A Porsche : Sign'o'the times ?

mercsport

Yesterday a Porsche parked up outside my house and , confusingly perhaps , a blonde got out and went walkabout I know not where .
I couldn't resist recording the occasion for incised deeply into the lush paintwork was this tender declaration of affection :

BTW , I know the light makes it difficult make out properly but , yes , the 'D' was omitted either through spacing it out wrong or time , or both .

Maybe it was said blonde's ex hubby's - when the divorce comes thro' she'll not only have his car, she'll have enough spare cash for a re-spray.

Does make you sick that you are not allowed to own a fancy motor in this country for fear of some scrote taking keys to it. Even Mrs Bronzie suffered a "milking" in her VW Beetle when it was new - she's got a personalised plate (not my idea :roll: ) although it's not a particularly blatant one. :twisted:

Got to be a personal, rather than say a business, comment on the scruples of the owner.

Wouldn't mind seeing a few cars I've encountered emblazoned with some road courtesy comments.

How about " Oi Dipshit, give cyclists more room"

That'll only fit on a large white van - you make have to be more succinct to get it to fit on a Mini - "C***" would work

That's a badge of (dis)honour certainly.

Unless this is Identical, I've seen this pic flying round on emails about not cheating on wives about 12-24 months ago !

That's a very funny point How we all assume it was infidelity. Maybe he got caught cheating at poker?!

"How we all assume it was infidelity"

Well, there's nowt else for which it is worth risking a Porsche.

HungryCol

Maybe he won the Porsche from a charity unscrupulously.

On the other hand.................

Well that's certainly Didsbury.

The pictures at the top are, where ?
- looks maybe West Yorks like Hebden Bridge or somewhere, easy driving distance from Mcr ?


Puzzles me how it's an advertising thing, no company name or phone number on it
- although I guess if it had a company name on it, you'd assume they were 'cheating b*sta*r' and want to avoid them !

Now that it's been discovered to be a subject of Snopes.com I presume the D is omitted to get round the laws regarding decency.

MEN have it too

Same wording as Snopes, so I wonder which copied from the other, or both from a press release ?

Some of the comments are from people claiming to have seen it and apparently real scratches, but doubts as to whether it really is an advertising stunt

If I recall correctly I think this had something to do with a bodyshop advertising it's work. It has been around for a while and is certainly not genuine.

fossyant

Yep the Didsbury pictures I saw.....

redddraggon

they are different cars. The positions of the letters are different on each car.

LangerDan

Same car - same reg no.

It seems that the writing is done with one of those white paint markers that Arfur Daley types use to write the prices in the windscreens of £100 Fiestas

seen it round manchester loads of times.

Isn't that Benitez's handwriting on Drogba's car?

I'm delighted that the 'bike-radar detective agency' has discovered what it was all about .
I confess I didn't inspect the 'scratches' at all closely as I took the pic's on the hoof , in passing , and didn't want to appear to be gloating at someone else's misfortune . I expect I was though - 'quivering net curtain syndrome' . Yes , could have been white marker , but because of the angularity of the strokes it looked as if someone had gone at it with one of my tungsten tipped chisels .
The pic's were taken outside of my house in Saddleworth .
It's certainly an attention grabber . Kudos to the chap who thought it up . I expect we'll see a lot more of this sort of thing like Del Boy's Reliant Robin three wheeler 'Independent Traders' which used to be everywhere .

This story has reminded me of a car that I see regularly. On the number plate, properly printed instead of the usual garage name etc, is 'My ex is a W*nker'.
Genius.
