Badly modified cars thread Mk2

[Pixelpeep7r]

^^^ what you two said.

'be patient, i'm lowered' referring to speed humps.

Well how about not modifying your car so much that you can't do anything other than crawl over any slight change in road surface thickness.

Either that or stop being a cheapskate and get some air ride suspension that you can raise for day to day use.

What are these all about?

'Chavs have field day now they realise the passenger side window is now free from pesky obstructions such as tax discs...'

There is something similar to that says BECAUSE FORD or because something, I asked my step daughter what it means and it's an online joke and means because it's a ford. Am I being stupid for still not getting it?

well that's an obvious fail as half the buggers never had tax to begin with...

A fat lad who works in my local Tesco has a "scene" Honda Civic with a "Dapper" sticker on the windscreen, a faux-stickerbombed grille, lowered on white alloys and a "HeavySet" sticker -


I'm sure that if he'd avoided all the modding he could have afforded a Type-R plus the extra insurance but instead he's stuck with the badly compromised Grandma-spec.

Sometimes I feel like taking him to one side and explaining this but maybe I'm missing the point.

I fkING HATE those kind of hilarious messages on cars. Or anywhere for that matter. Another one that gets right on my tits (no pun intended) was the oh-so-fking-hilarious "lower than your nan's nipples", usually stuck on some stupid "dub-scene" POS.

But that^ one is a close second.

Even more of a fail because they can't abbreviate "them" properly.

I give you the Beetle....



Nice zebra style side skirts, chelsea flower show inside the car, lucious eyelashes. But wait....there's more. The piece de resistance.. E.T. on the roof!!

Well yhat's certainly a few steps further forward than the yellow one that's local to me They've stopped themselves at the roof box of flowers but not gone as far as the decals, etc

It might well be the same one, Alex.

The car is getting worse, and the driver has switched supermarkets...




...I took these back in March 2014, at the Sainsbury's store at Watchmoor Park, Camberley. Fewer decals, and Muppets on the roof instead of annoying cute extra terrestrials. But definitely the same car.

Don't think I have posted this on here before but spotted this ages ago. Takes bodgery to a whole new level.

Is that to keep cats off the roof, perhaps? It doesn't look permanent.

The 'Because' thing started out with "because..... reasons" i.e. responding to a query with non-specific reasons. But the 'because' has become a meme in itself and can be tacked in front of anything as justification of why you do it.

I thought it was on the back of the Because Race Car meme.

[feef]

Because race car came after because reasons. It was one of the first follow on because memes.

I reckon you're right there. A good idea, especially as it's only discouragement for the cats and not dangerous.
