This one? It's a Christian symbol and often used by Born again Christians (though I can't remember what they prefer to be called nowadays!)

Or maybe it's the breast cancer sticker sideways :pac:

I don't remember seeing bulls on any cars recently...except Lambo's of course!

Seriously it just means they've been to Barcelona and bought the sticker in a tourist shop, they sell them everywhere in that city, and probably in other cities too. They look pretty cool I think.

if thats the case then its not from lamborgini as someone suggested:think its the symbol a port producer(or other alcoholic beverage) uses.The company had massive bull billboards made after the war and put up all around spain.I think picasso designed them but i'm not sure and can't check atm.

I think the correct term is bible bashers

Magpie!

It's an Andalucian thing isn't it?

Theres a big one (like 10ft tall or something) on top of a hill silloueted(sp) against the skyline above the train line from Algeciras to Ronda

The bulls stickers you can get in spain, they are the "toro" bulls or whatever you call them, I have one!!

When driving from Portugal to Spain one summer, the first thing I saw when crossing the border was a very large black bull up on a hill.

You probably assoicate it with a fridge because you have seen it in fish shops on their fridges. Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) have it in their logo. I know that's where i remember it from.

A year of success for the Spanish. Now they're taking over car styling too.
