Is it just the Stroud massive or is it the new 'thing' sweeping the whole of the UK?

Hanging a cuddly toy from your rear towing eye/hook...



...sorry for the rubbish pic but hanging from the towing eye on the right is one of these...

You should see the 'bling bling' black and silver alloys on it as well. Rear seats were up though so he was only getting 75% performance out of it. Must have been saving fuel!

I think you can get a toy of some description in a need for speed style game, that hangs from the rear toy eye. Perhaps this is the route of this evil.

Someone explain this, I first noticed someone with one a few months ago. I thought it was a work jacket from a bakery/coffee shop, but it seems it's a "disiner lable"

My friend has the same thing, it's a 'drift charm'. Think it's a Jap thing. However he has an appropriate and driftable AE86 import from which the pikachu hangs, not a gobste corsa.
