Talking Amusing ideas for running in stickers???

Anyone done this?
I know it's probably childish to some of you but I figured why not?
Once saw an S2 with "running in pass while you can" written on the boot, figured i do the same when i get my taxi MOT'd, has to be something subtle though, i'm not one for badges and "MOTORSPORT" plastered everywhere

I think my favourites so far are the "broke down" and "old sierra!"

I have this in the back window of my cossie for my own personal amusement....



I got it from when I went to watch British touring cars. Ironically, I got a blow out on the way home and was stranded over night

Rog,

Be run in in about 2hrs

Out A90 down past me, over Cairn O Mount, back in through Banchory and onto Lower Deeside Rd then back into Aberdeen.

Job done

That way you get a pit stop at toughys to check fluids and grab a coffee

" Pass me while its on the road!"

" Go on, give it some.... might be your only chance"

" pass me before I break"

" soon to be 800bhp...."

" This sticker isnt worth reading, but if you keep reading you might think to yourself why the fuck am I reading a sticker on the back on a taxi for!"

Ha ha some good choices, I'll have to get some made up.

Toughy, sounds like a plan!
Im in Norway at the moment, back on friday, and the car is getting picked up on friday night or saturday to have new brake/fuel lines fitted and ANOTHER new radiator.....Not had the time recently, and the snow hardly makes me want to go out and lie on the front slabs, so i figured just get someone else to do it!!!
It's just about there though so shouldnt be away long hopefully!
Any thoughts on a new car, your old man mentioned you were thinking emmmmm threeee?

We changed and threw an engine together in mine in a day about 2 yrs ago ready for the Cumbria show on the Sunday. I had on the back of mine "Engine sick...pass while you have the chance"

Still remember getting a bollocking for doing 140mph on a stone cold engine with hardly any miles on the headgasket or bolts

"Running in, pass while you CAN" graced mine after rebuild. It's not new but it's a classic.

PMSL @ the replies, some of you have got some great ideas!!!

Paul,

car is going to a guy off here from Findon (philert on here) he's picking it up on friday or saturday I think, rear bleed nipples and old braided brake lines are seized into the calipers, can't be bothered with them after the carry on i had with the front brembos (had to send them down south blah blah blah) Think i will get new fule and brake lines under the car too, i'll see what he says. Alignment needs done, and i ordered a new radiator as the one i have leaks believe it or not!!!.....I was going to take it off and have it fixed but i figured i'll just fix it after I've done a straight swap with the new one.

Good luck with the car choices, 22B.....no need to be embarrased about that, I'd quite fancy one of thse myself, but I've been looking at new shape 530d sport BM's now that's maybe a little on the sensible side!
