Lord knows the discerning petrolheads out there will already have one if not several automotive themed t-shirts taking up space in the laundry basket. Indeed, having brought you features on Slick Attire, Import Bible and various others, crankandpiston has done its best to help bolster that collection.

It would be remiss though not to mention Petrol Threads. As well as the pretty awesome name, the guys offer wide-ranging styles of automotive attire. If, for example, you’re the kind of person who wants just a car – no more, no less – emblazoned across your chest, then you’re window shopping in the right ballpark.

 

Then again, you may be the kind of enthusiast whose passion and encyclopaedic knowledge are only truly demonstrated with something slightly more complex and arty. Once again, Petrol Threads have got you covered.

Maybe a picture just isn’t your style: you wouldn’t dream, for instance, of throwing your petrol-soaked cap into the manufacturer bear pit by emblazoning a Mercedes C63, Porsche 911, Ferrari F40 or Lamborghini Miura for all to see. For you then, the written word might be the way to go.

Perhaps a compromise: one car shot from a very subtle angle, minimalist style but with plenty of ‘design’, and a cheeky racing number thrown in for good measure. Et voila!

…of course there is quite a few to choose from even then…
