Title: Very annoyed at Next
Post by: lifeavoidit on 08 July 2009, 01:50

I was looking in Next the other day and i came across a very interesting t-shirt, but upon closer inspection i started to get very cross.

I hope im not being to picky but i thought at least haynes would have picked up the mistakes or at the very least someone that works for Next.

I found 4 mistakes on it, prob the best one is the fact the picture is a mk2 golf lol.

Yeah, this has been up before.
I've got one of these t-shirts and it's slightly annoying that it's not accurate.

It says Haynes Manual Golf GTI - then gives the 1.0 and 1.3 engine sizes
The dates are wrong for the Golf GTI, which only came out in 76.
The engine in the car is clearly an 8v, but the "exploded" diagram at the bottom (in pink) is a 16v engine

What else have you spotted ?

lol, i got this shirt last week for my birthday,
to be honest i did really notice any difference apart from the engine...
but my main problem was the fact its in pink? :huh:
i know the mk2 is for girls but... :laugh: :shocked: :evil: only joking.
(awaits plenty of abuse)

approximately 57 people were seen wearing this tshirt at spring fest. as that made up 32% of the event attendance, i would conclude that mr next has done rather well even allowing for the schoolboy level errors.

I've got the Golf GTI one and the Mini one too, although I had the Mini one first and I don't know how accurate it is.

Yeah, every show I go to now there's a billion people wearing this t-shirt! I very nearly bought one.. Until I saw that they were something like £18! I'm not paying that for a novelty t-shirt..

hahahaha!!!! thats the best t-shirt ever. there are about half my tshirts i'm not allowed to wear to work...

for example, my friends band called "the brothel corpse trio" with the slogan "hanging in the whore house" on the back...

the always amusing picture of a dodge charger and the words "My other ride is your mother"...

my boss just doesn't seem to like them.

As for the golf gti t-shirts... to expensive for me to buy... plus the mistakes... i would quite happily wear one if i got one as a present or somethin though.
