It translates to: "I'm a pompous ass who likes to try and show off"

Its meant to be a sign that the car has seen "The Ring" however a lot of people like pretending.

Or my "wouldn't make it"

i thought it was part of the campaign to save the Nurburgring.... probably wrong, I usually am.:rolleyes:

I'd bet 90% of people that have these stickers have not been on that ring. People just like fibbing, the "german" look thing as someone already mentioned. Young lad lives opposite me has one on his 1.0L corsa, I'm betting he is fibbing!

corktina

you think he's telling porkies? as Delboy said once

In most cases, they mean that the owner has a 90hp tdi, chipped to 200hp, which is so fast they been around the ring, on their cheap coilovers and replica wheels, in under 7 mins without anyone even noticing that they weren't driving continuously up and down the main street of whatever town they live in every evening.


I think thats what they mean outside Dublin anyway!:P

Say's who?

Nearly all of those stickers are cheap eBay fakes. The word nurburgring is spelled wrong or in the wrong place on the logo. I have the genuine article on my Landcruiser, only because I took it around the track. Those golfs and A4s annoy me.

Cool Your's is real and everyone else's are fake :rolleyes:
Good for the ego ha..:D

TrailerBob

In fairness I think the ego's are mostly in the A4's. It's become a kind of skangermobile thing unfortunately. I just think it looks funny on a jeep.......And yes I like knowing mine is real:D

Is someone sorry they stuck a fake Nürburgring sticker next to their GT TDI badge? :P

dr.fuzzenstein

It usually comes with the complete felt spec kit for a 1.9TDI A4.

OK, everyone take it down a notch. It seems like a fun thread, but if you attack the poster instead of the post, you're going to get banned.

Have always wondered about that actually, makes sense for the bull run, but is it my imagination or is it found on a lot of Seat cars?

I was going to buy a Molls Gap one at the Rally of the Lakes this year, but the fella selling the stickers was such an absolute asshole that I couldn't give him money.

I went in with a friend looking at the stickers, then asked him how much he wanted to do make it, and he said something like 14€, I pondered about how much of a waste of money it was and just as I was about to open my mouth he said "Come back when ye have a few euro between ye, lads". I swear, I was speechless with rage.

That joke is sooo funny...

Not

I have German font plates on my car because I prefer the look of them over plastic/standard pressed metal plates.

savagecabbages

no need to be so defensive. And you don't have to justify your taste in numberplate font to me.



Anyhew, I'm going printing off a few hundred of these for molls gap next year;)

I don't get these stickers which I've increasingly been seeing lately on a lot of what one could only classify as scanger mobiles...
