It is with regret that this must be my first post on this forum, I have been meaning to sign up for ages!

Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed a number of PHers driving tremendously irresponsibly on the roads across the UK. How do I know they were PHers? They had massive PH smileys across the back of their car. Incidents have included what appeared to be doubling a 30mph speed limit, and today I saw a chap in a civic cause a man to fall from his bicycle on a roundabout!!! Both had large PH stickers on full show!

Now I have a subtle PH smiley on my car too, and I do not want to be associated with this form of reckless and dangerous driving. I am sure 99% of PHers out there would not want to either, and as car enthusiasts, it is our role to set the bar for safe and enjoyable driving.

So I think I speak for the majority of this forum when I say:

IF YOU HAVE A PH STICKER ON YOUR CAR, YOU ARE REPRESENTING ALL PHERS. YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO DRIVE IN AN EXEMPLARY FASHION.

You know who you are.

Forgive my cynicism but you'll understand if I take this post with a grain of salt at the moment as it's not the first time somebody has signed up to do a concerned citizen trolling the forum post.

Now I'm confused, I never seem to see cars with PH stickers!

I'm impressed actually, I don't think I've ever seen another car with a PH sticker other than at a Sunday Service, and mine obviously.

No I don't.

Some joker has stuck a Renault badge on the back of my car, does that mean I represent Renault too?

What about when I where my Lyle & Scott polo shirts, do I represent them?

No.

..then remove your sticker? we get to carry on driving in a reckless and dangerous manner and you arent associated with us. I believe this is referred to as a "win/win"

Hello! Tell us something about yourself - why that intriguing nickname, and what car do you have your PistonHeads sticker attached to? smile

To redress the balance, a very nice chap in a silver 525d let me out in front of him when leaving Kingston Sainsburys the other night. He had a smiley under the badge on the boot and a Pistonheads sticker in the back window.Thanks chap.

You have a sticker on your car, yet this is your first post?

Good weather has brought out numptys and lots of them.

Over the course of the weekend I was blocked from a perfectly legal and safe overtake by a OAP (well she thought she'd blocked me!), had headlights flashed in outrage after getting tired of waiting at 40 on a NSL area (another old lady), and had a old gent going ballistic on a motorway as I did not stand on the brakes to let him out to pass the lorry with a .2 MPG speed difference.

No PH Smiley - but If I had one, it would be my fault I'm sure.

Maybe he got a car that already had a sticker on it, along with his obvious sense of self righteousness and moral high ground?
