Quick question

Post by Kingswell »

Quick question - Whats with flipping the badges upside down an AX's and BX's? I've seen it done over and over again but only on sheds.

Do all these people actually think it looks better?

Is it a sign that the driver should be avoided at all costs?

Does it happen by accident?

I've heard it was supposed to be a sign of a citroen in distress.

Not seen it done for many years now though.
this might be a signature

There's three questions there ........three possible answers ....
1. Possibly
2. Probably ......due to the car possibly having had an accident,and...
3. More than likely .....due to after answer 2 the car being repaired/resprayed by some ignorant tw*t who dont know which way the chevrons are s'posed to go.

Maybe its to show just how mad for it and random the owner is. They're not boring, they're totally off the cuff! You can never see whats coming, they're a laugh a minute!

I wish I was their friend :(

I was sorta thinking it might be some sort o' secret society .......like the "Masons" or the "Round Table" ........

It is to show the sticking up of fingers. I've seen them rearranged as an"X" as well.

Yes, I thought it was meant to show the 'Agincourt Salute' as well.
