I am a high mileage driver, and have been conducting painstaking research regarding driving misdemeanours over the previous six months.

I can catagorically advise that in the following instances:

1) Hogging of outside motorway/dual carriageway lane at frustrating speeds, oblivious to following vehicle
2) Acces to car made impossible in supermarket car park owing to offending vehicle being parked 50mm away from offside
3) Visibility through rear window severely restricted owing to menagerie of fluffy animals on parcel shelf
4) Complete bewilderment and consequent imobility at mini-roundabouts
5) Faliure to switch on headlamps even in torrential rain/thick fog
6) Pink paintwork/headlight "eyelashes"

.....in 93.2% of cars bearing a car sticker, that sticker said "HEART"

Sounds about right.

no taste in music-no clue about driving !

Being unable to park straight - 96 Trent FM.... (Do Capital Radio have car stickers? There are loads of Trent FM ones round here but not seen a single Capital Radio one!)

Car stickers are surely old hat as a promotional tool these days?

Radio Jackie still dish them out and offer £107.80 in a competition which seems to never ends.

I was thinking about radio car stickers when driving on the motorway the other day. Reckon there must be quite a few tonnes of car stickers at the scrap yards as theyre no way near as visible as they were 10 years ago

Who had a Beacon Radio 303 car sticker back in the day?my dad did on his Austin Maxi! and the difference with Beacon's car stickers is they had the names of your town on them,ours was Stourbridge,but i saw Dudley,Sedgley,Walsall,Stafford ones as well!

So this is another Heart bashing thread?

SmartProgrammer, Mapperley Ridge, Station ID especially and everyone else that abuses me... where are you all?

See very few car stickers these days. I used to have a 96.4 fm BRMB sticker on the back of my saxo in about 2000. I believe it's now changed its name to "Free Radio Birmingham"

I still have hundreds (nearly) of unused stickers, pictures, pens, keyrings, Pepsi Target Tuners, programme guides etc etc here at home from my 'collecting' days of the 80's and 90's. Need to find them a new home as I'm loathe to just dump them.

[trevgo]

I had a self customised sticker in the back of my Escort Sport in 1980 in the days "cut & paste" meant precisely that, saying " Crapital 194* ", so my history of hating the station is long and proud

I've seen some Capital stickers in both Birmingham and the East Midlands although few and far between.

In the East Midlands I've seen a lot of Gem car stickers - helped by the tie-in they had(/have?) with Sainsbury's.

So if Heart bashing is so popular, what does that tell you?

This from someone who actually LIKES music, not continuous repetition and adverts.

I would gladly take them off your hands for you,i collect radio memorabilia,so they would be looked after with care

I thought Capital 194 was the heydays for the station,why did you hate it and what did you listen to?

Saw a Radio 10 Gold car sticker on a Dutch truck the other day at Hilton Park services!

Gem 106 still dish out £106 if you're spotted with a sticker

I like the Heart label things that they give out to businesses that say "Open for business and listening to Heart". The thing is in most cases they either have no music on at all or are tuned to another radio station.

Irony! Haha

I can remember a time when Radio stations were cool, and many had a local identity which you were happy to be associated with.
I cant honestly say that about a lot of commercial radio nowadays.
I realised this when I bought a rather nice second hand car and the first thing I did was scrape off the sticker (Not easy) for a well known radio brand that I truly despise

They dished a load of these out in Market Harborough where you can't hear them on FM and DAB reception is almost non existent. So surprise surprise it's not heart on the radio either

I had one of the original white Beacon Radio 303 stickers on my car not long after the station opened.
The bad thing about them was that the glue was on the back instead of the front! So within a few weeks of nasty UK weather the logo faded totally and my lovely Beacon Radio sticker became a blank white square on my windscreen!

How do I get a Heart 106.2 sticker? You only see them on Ebay now!
