Oh well, I wont bother crashing into the back of your car then!
Surely the most preposterous car sticker in existence?
|
I've also seen "championship winning ponies in transit"
Like anyone gives a monkeys!
|
I saw a notice like that in the rear window of a vehicle I was following ~ but it wasn't a Transit, it was a Volvo! Same difference, I suppose. ;-)

I think the signs are useful.
They inform me that I am following someone with a problem so I give them exta room.
I have seen signs saying little person on board so I guess there must be some with large person on board.
I have always had no signs in my back window.
The more stickers I see on a back window the more wary I am of the vehicle.

Right!
RF jumps in with both feet.
As the owner of a pedigree WORKING dog I have something to say on this (and half a bottle of a rather nice Petit Chablis helps here)
There are show dogs and there are working dogs. Show dogs are bred for criteria that make them attractive for a particular set of judges, and Working dogs are bred for particular hardy and healthy qualities. (Unfortunately show dogs have a "working" class)
Show breeds are bred with appalling qualities, and the owners match. "Show dogs in transit" is all about "look at me., admire me and my dogs - you have to treat me and my dogs differently"
Us working dog owners (who's dogs have pedigrees just as long and carefully selected (for "working" qualities)) will be seen with the dog stuffed in the boot, muddy paw prints up the rear bumper, sides of the car spattered in mud where we have been working the dogs halfway down a muddy track and a far happier and healthier dog,
Likely to be a landy or a Mitsubishi 4 life etc.
Treat the drivers of "show dogs in transit" with care; the drivers are probably mentally unbalanced and hysterical - Just like the dogs. They are likely to do unpredictable things.

Saw one a few weeks back "Caution - Show dogs in Vivaro" - I'll leave you to guess the type of vehicle that it was stuck to.

Best silly sign variation I have seen read
'Driver who behaves like child on board'
|
|
|

RF nice one :-). Have got a 'working' stock Springer also stuffed in the boot from time to time.
You're lucky you only have to go half way down the muddy track, although ours isnt working hes finding every puddle, pond and bit of horse p**h to roll in.
|
Best variation I have seen was "Psychopathic driver on board".

How rude Renault Family! My parents breed labs for showing and working, do not have silly stickers in car windows and are certainly not unbalanced. I take exception at your remarks. My parents do it for a hobby and working dogs are certainly not healthier or more hardy than show dogs. What a generalisation! In the Labrador fraternity the dogs frequently work as much as they show.
I think the purpose of the thread was to condemn drivers with silly stickers per say.

\"Nothing less than 8 cylinders will do\"

Not really V8man, I class your parents as proper breeders. Hence no silly stickers. You cant win tickets* with the same lab in working trials & show trials however. The show judges prefer "fatter" labs and the working judges prefer "leaner" labs. Just ask you parents about "docking" and if they react with horror the way I think they would then I can see why they dont have the need to put stickers on the car.
*The ones that matter.
|
Yes I know about the tickets - I grew up in kennels (not literally) and surrounded by labs. The show dogs are entered however into inter-club matches.

The lab that I will always remember had come back from the field with his owner and was refusing to get back in the car parked next to mine in the car park.
I watched this charade for a good ten minutes and then opened my door, whereupon the dog came up to say hello.
Having made a fuss of him for a couple of minutes, I walked him round to his car, opened the back door and, of course, he jumped straight in for me, leaving a frustrated owner speechless.
Just like kids really - won't obey a parent but if a stranger tells them to do something......

Actually I though it meant a bunch of Essex girls out for a Saturday night.......

. . . I'm still looking for the one I was given -- Attack Cat on Board -- it's here somewhere . . .
|
i always liked the sign
"Caution no hand signals - driver convicted arab shoplifter"
|
what do they think we have to do?
drive very slow and be careful not to rev the engine to scare their show dogs !
jeez get a life.
maybe a sign like
"caution dont drive to close to my rear end, show dogs might be turned into mincemeat, when forced thru 1" cage squares!

>>and working dogs are certainly not healthier or more hardy than show dogs...>>
Absolutely true in the majority of cases. We've got a Sheltie (donated by the oldest offspring after disappearing abroad to work) whose pedigree lists a long line of champions, including his father, yet spends most of his time romping around a wet, muddy golf course.
That's his natural element obviously and he's never been a champion dog show entry, but it still costs a fortune to keep his coat in proper trim.
He loves to jump into the car (there's the motoring link!) and go wherever we go - as long as he's with you he just observes life through the windows or has a nap.

My favourite car stickers are "Live long enough to prove a nuisance to your kids" and STKI (Spending the kids' inheritence"...

Not strictly a car sticker, but a sticker for cars:
"Witches parking only. Offenders will be toad"
My mum now has this at the end of her driveway :o)
|
My first car was a Mini 850, sign saying "No Hand Signals, Driver Eating Yorkie".
"So you're a Yorkie eater then young man?" was the first thing said to me by nice PC who pulled me over. Charles (BR member) was actually with me then.

We have a "Working dog", - never done a day's work in his life, lazy git.
I like the sticker "If you can read this you are driving too close"
