They might not be BHPians but that doesn't mean they don't love their machines.

Sorry for interrupting, couldn't resist.
To me, whoever doesn't follow street/ Tbhp/ social norms and rules is a 'fake' Bhpian. He may be a member or not, to me he is definitely not a Bhpian.
That said, members should exercise caution while passing on the stickers, as they represent us and should always give right signal.
Maybe one or two training sessions would suffice. I am sure after the sessions, only true material would remain interested.
Cheers,
Abhijeet.

Toaday's spottting:

An Arctic Silver Safari EX. I trailed you from near Muttathara Junction to Eanchakkal Junction, where you turned off toward East Fort. Yellow LTD on rear windshield, transparent URL on rear number plate.

I was in the blue Vento TDI just behind you (nearly up your tail-pipe due to the traffic ). Tried flashing, but got no response.

Who are you?

Abhijeet.

It is not just members who distribute stickers to non members. Any body who knows online shopping can buy a Team-Bhp sticker. He/she need not be a member of the forum to buy one.

If indeed there is a need for only members to be sold stickers, why not have a set of stickers that can be bought only by the members?

Just an idea. The point is any body who wants a sticker can today get that done pretty easily. Are nt there places where you can get stickers made of any design you wish?

Its a free country ! Every one has a right to follow or not follow a particular thing. I myself have just now been accepted as a member, in spite of being hooked to this forum for years. Its better if we first do something about 'fake' 'live to drive' stickers ! I have spotted 4 till now, all on taxis and autos.

My sister-in-law spotted this red Ikon (KA-22-Z-2727) at Trinity circle this evening around 4pm. I've never told her to spot Team-BHP stickered vehicles, but I guess she recognised the sticker as I've the same one at the same spot on my car

The h4WK eye effect is rubbing on to your loved ones too I guess. As goes a popular malayalam saying 'Chandanam Chariyal Chandanam manakkum'..

At first glance on that number plate, I thought this was one of those images where someone has photoshopped the plate to conceal identity. The sort of cloning we do - first half of the plates cloned on to the second half! Every digit- 7, 2, Z looks similar!

Spotted this Punto at the Deloitte parking lot (C-block today morning). Who art thou?

[promit]

Spotted this purple Verna DL 3Cxx 5445. Your car was parked by the side of the mg road opposite the bbt showroom at about 6pm wednesday evening. Bad place to park mate, people drive like maniacs on this stretch. Should park in the slip lane. Who would you be bhpian?

I agree. Probably a sticker that says "I am a Team-Bhpian" or something to that effect that only a member has access to. Also segregate the sets of members/nonmembers for eg. the LTD sticker could be omitted in the non-member set which IMHO is the most popular of the lot.

Yesterday morning, I spotted TN 33 white Corolla (old one) with black and red LCLC sticker in the middle of rear bumper, in front of Hindustan Uniliver office near Whitefield Forum Value Mall.

2 days ago, I spotted a dark grey i10 parked just outside the SAP Labs back gate. Its number ended with 6772. It had redlining sticker on the right side of rear bumper.

Spotted white Ford Figo reg TN xx x 5758 at Richmond road Bangalore. Figo had LTD and URL on the door and GBhp on rear. You were asking directions. Who are you mate?

TN02 AK 0319 - Silver color WagonR parked at RMZ Millennia Phase 2 on Friday, July 27th 2012. I work in the same company where you'd parked your car. Pls identify yourself, might be we're working in the cubicles next to each other

[MurtazaGhiya]

Spotted a black Ford Endeavour on Baner road, just ahead of Sindh society going towards University circle. It had the LTD sticker on the right sight of the car.

Couldn't get the number or a snap as I was on the other side of the road and the car just zoomed past me.
