Show Us Your Stickers!

I'm sure there might have been threads like this in the past, but I've been looking through some of my old F1 memorabilia. Brought back happy memories of wandering around the pits and paddock as a little kid, asking mechanics and exotic looking and sounding foreign ladies for stickers. Impossible for most these days I guess. Anyway, I hope some of these might stir a few memories of when going to an F1 meeting was a more involving experience, rather than just being an extra in TV 'event'. Most are F1, but there are some other categories too, usually supporting events at GP's or Group C.

The first 2 remind me of my bedroom wall as a kid. I had one entire wall full of magazine cuttings and stickers on it. That would have been about '89-'90. No photos unfortunately.

Cool. My collection covers the following decades. Will dig out some of the best and take some pics :-)

Love the Benetton Ford sticker, lovely looking car.

I've always added a small decal to my cars/bikes simply as my own little stamp, i'm sure it won't be to everyones tastes, c'est la vie.

The Senna sticker should have came off last year to be replaced with a Nurburgring sticker but it never quite seemed as special.

Nice stickers dr_gn. The orange Exige looks lovely too.

Thanks guys. I agree the Exige looks great: stickers can look a bit naff on a car, but subtlety is the key, and here they definitely add something. I guess it helps they are black.

My stickers are all over the place - old bedroom cupboards, tool cabinets etc. The Honda ones from '87 are great - I managed to rescue them during a move of garages, and I stuck them to a bit of aluminium.
