EF Challenge: Number plate cushions

Yes, the title is correctly written.

I feel it is definitely a Swiss phenomenon to have a cushion on your rear windscreen that is an embroidered replica of the car number plate. You don't see it too often, but often enough.

I realise that in Switzerland, a persons association with their registration plate can be more "intense" than other countries (ie life long in many cases), but I think this is going a bit too far. Or is it a case of knitting boredom gone mad?

THE CHALLENGE:

Be the first EF member to post a picture of a Swiss embroidered car number plate cushion, and WIN!! Well, you don't actually win anything, except that ooey gooey smug feeling you get knowing that you beat everyone else.

Umm, you can take a picture whilst the subject cushion is stationary. All pictures will be scrutinised for said photoshopping.
