New magnetic car advertising thingy day 

Thought it was about time I actually had a corporate image when I turn up to a booking.

Have you tested what speed you can get to before it flies off?

Motorway didn't seem problematic, so I'm happy they're fairly secure!

A word of caution , magnetic stickers can mess up your paintwork especially on the metallic paint, they leave cloudy patch that is impossible to polish out

I used to be a driving instructor and had big door magnets from the local driving school that I worked for. I lost at least one in my time probably doing 60-70 on a dual-carriageway. I didn't even notice it going.

I also lost a roof mounted L plate box - not the common big ones but a flimsy folding one. And countless magnetic L plates.

My advice is to not leave it resting on a non-flat surface for a long period of time because it will take on that shape and become more likely to let go.

I'd get some of the saucy bomber nose art ones too, just to sex the whole thing up a bit and make it more rock and roll.
