Always thought it would be 'cool' to do a UK / LDN take on this by using an old District Line 'deelybopper' thing...  Finding one might be tough these days though. |

I know I'll probably sound a bit of a thicko, but what's the point? The Bosozoku Tribe were proud of their criminal activity. In Japan, where everything is so prim and proper, stealing a handle off a subway train was one of the most badass things you could do. To blatantly display said subway ring on the back of your car is basically a f**k you to the authorities. |

So it's a trophy thing, I wondered if it was something like that. Japanese lightweights .

 I had one on the back of my 100a, I bought it off the late great Mr Dontellhimpike. I still have it hanging up in my garage as a tribute to him. |

To blatantly display said subway ring on the back of your car is basically a f**k you to the authorities. Thank you! Never realised what it was all about, that's pretty cool. Makes me wonder if actually having one that has been bought, not stolen, becomes a bit contrived though..... |

It does somewhat defeat the point, but the sentiment is there  In more modern times it has been used as a universal measure. If you can hang it from the tow hook and lay it flat on the ground, your car is plenty low enough |

... I had one on the back of my 100a, I bought it off the late great Mr Dontellhimpike. I still have it hanging up in my garage as a tribute to him. So then you´ve got homework to do now. Please measure what markbognor has asked in the original posting!  I'll get the measuring stick out when I get a minute. |
