle, and I've seen a few now, from couples where the male sticker has been removed and you can see this from the dusty outline. Hmmm disharmony in that family... Actually I saw a whole family of mum, dad, kids and pets with the dad having been removed! I still am confounded at how much personal info people are willing to display for the world to see.

[colcol]

Apparantly the 'MY Family' was invented by someone in Queensland, who has a bit more coin now than before.
There are 2 generations grown up since we had nodding dogs on the back window shelfs, when are these stupid, but cute bow wows going to make a comeback?, Colin.

[colcol]

Car Eyelashes are now available from motorquip.co.au, they are $14.99 RRP, i'll have 2 sets please, to give my cars the Lamborghini Muira look, Colin.

[Neil Choi]

Come on Colin, if you are going eyelash all the Alfa's, get it right.

YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT.

Or perhaps $5K for some Porsche GT3 bookshelf.  Money will spent.

A sad aside to the chev badge thing I read that GM had been arguing for a while that as holden badges were being replaced with chev ones why keep holden john

[Garibaldi]

I don't get the Chev badge thing. They are clearly driving a Holden Commodore so what makes them think its a Chevy.

[colcol]

A Holden is a better car than a Chevrolet, so why would you put a badge of a lesser car maker on, it?, the only good thing, it means there is a wally driving, so give them a clear passage, Colin.
