Its rife here in Aus ... aussies like to fit carpet over the dashboard wtf !?!?!

Makes me chortle whenever i see it

Funny isn't it. I think it's because sometimes dashboards can crack when the car gets really hot, so the carpet is there to stop that. Looks shit though

Its a very odd hablt isn't it, bits of tacky looking carpet stuck on with superglue, but apparently its a real status symbol in the car world

I gathered it was something to do with the heat,agreed tho'....it really does look shite

weird aussies

My car has carpet on the Dash

I have no carpet whatsoever in my house

pmsl

so do you keep the hoover in the boot ?

Lee

Hahahahhahahaha.

Good idea actually.

oooh.. my friends in Perth have this! I was a bit intrigued when i first saw it.. thought it was very 1982!

She told me that the dash gets way too hot otherwise...

Em x

I'm going to put artificial grass on mine. I've got a flower sitting up there now, so some grass should look lovely.

Not so funny in the heat of summer

Still remember the days of towels on vinyl seats

Crack your dash and you will know how expensive it is


Good time to also warn people about not leaving animals or children in the car - even for a moment with the windows up.

Oh absolutely. But it still looks shit

It's not really an Aussie thing, I think you'll find that most normal people would consider it a pretty 'bogan' thing to do.

'bogan' is an Aussie thing isnt it ???

I've just never seen carpet in the inner cities, only when I've been out to the country towns.
