gritineye Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Rally plaques aren't what they used to be, so apart from weighing them in, or giving them to the kids (telling them that they will be worth a fortune one day) have you found a good use for them? Here's one use I found earlier, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 When I first started entering events, on a M20 motorcycle, I made a board up as did a lot of others in the classic vehicle world. It did not take long to fill up, then another one, the rest went into a shoe box. I have just turned the box out to take a pic of a few of them, dating from 1983 to date, this is without the pile of W&P and MVT Southsea plaques. Looking at them reminds me of some now defunct events and some good times. Not sure I would like to weigh them in for scrap, etc. Knew a guy once, who used them to make shims. I can remember at one time, classic vehicle owners asking if shows were going to give plaques and if not they would not enter ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teapot Man was squatting in the back, since he moved on the lack of steam caused the canvas to shrink, something had to give.....(sorry folks, in joke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
