Default What car club is This???

Ive noticed lately a few cars with the "transformers" symbol sticker on there rear window, and today saw one on a mazda's bonnet.

Ive been told they are a car club that are mostly sleepers, being that they look average from the out side but are worked to a high degree in the engine department. The person who told me said they are mostly small cars like Pulsars and ET turbo's.

Can anyone confirm this and name the car club??

In the picture its the one on the left

Theres a guy lives near me in a Maroon ED Gli with a gold Tranformer logo (That red one) on the bonnet.

It by no shade looks or sounds to be worked or even a sleeper.....

There's one I know of here with the Autobot logo (left one). Doesn't look good at all on the outside, interior looked shoddy.

EDIT - FYI, it was a Pulsar that had the sticker.

I know a couple of guys who had those stickers on their cars. I think it is more clothing label related or something like that. I know that neither of these guys had modded cars.

Besides, what would be the point of everyone having a sticker tellling people that they were a member of a car club for people with sleepers. Kinda like a guy I know who had a fairlane with a 460big block and a sticker on the back that was a Z in a speech buble. You look at it and think - oh, a sleeper.

Looks like a chopstick eaters club logo to me (Probably not politically correct)

I think they might be just popular stickers.

A mate from work with a Liberty that's part-riced and part-pimped got some gold ones for his rear 1/4 windows. He's not part of any club, he just got them because he liked them. They actually suit his car too!

Yeah, raced a pulsar the other day with one of those stickers in the window and there was nothing worth mentioning under the bonnet. That is, I didn't wait for him to catch up to ask!

Maybe its a secret society type thing like the Masons. Next time you see one of these cars check if the driver is wearing a suspicious ring and performing dubious handshakes with people....

Yeah I've seen them. They aren't sleepers. They're just normal cars that turn into giant robots when their owner yells "Autobots! Transform!".

bwhahahaha I yelled that at my car and nothing but my cat running away happened. (cat as in Meow cat not catalytic converter)

I see loads of cars from falcons to imports to even some eurotrash come into work with them. I think its something a group started doing now people copy to be cool.

danny ive seen that same car, its been into work once or twice
