Brand loyalty - would you - tattoo?!

[Molly GT]

Walking back to the pick-up (you'aalll) in the supermarket car park today I had trouble holding in my sniggers as an,otherwise sensible looking, bloke approached. Why the sniggers? On his left calf was a large tattoo showing his allegiance to a certain brand of Italian car (associated with stallions funnily enough - or dancing donkeys as another wise old PH'er once said).

This set me thinking. How much do you love your car? Have any of you got the tattoo? Does anyone anywhere have an Aston Martin tattoo?!?!

Don't dissapoint me now - come on, tell me what you've got?! George .....?


P.S. I couldn't find his Ferrari in the car park

Wouldn't surprise me Molly if Rob had 'V8VS' imprinted on one knuckle......and the word 'Chris' on t'other

[Lunablack]

We had a fella at work that'd lost his finger in a machine.....


LOVE and HAT...... Didn't make him look that tough

[williamp]

Like this??

[Simon T]

Oh ok then I'll own up, have one, but it only says Asttin, till I see one that is

[Slarti]

Can't say it's at the top of my todo list. If I did there'd be only one place for it, but there's only space for 3 letters sadly (BMW would make for a euphemistic acronym).

[Molly GT]

Oh no - I've got this stuck in my head now!:

As for the BMW acronym - no, best I don't go there. I was there but I'm not going back

My friend has the DeTomaso logo tattoed on his arm, he was the first and he's quite annoyed that some of the other owners have copied him. It looks nothing short of stupid however...

I wouldn't have a tattoo of anything let alone a car brand. IF I was to have one, the Jaguar symbol would be kind of cool...

Saw a 'smudged jumping donkey' tattoo on a well know local 2nd hand car dealer in Cardiff.
He had one of the first 430's a few years back.
Always parked his car right at the front of ST David's hotel.
I had just finished a run, showered and in the jacuzzi, when this braying puffing chump appeared from the sauna, and without showering, jumped right in next to me.
I stared, and asked if he would like to take a 'dump' in here as well. Never have I seen a worse tattoo on a more odious individual.

Noooo, forget what might ever be cool, just don't!!!! ......

Unless there's something you think might please the future Mrs Yeti?

How are the wedding plans coming along - do we have a date yet ?! There are so many things on your car-based calendar that you are going to have trouble avoiding clashing with!

Molly, I think you will find that either the Spring, Summer or Autumn run out next year will in fact coincide with the wedding of le & la Yeti !!

It's the least we can offer

Plus, I like cake...a lot

After Le Mans and before Goodwood Revival are my only wishes. Otherwise I can probably spare a weekend somewhere.

Shockingly, she's agreed to come to Silverstone this weekend (as we'll visit her sister afterwards) so Nick will get to meet her... Maybe he can persuade her to come on the Autumn run out, although he might not be there himself

I'm too scared to get a tattoo, I don't like needles!

I guess they didn't go the whole hog and add the name just encase AM sued them for copyright

[Neil1300R]

Get a tramp stamp - good grief whatever next!
Nearest I get to it is wearing Aston Martin winged logo cuff-links.

Don't be scared Georgie...... It's only a little prick

Speaking of which..

Anyway, if I did get a tattoo (which I have no intention of doing) I know I'd end up getting something I regret. Like my mate who got this on his leg after he just watched 'the Hangover' and was pissed in Thailand

Me too. But IF I HAD to have one, that's the best car logo for me. And I have had as many Jags as I've had Astons!
