I also remember listening to Kiss 100 FM when it first came on air - some very cool tracks they played, and Lisa I'Anson had a sexy voice. I had a pair of their stickers in the back of my Minor Traveller (long since removed!)

They go on your windscreen wipers supposedly to make sure they stay on your screen at speed.
