Car show - do not touch post it notes to every side

[Itsallicanafford]

...but torn on this one, clearly it’s the owners pride and joy and maybe they have had a bad experience before...but looks abit OTT? There was about 6 post it notes with ‘do not touch’ on them... You decide.


Some context on how busy the show was...






We showed our BMW with the doors wide open, but it’s only an old Bmeer

That Ferrari is all very nice. Loving your 6 series though - looks like it is more ivory than white - really suits it.

Bloke with the Ferrari looks to be a bit of a knobhead.

Nice mr2

Another shot, edited to keep names out of it...

Thanks Chap, it is Ivory, I think it’s called Sahara white or something like that

Not seeing a major issue here. He's obviously proud of it, it's cleaned to within an inch of its life, the British public are unable or unwilling to control their sticky fingered impulses, and it's better than four stakes and do not cross tape

[M12MTR]

^^^ yes I agree. Show it to the public but they (I) wouldn't want finger marks / scratches on the paint.

The owner has my sympathy.

No such issues with Ray’s 458 Italia this morning at the Midlands Breakie meet at the Hedgehog

Don't take your car to a car show, if you don't want the public touching it.

They take the paint off, those Post It Notes.




They don't really.

Car show, or car fondle?

Well I suppose the misspacing does look better that the original R 4 YUK !

[madcal]

I am sure inspired by Clarkson but my last Aston got some nasty scratches vertically on the wing. Confused me until I realised they were likely from jean rivets when someone had sat on the wing for a photo. Just as he used to do on old TG.

Grrrrrr

Never went the post it note route though

[Pericoloso]

I'd bet he stood close to his car keeping an eye on it the whole day.

I know of a married couple who take 2 FIATs to shows and take turns in doing that.

They insist on parking together ,even if it means messing up a row of same type cars with a different type.

A good time was had by all.

I do wonder why they would bother taking their car to a show if this is their attitude.

One I went to last week had a car with a note on it - gone to look at the show. It’s unlocked; please sit in the car.

[DickyC]

How about the folk with folding chairs who sit close behind their car with a picnic hamper and Thermos? They're always in shot. A good way of discouraging photos I suppose.

[Itsallicanafford]

Like I say, I’m abit torn..obviously the owners pride and joy, they were fully kitted out in Ferrari merchandise so are very invested in their car and the show was a very local affair, note the bouncy etc

But we always like to give people the chance to get some good pictures if they are interested in the car, seems to kind of spoil it?

Perhaps they were frightened people would fall down the panel gap?
