STICKERS ( for everyone in the Dub Community )
« on: 22 August 2006, 19:49 »
I'm just passing on a post for Jack Black from the E38 forum :

From Jack Black .......... 

Hey guys.

For a while there have been a few spotted threads on forums including  Ed38, and a lot of people (certainly on Ed 38 ) saying that they cant tell if someone's a dubber or not when driving past each other.

well....

I came up with a simple solution, a sticker, that marks you out as a "dubber" without any allegiance to any club or specific forum. it just shows your part of the massive on line community.

The idea is like the CGTI stickers back in the day. they'll be easy to recognize by people in the know.

http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57412

anyways.

vote for your favorite design to be made here^

they'll be giving some away free at the ed38 show.

knock yourselves out.

and thanks for looking.  :wink:

( Sound to me like a great idea )

Does sound like a good idea because apart from mk1s and other mk1 cabs the rest of you are a right set of miserable b'stards !  :laugh: :laugh: I don't bother acknowledging anyone else these days to be honest.  :undecided: When I'm in my camper though other campers/buses always acknowledge. :afro:
......now officially dubless.

In the Van I get waves from all sorts, in the GTi I get a sort of nod from some other Gti drivers and a few waves from vans and beetles.

I like the sticker idea!

i think its a bit bollox to be honest. in theory its a good idea but 'back in the day' club gti was the only club around. now with the whole internet community thing i can't see it having the same effect. i wave at loads of other vw's or give them a flash/toot of the horn etc. especially if they have a 'modified' one as chances are they are 'into the scene'.
on the way to jv's on friday i had a lupo give me the flash thumbs up etc on the m25 which was cool. the fact that we were both in nice vw's was all it took... not a sticker.

also gibby on the way to e38 last year, it being the same weekend as the vw action one, i beeped and waved at loads of aircooled vw's and they all looked at me like i was some chavvy boy racer! :laugh:

it is a good idea but at the end of the day if you're flying down the road would you notice a sticker? if you're driving around slowly or sitting in traffic then it should be obvious if you're a vw entheusiast rather than 'just another owner'.

also like jv said all it would take is someone to start a forum to connect all these sticker owning people and all of a sudden its another club/forum/community. also who will make these stickers? does that mean they are in charge?

at the risk of being a grumpy old man (i'm thinking of trademarking that) too many variables to make it work. for starters all the people who don't like the 'winning' design will be pissed that theirs didn't make it!
