Dont know if your the same but ive noticed lately alot of cars with soft toys hanging from under the rear bumpers.. and thought what the hells that all about??..

After a bit of reserch i found it originated from japan where drifters would hang cuddly toys from there rear toe hooks so they could try and see how much of an angle they could get the toys....

Thing is ive seen them on small fwd cars and even 4x4s..

does make me laugh..

So should we having powerful rwd cars have toys hanging from our zeds and try out some drifting??

I too have noticed that recently.. seems like every other car in the Birmingham area has a tatty smurf hanging from the rear.

same around these parts, Smurf's been available at Mc's thats were they came from.
when i was younger i once had a Garfield cat stuck in my rear window, it was the thing to do back then.

Some people have them on the front of their mode of transport.

Truck divers have been doing it for years.

Yep! I remember a friend who bought one on eBay years ago to hang off the back of his Corrola. I didn't like it then, I certainly don't like it now lol.
