![]() However, doesn't the adhesion strength of the sticker get affected by this? Have you tried this personally? | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I did it twice once team BHP sticker and the second the graphics of the left side of the car after accident. I did not use a scale or plastic but use the class cleaning external wiper as shown in the picture. I used it because the rubbing or pressing surface is flexible and smooth. There is no effect on the adhesive on the wet surface and I did not feel the problem with the graphic sticker as well as team bhp sticker. |

| ![]() Shocking incident happened today when I was returning from office. Just after crossing the Ambience mall toll at Gurgaon towards Delhi I see a flashing of beams 2-3 cars behind me and see a Maroon Santro closing in fast on my IRVM flashing headlights like crazy. Now I was in the third lane from right on this 4-lane highway and had cars on both the sides. The driver of this santro continues to flash headlights tailgating me closely at a speed of about 60-70 kmph. I brake a little suddenly (drive-brake-drive procedure within 0.5 seconds) and then continue driving to educate this guy my way on how dangerous tailgating is. But he isn't one who's gonna take it lying down. This guy looking angry as ever in the IRVM sweves hard to the left most lane (you know the 5th lane which is not even a lane) and obviously wants to get ahead of me. I'm still in third lane and while he tries to catch up I accelerate further in my own lane to tell him that he hasn't got an AMG. Within moments I'm decently ahead of this guy but having experienced my share of road rage in Delhi I'm back at 60-70 kmph not wanting to take it any further. Now comes the best part, this guy is again catching up on me and I'm almost certain that he's gonna cut me and brake just ahead of me. So I strategically place myself on the third lane behind an SX4 (in the 2nd lane) so that when he cuts me I just move to the 2nd lane. Not disappointing me any further he overtakes me from left and then cuts me while braking but as anticipated I just move to the 2nd lane and this guy cannot go any beyond because of the SX4 just ahead of me in the 2nd lane. I give the guy a chance to heal his crushed ego so that we both go our separate ways but not before I see this DL registered Maroon Santro (5408 was the reg no. if I'm not wrong) sporting an LTD sticker on the rear windscreen. Now this gets me thinking. Its rare in Delhi that a non-bhpian would sport an LTD sticker so was this guy trying to say hello on the expressway by tailgating me dangerously? But if he is a bhpian then how does one explain what all happened afterwards? Dude with Maroon Santro, if you are reading this please think about your actions on the road today, it was dangerous and simple plain stupid. Please do not jeopardize yours and others safety on the road with the kind of heroics that you performed today. If you were indeed trying to spot a fellow bhpian then please think of another way rather than tailgating them like you did today. I'm sorry if my sudden braking procedure upset you (I'm not proud of it but sometimes people tailgating me, like you were, just gets on my nerves) but everything that followed after was just not bhpian style. Hope you reached home safely as I did see you going zig-zag all over the expressway after our encounter.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I'm convinced that some of these guys actually believe that the T-bhp stickers actually add on 15-20 bhp & a whole lot of additional stability to their machines ![]() I'd really be interested in hearing what Braveheart has to say, not that I'm expecting him to pop up on this thread ![]() |

| ![]() Today I Saw a Black Fiat Linea with Dark Filming all over on the cement stretch of the Mumbai-Pune Highway. Spotted it first near the Nigdi area and followed it all the way till the Pimpri Finolex Chowk where it took a U-turn. Was with my friend on his bike when it overtook us. The first thing I saw was a K and N air-Filter Decal.and Immediately I saw the team-BHP.com sticker on the rear Number plate. Its only sticker. I asked my friend to ride fast and follow it. The car was quite ahead already. Took this quick on-the-move pic with my Nokia. the Car regd. was MH-14-BR-8855 (*tried peeping inside but couldnt see due to the dark filming. Moreover both of us were almost at 90kmph following you! ![]() Who are you PCMC registered BHP-ian?? |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Oh my God!! The car has already taken the brunt of that kid's stupidity. You can see bumps of the roof (top left, over driver's seat) and the antenna also seems to be missing. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Saw a grey Indica V2 Dlx yesterday while getting out of EGL Campus, wore good looking alloys, could not click a pick. I did flick the lights but i guess the guy did not notice. Do we have any signal mechanism like flashing 4 times continous. |
