Nurburgring Sticker Obsession

[tbc]

in the famous words of Playdays

'where will it go, where will it stop'

What is with the obsession, you never see Silverstone stickers or even Suzuka or Laguna Seca

you see them on Golfs Audis even Ford Transits

seen a few 'never been' stickers too which is rather amusing

they are everywhere

[Pints]

I find the M25 equivalent quite amusing.

Strange isn't it. Even if I ever went there, I wouldn't want to put a sticker on to my car shout about it - horribly tacky.

[long time lurker]

I saw a piston heads sticker on a chavved up corsa the other day..... Now that should be banned!!

(t.b.h it's only sticker)

[Regiment]

Just seems like needless clutter, i'd even include the Piston Heads sticker in that as well as any dealership, NCAP, etc, etc, stickers on the windows.

I went and bought the sticker- but never put it on for this reason.

You do, just not as much.

Here are some stickers:

The first time I saw a 'Neverbeen' sticker I chuckled - but that was a good few years ago.

Not sure why you'd have one if you've not been. I see them in the same light as PH ones, maybe warrants a nod or a quick conversation in the petrol station.

Had a small one on the mx5, went a bit mental when I took the MR2 there...

I didn't bother when I took my old
BMW there last June, but my Westfield does have one on. I'm going to take it off to make way for a PH sticker though!

I have nothing against Ring stickers though. I may put track stickers somewhere on the Westfield for circuit day it has done. When I've done a track day anyway!

[Debaser]

I sometimes thought about putting one of those M25 ring stickers on the back of my racing car.

[Amateurish]

Saw "notbothering" today. Why? Just why?

To be fair though, it was a Micra with flames down the side.

i always thought it would be the modern equivalent to seeing a toe bar on the back of a car when you were looking to buy it...

been to the ring? yeh, ill give it a miss thanks...

[JamesYates]

There is a Golf round my way with a sticker saying "lickmyring" on a nurburgring map... classy

Why?

I have a number of track stickers on my MX5 (all for tracks I've been to).

Whilst it may be seen to signify that I thrash it around race tracks - the other side of it is that I change the oil after every track outing and the filter every other outing. I also ensure that the brakes and suspension are in fine fettle and change both the brake fluid and coolant at least once a year.

Or would you prefer a car that gets driven around by someone who doesn't know or care about the servicing requirements of the car and believes that an MOT certificate means 'FSH'?

Go to the FOOT of the class for that post

BTW i have a Ring sticker.

I like it.

Yes i have been round there a few times.

Each and every single time you see somebody with this sticker, pull alongside and ask them what time they got

A friend of mine has taken to doing this, he got a good reaction a couple of weeks back from a young chap in his Corsa D 1.2 sporting a sticker.
