I suspect that the majority of us own, or have owned a piece of clothing branded with the badge of a favourite classic. I’m not suggesting that you went out and bought it yourself – Christmas and birthdays provide an excellent opportunity for friends and relatives to wrap up any old tat just because it happens to have a Porsche logo on it and, either out of politeness or pride, you will wear it.
Of course, the caps, fleece, t-shirt and embroidered handkerchiefs are actually an easy way to demonstrate your enthusiasm for a marque – hopefully you have the badge attached to an actual car in the garage as well, but for the purpose of being out in public and nailing your colours to a mast, that isn’t necessarily essential.
However, there are enthusiasts and there are devotees, those who take their passion to the next level and whose actions would probably make most of you wince. Yep, I’m talking about the dedicated few who are prepared to be scarred in order to show their undying love.
Admittedly, this topic may well be as far left as it can be from C&SC's core demographic, but I bet there are still a few of you who are prepared to wear your heart (or your favourite car badge), on your sleeve – well, under it to be precise.
