Probably got names!

Yeah, still trying to figure out one for my Disco.

It replaced Skippy the Rangie, so one of my friends started with Skipinder as a replacement name.

It's heading for "Skipindernof**koff" at the moment.

I really need to figure out a useful name for it.

Have seen one on the back of a v8 90 Something like "The car in front is NOT a BLOODY JEEP. He had one or two amusing ones. "Keep Clear Bits may Fall Off" was another one.

I'm not generally a fan of those stickers, but i did see one that said 'Its not leaking, its marking it's territory", and i would really like one!

Go to the MuddyWeb stand at any of the major shows and ask them to make you one :-)
