Stickers for our forum......

[Billybob]

Yes if I remember correctly somewhere I recall seeing a reference to either Damlier's or Diesel's original German patents where the title was "Oel Motor" pehaps with a oomlof or two! I haven't been able to find it again so I can't vouch for the historical accuracy of my interpetation. But that where I got that part of the idea from.

Obviously the MB represents Mercedes Benz and is my small but tasteful and understated surrender to the snobbery and exclusivity of the breed!

I was thinking about what someone said earlier in the thread about being able to recognize similar folk while driving and thats why I thought that a simple relativly easily spotted and recognized design would be better. I know that I see every MB on the road now and I figured if your tooling along on the highway you don't have time to really read anything even if you could see it. When your cruising along and you find yourself in a wagon train of MB till the next rest stop, exit, or diesel fill station you'll know it must be the Sticker! And then again if someone where up close to a car the "Oel Motor" and "mercedeshop.com" would get some attention and spark some curiosity and maybe conversation.

My original thought was an oval similar to the counrty of origin stickers but a circle might be just different enough to make it more recognisable. I thought that the "mercedesshop.com" could wrap around either above or below the "D" in smaller lettering so someone walking by would have no problem reading it, but I think if you make it large enough to read on a moving car it would have to be much larger if bumper stickers and my eyesight are any indication!

But I just thought I throw my ideas out there and stimulate some disscussion whatever the design ends up being I'll be happy to wear it!

PS: They are the cling type, and in the image of the MB SHOP wrench.

Everyone,
Bill let me know that Mercedesshop.com has cling-type stickers that will be coming out soon. But, if there's enough enthusiasm for our own separate ones, I'd still be happy to get them done. If anyone believes that the Mercedesshop.com sticker is enough, please voice that opinion. Thanks

I vote for a separate diesel sticker.

[Green Machine]

I second the warden re the diesel sticker.

I too vote for a "gettin dirty with a diesel" sticker.

Id definitely love a diesel sticker... Counbt me in for anything, lets just make it classy and cryptic, but not so cryptic that the local non-dieselers cant figure it out in a minute or two

I too like the idea of a separate sticker for diesel owners. A couple of ideas for acronyms or slogans:

1. Old Diesels NEVER Die
2. DOA (stands for Diesel Owners Anonymous)
3. SSC (stands for Soot, Smoke and Clatter)

For whatever it's worth!
