The original designs were created by 'Very Cherry' and it's a pity that he isn't posting on the forum so often nowadays. He's very creative and very popular and his other graphic work can be enjoyed in many member signatures bearing the mark 'VC' or two small red
bollox cherries. The forum T-shirt baton has been picked up by 'Moschops' Wayne, very ably helped by 'Mrs Moschops' Sonia.
If you had said to me when I first started writing reviews for this forum that I'd write one for a T-shirt, I'd have said "You must be joking!". But I was so impressed with the T-shirt, I suggested it only as a joke because I thought the T-shirt I received was so good, but Wayne encouraged me, et voila mes cheries:
^ Front of size XXL.
WHY HAVE A FORUM T-SHIRT?Quite apart from having a relatively rare T-shirt design which looks cool on the VeeDub scene, it shows you are a proud member and supporter of this forum. If you meet someone who is interested in the forum but can't remember the full web address,
and you're wearing the T-shirt, it's embroidered on it!
^ High quality embroidery showing legibility.
ALTERNATIVES:
AVAILABLE SIZES:
MEN: S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL
LADIES: S (size 10), M (size 12), L (size 14).

^ Ladies version. Black also available.
^ Showing ladies fitted style on a Californian blonde. Aren't
all Californian chicks blonde?
INSTALLATION:Straightforward (unless you are Pixar-Disney's Mr Incredible): Place your head through the largest hole and push head through to smaller hole so it fits around your neck. Push your arms through the remaining smaller holes.
MAINTENANCE:Machine wash up to 40C after every 1,000 miles and use a mild colour-safe detergent but no bleach. The T-shirts are 100% cotton including the embroidered artwork. Do
NOT tumble dry! Although 'Mrs Moschops' has done so on a low heat and there was no subsequent problem.
PLUS POINTS:- Extremely high quality standard of manufacture Fruits Of The Loom base T-shirt - A very well established and highly regarded brand.
- Extremely high standard of embroidery which is long lasting and has intense colours.
- Unusual and original design.
- In black, looks very smart even if casual.
- Shows off your enthusiasm for the forum and all the other car enthusiast saddo's who live on the internet.
- Easy to
install wear.
MINUS POINTS:- Black versions, also being heavyweight high quality,
may feel hotter to wear when the weather is very hot.
But black works for the desert-dwelling Bedouin, I hear you say. This is because Bedouin robes are worn loose and hence allow flowing air between robe and skin.
^ Technical illustration. Would you believe that a group of scientists actually researched this theory.
- Wearing any car-related T-shirt might brand you as immature by those who are crushingly boring and far too grown up. Who cares?
^ Your missus may not like it if you get too carried away wearing car related merchandise or indeed lavish too much attention on anything to do with your chariot!
SUMMARY:So far, after road testing for several hundred miles in both daylight and at night, I can find no fault....
If you are a T-shirt wearer (I wear one nearly every day) then what's not to like? You can buy cheaper T-shirts but not of this high quality as a garment.
^ 'Greeners' Nathan (second from right) even wears his on top of other clothes. Fortunately he has now stopped doing that with his underpants.
