I am so glad I am too young to fully remember the 80's!
I do remember some of the above mentioned things, but as a dim faint recollection.
Praise the lord!

how could you all forget those snazzy little stickers that went around the locks on your doors, saying things like GTi, XR3i and Metro etc. My friends dad had a escort convertibles (in the blue colours loads came in) and he had escort on his door looks. Sweet as!

What about all those joke stickers?
"(insert group here) do it in (insert mildly amusing place here)"
"My other car is a Porsche"
etc etc.
I once saw a 911 with the "My other car is a Porsche" sticker.

I am so glad I am too young to fully remember the 80's! It wasn't all bad, just like the 1970s which are now considered ultimately cool, and (trust me on this one) were only partially so at the time. Want a cool thing from the '80s? The A-team. Want a cool car related thing from the '80s? The hot hatch space race.

I've got one of the ULTIMATE 80's accessories....probably the absolute epitome of 80's 'add ons' I'm saving it for when I get my MR2 finished...it'll look so at home in there. Not sharing what it is though - you'll have to wait & see Rear window louvre? or a hekenblende (sp?) Well....no....and errr.....no. It arrived this morning and boy am I excited! Can't believe I can get more excited about this than most of the other stuff I've collected for the car! Ladies & gentlemen, I present to you the ultimate icon of 80's accessories....a genuine, original 100% authentic Feu Orange freshener: I've been looking for original ones for over a year...and finally found some the other day. There are still a few left on eBay if anyone wants to get in quick - old stock and 'once they're gone' sort of thing....might be worth a punt if you want something truly 'of the era' in your motor.

Anyone remember those little plastic men ..they mooned the driver behind you? They sold those at my local BP, they were called 'Mr Seymour Bunz' I had a fake foot (probably also from the BP) Hanging out the back of my Datsun 180B. I actually got flagged down by someone and 'told off' for having it.
