I don't think he is.

I think he's a status symbol enthusiast. He'll soon get bored of fake cars and move on to fake watches, fake suits and fake women. He's the sort of person you see rinsing his Capital One credit card in the VIP area of a crap club in somewhere like Rotherham on Grey Goose and that overpriced Champagne.
Thats a bit harsh! Ok his car choice isnt yours but its his choice and if hes happy then leave him alone. He posted pictures up but I suppose he didnt expect everyone ripping him to bits.

We've all been young once and Im not sure if I'd have done the same when I was his age - there were only those god awful Covin 911 reps when I started driving.

What a ridiculously unfounded and judgemental statement. Disliking the car(s) is one thing but these kind of defamatory comments are entirely another, and in my opinion are going too far.

We all have different reasons for enthusing over cars and it's not for me or you to discredit others for their particular reasons, the important bit is as stated above: he has an interest in cars and bothered to show us what he's done. I sometimes think a car thief driving a well kept and original car would be better received on here!

'Dodgy choice' understatement of the century.
You're right. The Frontera was bloody awful.

Have you bothered to read the thread before dandying in on your high horse, both cars were purchased modified, the audi has just had a respray and new wheels.

The cars are chav mobiles, and examples of good modified cars are aplenty as well as bad. Good ones are taken generally well by ph, bads ones not so well, that is the 'vibe' in this internet melting pot.

This really
Ive literally just walked past it and the guys I was with almost jizzed when they saw it so I guess it serves its purpose, only real car fans would know its not real I reckon.
OP well done for not rising to it although I guess you don't come on here anymore.

If you post your car up for critique, you have to accept that all the comments won't be positive.

Yes, fair enough, but it didn't stop at the car.

That still doesn't really state anything, as the op stated the cars have been bought modified. I am not getting into a 'hand bags at dawn' with you, just pointing out your statement has flaws.

That's fine but character assassination and getting personal about his/his families house isn't fine.

It shouldn't be this difficult: The OP had made various changes to the A3 including a complete colour change.

The photo speaks a thousand words.

Indeed, not called for all that. Also can't remember the name of the poster but to state that OP is not interested in cars and all the rest, is one huge assumption on your part.

Whether to your taste or not the OP does like his cars albeit not to the taste of many people here on PH.

A chap I know used to drive around in a modified Austin Allegro, it was done in the most ghastly fashion. He was young at the time. Anyway, I saw him a few months back diving a Merc. CLS AMG in the same way it left the factory, totally original etc.
People do change in time, and people do 'stretch' the truth now and again.

At least the OP did endeavor to respond at the beginning of this thread, after things mothballed he just pulled out altogether.

tbh this thread got very uncomfortable very quickly...... PH is going down the pan imo..... This quickly turned into nothing short of bullying imo...... some disgraceful comments on here.... Ph mods you should be ashamed of yourselves for letting this go so far and become the public bullying session its become, this site is about cars, not about how someone looks or where they live.... Disgraceful.
