England flags with roof off?

[neggs]

With the world cup starting soon, im sure we all will be supporting our choosen team! Many cars drivers use the popular "flags out of the window" to show their support. My question is, how can we Lotus drivers show our support with the roof off?

Any ideas?

Cheers :-)

Nooooooooo, don't do it. Those things are hideous - The patriotism is a good thing, but those flags are sooo chav, don't degrade the Elise.

Sorry, I might just have started a heated debate, but hey-ho.

Interested to see other peoples thoughts on them.

Being a sportscar driver this has never been an issue for me. But good luck with the increased fuel bills

You could always take the little "slot on" flag off the pole it's attached to and put it on the ariel?

Little something on the end to stop it from flying off and you're there

Time to sell the lotus then.

If you buy a Vauxhall Chavalier its acceptable, if you buy a sports car, keep your flags on your window at home, next to your copies of the Sun and Mein Kampf.....

I dont think there's anything wrong with them. It's the world cup, it's a way the country comes together, and I for one love it at this time because of the 'buzz' that occurs.

So, while I won't be putting one in the Lotus, I don't think they're a bad thing. If you're a chav, you'll always be a chav. If you're a cock, you'll always be a cock. A flag doesn't change that.

I'll drink to that

Save the Elise for

Just put your Union Jack hard top on instead!

Tony thats funny I like your black and white analodgy although I think by doing this british bulldog act youd be a bigger cock. Im with Shangani time to buy a mondeo if I see this.

Come on the world cup is only every 4 years - its a bit of fun kinda like the typical elise driver? don't take themselves to seriously!?!
Now I doubt you'll see a Z4 with a flag 'its just not the done thing, makes me look a bit less than middle class!!!!'

Can't imagine anyone calling someone in an elise a chav!

Weh hey!! go on stir it up!! ;-)

The only flags that should be associated with a Lotus are chequered ones

Agree with this

I would love to fly both a union Jack & a Saint George's cross flag on saint George's day the only reason why I don't is because it would make the car (& me) look very
silly, It's a shame that Chav's etc have adopted these

I'm very patriotic and I'm proud to be British but I'm afraid these flag's have been used in the wrong way

As you can tell I'm not really a Football fan but support my Country

Agreed - a matter of personal choice re: if you want one on the car or not.

delete Essex! I agree with you though bog in that in this context our flag has been portrayed in the wrong way as far as football is concerned.
