    Very funny Hugh :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

    I bet your kids love you, and I hoped you used top grade vinyl.

    This is my biggest job this week, Pin the carrot on the snowman
    for the kids Xmas school fete.
    I’ve had to send my son to school with an invoice for £900 plus vat to try
    and keep on budget for the week.

    makes the adults smile !! not seen any kids lookng yet !! i robbed the idea from a similar design done on the nose cone of a small jet aircraft, took me about an hour to throw the design together, and about an hour and a half to fiit, didnt use reg markes so its a bit iffy in places, but then people aint looking at that !

    oh yeah, stripped the company name off the car last week to re-do them with a better design, spent hours trying to get a good design, but nothing i did suited the car, either visually or sizually (nother new word) so in about half an hour this morning, i made these up !! i know its nowt taxing to make, nor exactly stunning in the visual sense, but i quite like em now ! anyways, had to have the name on with the silly santa thing somewhere !!

    yellow on green btw.

    i like your design of your company logo looks good on the rear glass dont like the 1/4 though

    i think just the rear window would do
    but thats just me

    cheers Rich, kinda threw that together, just used the tribal bat cos it suited the shape i wanted, and i didnt have time to make anything else that looked ok, regards the rear qtr graphics, i wanted something visible from the side but i dont like using the doors cos it looks like a taxi !

    thats the one dude !! harder to make it work on a car, less creases though !! if i do it again next year, santa wil be longer and wrapped over the fron of the car and not so much on the bonnet, the look on peoples faces is sometimes more one of confusion than amusement !! did have one mum at schol tell me that i was a miserable git !

    well Santa will have to be removed shortly, i do plan to do other seasonal themes, already have easters lined up, but i’m struggling a bit for something to put on it now, i want to go with something silly that will make people remember it !

    i know this is being a little lazy on the thought front, but does anyone have some suggestions for a replacement ? i was hoping to steer away from sprting themes as they’re personal to the fans, so want to really go with something universally humerous,

    anyone ????

    the dafter the better !!

    nowt rude mind !
