I picked F. I don't generally go for car stickers as I find some are just pointless, but insaying that, there are some witty ones out there.

I went for my ends always meet, liked that the best and was surprised it was one of the least popular. Would go with my existing one "Save a cow - eat a vegetarian"

(Land of) Maz · 05-05-2009, 7:21 PM

i went for E - lessen the recession..... topical!!

mind you i would have opted for one that said "visit MSE.com, my friends live there!!!" if there had been one!!!

Amber07 · 06-05-2009, 2:20 AM

C - Just because I like it and this place will do exactly what it says on the tin....er I mean... sticker

Ps...How do I get a car sticker???

A MSE car-sticker doesn't make much sense to me.

If you really want to save money- sell the car- get on your bike. As a bonus you get fitter, improve the environment and help to make the roads safer for everyone else.

dubledee · 06-05-2009, 11:31 AM

I voted for C. it seems about right

digitalsgirl · 06-05-2009, 1:39 PM

I like
B. Give yourself some credit
cause as well as advertising the site, and being about money, the other meaning of it also reminds you how well you are doing at facing up to, and fighting your debt. We all need a little bit of praise and encouragement at times.

Unless of course you are like me, disabled, living in a village in Cornwall that it not serviced with public transport, with a child that goes to a "local" school 10 miles away, with the nearest town for food and supplies 20 minutes car journey away, with supermarkets that do not offer delivery to my village!

Not always as easy as it seems, being anti car!

you could have got one here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...61#post3369761
but as is the purpose of the poll there's not left and new ones will be arriving at some point after the poll results are in

I voted C because I thought it would attract the most people - who doesn't want something for free? although I really like B too

waterhouse_melons · 06-05-2009, 6:27 PM

so are the car stickers coming back then?

MONEYMAKINGMUM · 07-05-2009, 1:11 PM

Is it going to be that yucky yellow or something more pleasing on the eye?

mau408 · 07-05-2009, 2:36 PM

I didn't vote as I thought I could think of my own alternative slogan.

'The driver of the car infront uses Money Saving Expert for Tips, Trips and Tricks.'

suchard007 · 07-05-2009, 8:12 PM

Have got both stickers on our family car - they cause great comment in car parks! What's wrong with the current ones - apart from the fact that they've run out - I think they're brilliant! "If it's not broken, don't fix it" - simply reprint in my opinion! Whatever the new one is though, I'll be after one if I can !!

EmehEm2005 · 07-05-2009, 8:16 PM

Never been struck on "Legally Rob a Bank". I have voted for (like many others to my astonishment) "C. Money for nothing – tips for free"

mljcbsn · 07-05-2009, 10:02 PM

I prefer A. It's eye attracting, easy to read and understand. With this slogan, I would remember this site and check it frequently when making some family decisions.

Yes, unless of course you are like you, in which case you're right. But for the vast majority of people I stand by my original post. I'm not 'anti-car'. I just think that a lot of car users do so unnecessarily, and they could save money , improve health and the environment by cycling. There will always be situations where car use is better, and your unfortunate situation is one of those. This doesn't however take away from the fact that if car drivers were to really consider their options that a lot of things would improve for a lot of people. Your situation is not the norm and i sympathise.
