The sticker often seen in rear windows back in the day springs to mind. My car may be old, but it is paid for and in front of you. A lot of truth in that and always made me smile. The other window sticker that was popular was: My other car is a Rolls-Royce. I had a sticker in my Rolls: My other car is a Volvo. It is all very similar to seeing folks shopping in Tesco's or the like carrying a Harrods shopping bag. I have actually seen a shopper in Harrods with a Tesco shopping bag - pure class!

Ka rusted for fun, but what a car. One of my all time favourites, an absolute hoot in any guise!!

Looks like it had been designed by a three year old but handled like a go kart.

My StreetKa was immaculate, zero rust, but it was a pampered 20k mile garage queen. Loved that wee car, would have it back in a heartbeat.
