i have had a thought, i have been going to places like the ace cafe and other meets now for a few years and hardly know anybodys name, would it not be a good idea to say at the next ace cafe meeting to put you pistonhead name on the windscreen of the car so at least we can put a face to the name . I am easy to spot my number plate is TOVIE like my surname,my friend who also turns up is BIGBLOCKMARK. NUMBER PLATE
N500 WOW, it would be nice to talk to like minded people on here and know what the hell they look like.

Why not have a polo shirt with your PH name on it..

All the guys from the wedge fest bought one.. sure helps with meetings being able to identify people

I'm easy to spot. Just look for the cue ball.


Unless I wear my wig.

How spooky! I was digging through some stuff in my Mum's garage this afternoon and I cam across a some old birth, marriage and death cirtificates. One of the names on the mariage cirtificates was Tovey and we were trying to remember whose name it was. In the end we decided that my Aunt (or her mother's) maiden name was Tovey. Rich...

I thought about changing my P/H name to S6 00MPH, but I thought after consideration that it would be a bit silly

I couldn't agree more, I have been to a few meets like the Ace cafe where its almost impossible to know who's who, getting to know a few people but think even PH name on car is not enough, think also need to issue people with badges to wear, like when you are visiting a business premises, yes one might feel a bit of a plonker wearing one, but it would be a quick way of getting to know who your fellow PH enthusiasts are.

Naw. You'd meet a plethora of folk called "Bollox" and "Tosser," and "Get a Life." Too confusing; bit like calling for Spiro in a Greek restaurant and ten guys turn around.



No, they would all be unique, e.g.. "Bollox", "Bollox_1" etc.

So just two types of badges needed then...
One type for you that say's "I'm Spartacus"

and the other for all of us that says "No, I'm Spartacus"

etc etc



edit:bugger! just saw the other thread. I'm always late with the 'I'm Spartacus' gag. doh!

Just look for my BLIP number plates!

But T shirts or something would also be useful as I don't have a clue who I'm talking to at meets. T's with name and car would be cool!

I've had a number of suggestions that I dress up like a right tt so people can recognise me at the Ace. No obvious comments please.

(edited to add - I've never had a post auto-censored before )

Hiya Gordon!
Great idea, I will investigate getting something made up to go in the windscreen maybe above the 'rip-off' (read: Tax Disc).
We could not get there last week as I was ill, but hope to see you at the next one! Regards to you and Chris! Cerby4.5 (Scott & Leyla)

Ok everybody, next time you go to an Ace Meeting get a broad felt tip marker and write your PH name on a A4 sheet of paper (you can nick a sheet from the office photo copier) and get your mum/girlfriend/wife to attach it to your back with a couple of safety pins.

There, job done!
