TBH, I've seen so many young guys with cars more expensive than mine, but when I'm in the 190E with my aviators on, sunroof open....wow.. the ladies stare, I've tried the same in more expensive cars and it just doesn't happen LOVE IT ! I'll def chuck on something 80's!

Hi! I'm Sheriff John Bunnell! (Retired) Posts: 1,584 Group: Members Member #1,567 Joined: August 3, 2007	Well I've got the aviators and authentic looking "Top Gun" T shirt (or the Back to the future one). Should be able to get a mullet wig from somewhere so I'd be up for it. And my car's already got it's genuine 1980's wheels on (and it's 1980's colour.....)

It would be lke an extra incentive for attending. However Im located in Ireland so a little harder and more expensive for me to attend GTG's etc so it would be permitted to post us over some if us Irish wanted to purchase some lol

Steve Posts: 7,525 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: November 1, 2005	i have the glasses too just need the wig/hair and was thinking of a moustache too just bought a new shirt and it has the 80s style bits on the shoulders so that may do

I am NOT a brummy!!! Posts: 1,416 Group: Members Member #1,627 Joined: August 18, 2007	What about just having the glasses? I think everyone should be able to find some aviators of some description. We would look like a load of 80's porn stars!! phil
