My mate used to have "you'll never be late in a 308" a Sticker that he bought...

I love trying to explain this to Holden fans, they just don't get it.

If you read the entire thread you would have seen my response to that.

They've circled, not put a "circle" around it. When you circle jobs in the paper they are not always round. When cops circle offenders they don't have ten cops holding hands in a circle, it's an interpretation of the word. : Circled as in circular.

A circle is a circle and an Oval is an Oval, You don’t play football at the Footy circle do you.

Ether way the Holden logo has a perfect circle drawn around it> and we all know only poofters can draw a perfect circle LOL

As the Australian distributors of a Car Shredding Brand (Yep, we shred cars into little lumps of steel, foam and plastic) we recently had the founder and designer of the machines come from Europe and he was issued a brand new VE commodore from Avis, which brings me to the point - when I asked him what he thought of the new commodore (after driving 300kms) he just said :

"These are the reason we make car shredders !"

Two stickers that have always stuck in my mind from the mid 70's:
FALCON GT - The Widow Maker (written under a blown up picture of the superoo) and
How fast can you run?... Not as fast as my 3_51!
