Title: CA sticker
Post by: Christopher on August 13, 2008, 09:15:15 am

Morning all,

Word of warning.......when removing the CA 2008 sticker it also removed some lacquer!  :'(

The 2007 stickers came off fine, even after 6 months. My fault, I guess, for taking the sticker off so soon.

So now the rear clam is getting a scruffy look, just like the front clam.

Bit of a pi$$er.

Next year's sticker will be going in the window.

Bit late for Christopher, but if you soften the glue with a hairdryer first, they come off fairly easy.  Any residual glue can be wiped off with white spirit (or similar).

Did that, as I have done on other stickers over the years.

The 08 one softened nicely with the hair dryer, but about half way through it started pulling off the lacquer.

Had no problems in previous years.

Maybe it was just some poor paint / lacquer quality in this particular area. Previoulsy I have had the stickers in a different place.

Leave them on. Consider them as campaign medals for missions accomplished.

Yes should be left on until it is replaced with next years- its a badge of honour!
 Saw a BMW with a MB camping pass in the window on the motorway last week- lots of tooting of horns, thumbs ups and mad grinning followed. 
 My Alfa still has a '75 LM sticker peeling away on its rear window, i could never take it off, its part of the car now.

That's how I tell how many years the camper has been to Sebring...count the parking stickers on the window.

A proper aircraft, one that lightened my bank account by £250, but money well spent , oh and then there's the t shirt, the model to build, the painting i bought etc, so quite a bit more than £250 in the end.

I had to remove all of mine for my MOT on the Chavalier, The removal  left clean patches so no complaint from me.
The DFH rabbit stickers that appeared all over her have now re appeared but in a crusty dirt style rather than orange or yellow.
The Cav rolls on... nearly 40K miles on a £250 car is rather good VFM in my book! ;D

I noticed the rabbits when you stayed. Thought they were cute, but not quite Playboy ;D

Year stickers are a "badge on honour".

The CA 2008 was placed on the defunct wind deflector, when I got time it will be placed as the rest.

Me with my 2006 CA sticker still stuck on the side (and I have one on the rear of the car too).
The look I'm getting from MGMark is the one he gives when you overtake him on a full course yellow!
The red mist got into my eyes.

Then later...

the bugger tried undertaking me when Mark was my passenger

what stopped him?

MGMark bashing several kinds of doggydoo out of his drivers door

That garyfrogeye's a veritable animule on track

My sticker from last year had to come off due to a minor repaint session

HAVE NO FEAR... I HAVE A SPARE

But none from this year, I didn't get one!

Don't go chasing Ferrari's through little French roads now Bill  ;D

It would truly sadden me if that recent pursuit sport became "infra dig"

It should indeed become de rigeur that when in France one hunts 'rraris in LBCs

It isn't necessary to nail them you understand but the buggers need to retire knowing they'd been hunted

 ;)

what a nice day out that was

a belated thank you again Termie, wonderful times...
