It seems that everybody has a 'Ring sticker or sticker from some other race circuit on their car these days. I see plenty here in South Korea and I'm sure none of these cars have driven all the way to Germany for a lap.

I saw something that topped the charts for random Nurburgring stickerage the other day. Can anyone beat this for random/unlikely Ring transport?

perhaps the truck is owned by the ring, or delivers there

Renault Scenic yesterday.

Also had Renault sport badges, low profile tyres on aftermarket alloys, stick on shark fin antennas, chrome "things" stuck all over it.

I suspect had I been able to see the front it would have had LED w**ker lights too.

when I was there, I saw a Scenic, it had a tow bar bike rack (with a couple of bikes on it) - the Marshalls checked it was secure enough and off the woman & her son went!

I saw one on a clapped out old Ford Fiesta a while ago, probably a 1.1 with everything bog standard on it, don't think it would even have got to the 'ring, never mind completed a lap!

Seeing quite a lot of those "Neverbeen" stickers.

Just what's the point of that?

Looks like it could have been on the lorry from new. Did Hyundai ever hold a lap record there?. They could have stuck that on some new vehicles to commemorate the event. The average new car buyer may not want that on their Lantra or whatever, but commercial fleet buyers probably wouldn't have cared.

When you're there its quite funny, nearly everything has a sticker.. Even in the local towns they've got them.

Saw a "Neverbeen" this morning, idiot.

G-Wizz just off Picadilly Circus I didn't look long enough to see if it was a "never been" sticker or the real deal.

Can it get in one lap without needing a recharge ?

It's taking the piss out of the people with Nurburgring stickers who've obviously never been. Obviously.

I decided against getting a ring sticker for mine as all the "ironic" neverbeen stickers annoy me.

Ring sticker on a Suzuki Swift.

Said Suzuki was 1 day old and only just been collected from dealers. It also has Renault World Series stickers, 'nuff said.

I have just taken one off my 911 that I have just sold and am looking forward to earning the right to put one on the Megane RS 250. I will however buy a Never Been one for the wifes 4x4.

Ah, I see. I thought it was clever nonconformist "I don't see the point of going and neither should you with your proud sticker" thing, rather than poking fun at those who buy the stickers off eBay. Now it makes a bit more sense!

Not sure if I'd buy one when I went, you see far too many idiots with them. If the car was spectacularly unlikely, then I definitely would smile and I quite like the idea of a PH smiley in the top right of the rear window, and a 'Ring in the top left!
