Naff

[Bazile]

Is there anything on the roads these days , more naff than vehicles with loud exhausts and spoilers ?

[Zacs-Master]

The latest thing is a sticker of cartoon like characters which is supposed to represent your family. Naff. And stickers which look (a bit) like your dog!) Also Naff. Badges which say 'Sport' when it clearly isn't. Naff. German style numberplates. Naff.

Those spinning hubcaps should be banned, the first time I saw one the car was waiting to come onto the main road. I suddenly spotted the hubcap moving and thought he was pulling out so I braked and the man behind nearly ran into me.

My other car is a Porsche, NAFF.

What do they look like ?

What about those stickers on the back of cars that say "Powered by fairy dust"?

What happened to those windscreen stickers that gave the names of drivers and front seat passengers?(Sorry, I have been asleep for 30 years).

Hey, I have three personal plates, all of three letters plus 1, so I must be mega-naff! Only snag is that the plates are worth more than the cars they are on, which detracts somewhat from any good image!

How about "Baby On Board" stickers?

[tonyav]

stewey, yes NAFF.

[Prudie]

What about those purply downlighters on the underside of the car? In a moment of madness I actually fancied those myself once (OH has just told me they're illegal).

[tonyav]

prudie, there NAFF.

[TheBaBas]

Babe on Board stickers....because when you see the person driving they can be described as many things, but babe is most certainly never one of them.

[stewey]

Another naff thing is those idiots with graffiti scrawled all over their cars who chase you down the highway The graffiti usually says "POLICE", and I'm sure that the lights are illegal.

[FredPuli43]

Be fair. Baby on Board was meant to tell rescuers that there is a baby in the wreckage of a crashed car. Otherwise they might miss it. Of course, that is probably not the reason that proud parents display the notice, but that was its function.

[tonyav]

Yes stewey, very NAFF lol.

237SJ they are dump valves, oddly enough they are not there just to make a "wooshing sound".

I was totally against personalised number plates until I saw one last year.
My whole surname using 55 followed by my initial. To others it looks just like a normal plate...unless you know me.
Very impulsive and a little extravagant.

Makes me laugh when you see a 10 year old car with a huge exhaust, sounding like a sports car "speeding" past at a top speed of 40mph driven by a reversed baseball cap driver!

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Have a personal numberplate on our Saab. It is a number 1 and the first three letters of our surname. It cost £450 last year so no big deal. Naff or not I like it. Its a bit of fun.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Gold alloys on Subarus. It looks vile.
