Where is PG these days ? Has she developed into a figure in finance ?

I saw an Audi sports car with the interlocked rings of the logo on the bonnet decorated with diamantés. It looked quite twee.

Oh. Dear.

That's almost as bad as those headlamp 'eyelashes' I have seen on Nissan Micras and Ford Kas. On a par with 'powered by Fairydust' decals on the bodywork of the car....cringe.

You must be a new guy. Polo Girl is an 'old timer' on the site.

Bobbin may play rugby but I can vouch for the fact she's all woman.

I'm happy to say that is one abomination that I have not seen. Just out of interest, can you get "Dented by someone with good taste" stickers?

If this sort of thing is to become common, I may need to lay in a supply.

PoloGirl hasn't been around for a long time: you and I remember her, Hillman, but to my knowledge she hasn't posted in the 2 years since Bobbin's been with us.

She was a charming 20-something, almost as charming as Bobbin: she was a moderator for a time, some time before I became one in 2010 - and was much fiercer than I am!

I'm sure she has been a success in whatever profession she's in: she managed to sell a clapped-out 10-year-old VW Polo for £1,500. I'm pretty sure she wasn't twee, and would be as horrified by the diamante as we are.

Just shows that I haven't been paying attention. I'm not sorry of course ! Gender is not one of the most important factors if one is a true motorist. But, if the owner wishes to apply a little decor to assert individuality...

If I remember correctly PG had her Polo resprayed in a very jazzy metal flake suspension enamel. When she bent it severely the insurance company insisted in writing it off, much to her anger and disgust, and other emotions too. I think that she prevailed eventually. If she later sold it for £1500 then that really is an eyeopener.

During the 1960s I often saw a Ford saloon with the model letters changed to read REPHYR. Being separate letters in those days it was a cute way to assert oneself.

The Stig's only got a part-time job. Who knows?

When the forum was revamped in early 2010 three of us volunteered - Boris the Spider, Well-known Sid and myself. The other two don't often post but are around usually in the mornings and intercept spam. I check the forum most evenings.

Sorry - nothing more exciting or sinister than that!
