Apparently this is modified? Looks more like it's been crashed into and collapsed.
A little update on this, perhaps he commutes via rail.
This tyre stretching business has gone too far now.
I've been informed by my step daughters boyfriend that it doesn't even drive, he trailers it to e events!
It arrived on my Facebook this morning in all its glory!

Doesn't even drive? Colour me surprised.I've been informed by my step daughters boyfriend that it doesn't even drive, he trailers it to e events!

It's actually starting to look like a trolling pisstake. They need a bit more camber so the tyres don't actually touch the ground and then it would be perfect. It's just too difficult to believe that someone can want to spend time, money and effort on that without a trace of irony.

This thing has been hurting the internet all weekend. Some additional photos from a recent show:
It is trailered, as opposed to driven, because it can't be driven. It's clearly had a lot of money, man-hours and thought go into it to get it looking so.. er.. different.
Two schools of thought on this:
1) If it's a Lupo GTi it'd be an awesome waste as they're rare anyway
2) If it's not, and if it's a diesel say, then it's an awesome waste in any case
The fella who owns it has been all over Faceache saying it's his build and he's doing it to go against the grain etc etc - but to me it looks like all the things people collectively exercise within the VAG 'scene', amplified moreso for excessive internet fame (you know what they say about publicity). And to that end, the owner has accomplished all he wanted to.
It is by far the biggest crock I've seen at a UK show - and I've seen a lot.

It gets to a point with show cars that I start to wonder if the original point has been missed, then again maybe my outlook on cars, shows and modifying is so different to theirs perhaps I have missed the point.
I used to go to quite a lot of American car shows when I first bought my Mustang, these days I seldom bother. Seeing a car, rolled off a trailer at the start of the show and winched (yes winched not driven) back onto it at the end defeats the point for me, it isn't a car if it is not driven as far as I am concerned. I swear some of them only have the MOT’s with a running engine so that they can claim that it is a car and not an ornament and keep the points for having everything working.
