Default A.F.F Sticker..NOT HAPPY

Now, I know its a play on words but, I'm not happy about my sticker or more to the point what was done to my sticker. (I LOVE THE STICKERS)
As some of you know I just went to Adelaide for the Ford Day. I left Friday and just got back.

Anyways, We arived at the show point early sunday and I started cleaning my ute.
I was cleaning the back window and see an edge of my AFF sticker lifting, or so I thought.

NOoo, Some low life has picked the .au of the end of it.....
Now my sticker was Purple on a Purple car it doesnt exactly stand out.
What more can I say....:jab: :jab:


Cheers.....Kev

More like a love affair. Damn it! That would **** me right off that someone had the time to peel it off and I never saw it happen.

I very much dought it had anything to do with the old site.

I've heard many times of people with stickers that end in .au having had their .au portions taken off.

I'd be willing to bet they did it purely to be ****ers.

Sorry to hear that Kev. I was at the AFD on the weekend too, and at no point would I have thought someone could be so blatant to want to touch an entrants car. Being an ex-entrant myself from the 2004 AFD, I was pretty paranoid about people touching my car at the time. So in some way, I guess I know a little bit of what you feel. I hope it was just the sticker taken and nothing else of more value!

reminds me of when i ahd my first eski in high school
just had it for a week, had rims zorst aftermarket bucket seats, tinted windows, race wheel, tacho and shift light and nice dark green paint.

got out of school one day to find some f*** came along and put two massive key marks from front to back along the side of my car, then they keyed the bonnet and one key line on the passengers side.

absolutely pi**ed me off something cronic, and i didnt even **** any one off either, mustve been some jealous punk who giot stuck driving their mums camra or sumthing :(

why dont people have more respect for others belongings????

I was there at AFD just after Kev discovered it. I was horrified! Its bad enough someone has removed the au bit, but just someone touching your car... thats disgusting. I cant imagine why someone would wanna do that.

Hope you get a new one soon Kev. By the way, it was great to finally meet you, and I hope you had a good drive home! See you at Heathcote in a few weeks!

Sorry to hear about that Kev. That's just plain fukk-ed up.. Let me know if you'd like a replacement mate. I'm still trying to score some reflective white so as soon as I have some I'll let you know.

Easily enough done, but unfortunately you can't see them all that well. Especially if the windows are tinted..
