In our Car Park today, a car with Pink Fluffy Dice hanging from the rear view mirror. Are they a forum user? Mixed metaphors, though as they also had a Pink Fluffy Steering wheel cover....!

One of the girls who works here has a baby corsa with seat covers and matching steering-wheel cover in fluffy 'cowhide' effect. Looks like Dipsy's hat!
... and it has huge alloy wheels (15 inch, I think) which show off the rusty brake drums to perfection!
I'll keep my Astra factory-standard, thanks!

15'' alloys? Huge?.

What do they use for normal cars in SA - skateboard wheels?!

Ok, I checked - they are 16s! Look damn silly on a noddy corsa.

It wasn't by chance a mk1 MR2 was it ?

I saw one this morning ( Leicester ) with the same trimmings.
