Re: What's this all about ?!?
I can remember many years ago when some people drove round with a tiger's tail hanging out of their petrol tank.
It was part of a advertising campaign by Esso (I think). The catch phrase being "Put a tiger in your tank".
Some years later there were those plastic fingers you stuck on the bottom of your boot lid to make it look like someone was trapped inside the boot.

As far as I'm aware it's something that was originally popular in Japan where they used to hang toys off the back of the car so people could see the horizontal GForce when power sliding...
Not likely to see that happening with chavved up 1.2 Corsas down at McDonalds though

Does anyone else recall the bullet hole transfers you put on your windows?
Here's the clincher - was it Texaco or Shell giving them out?

I sure do, also remember my old mans transit van having a dashboard full of smurfs when they were given out free with National Petrol, think that was 1978 !!?
