Some of these guys spend upto £20K+ on their cars getting them fully chaved up.. either that or they are skint and they get a government grant to turn mundane everyday cars into automotive abortions.. certainly gives us something to chuckle about so I think we should applaud these individuals for being the way they are and making our days that bit more entertaining whilst we continue to ponder what makes them tick.. as for 80 year olds driving them.. glad to see they are still young at heart.. or have had the unfortunate experience of having to borrow their grandsons/daughters car

sparky; errrr, how did you find this thing? Have you been scanning ebay looking at any other "chav tat"? Alarm bells are ringing mate!!!

Mark (lmao)








Go to ebay home page
Click on 'ebay Motors'
You'll then see a list of car manufacturers
Click on 'See all brands'
At the very bottom of the list click on 'others'

You'll find some interesting stuff on there !

Hmmmmmmmm, WHY? Getting very concerned here, I love the back boxes with tailpipes the size of dustbins, so that you can see the size of the original exhaust (pea shooter or "twin bore straws"), chavtastic!!

But yesterday i saw a white M reg highly modified corsa making a bad attempt at parrallel parking. When i looked closer the person driving it was going on 80.

It was the funniest thing ive seen for ages.

Anyone else experienced this??


Went to see my Grandad earlier this year and on arriving I noticed his orrible old Hyundai was no longer on his drive. What happened I ask, "Oh the man at the garage said it wasn't going to pass it's next MOT so offered to swap it for another car for me." what car I replied, "it's the Golf outside on the road" he said. I looked out the window and saw the most god awful chav-on-a-budget job.

Not wishing to offend my Grandad we went out to look at it. A different branded tyre on each lowered corner, more oil on the outside of the engine that inside it. Split and paint chipped front and rear bumpers, heavily tinted windows probably to hide the zebra print seat covers. I asked him if I could drive it round the block and I reckon that a steam roller has more accurate steering. I pointed out that I thought he had been ripped off and he agreed, poor old boy had been blagged into giving up his old Hyundai which was probably only worth £5 but at least he knew it. He was too scared to put the VW on his driveway which is why it was on the road.

I was so annoyed now that I called my dad up, he arrived a hour later and we took the car back to the dealer whereapon we agreed to sell it back to him for £600. A simple threat of inviting VOSA to investigate the standards of his MOT'ed vehicles was enough for him to be peeling off the reddies for us.

We gave Grandad his £600 and he was delighted, we all went out and found a tidy automatic Astra for £300 which seemed ok, unfortunately he smacked it up in Lidl carpark a week later and decided to give up driving, well he is 88.

No-one else seems to have noticed that the car in the ebay advert is described as "three door" yet it clearly only has two. Now you can be forgiven for forgetting the mileage or number of owners, but being unable to count accurately to two is rather worrying.

I can understand the maxers...

1.0litre car = cheap insurance

They feel the need to be individual so go about sticking bodykits and various parts on their cars. It makes a standard shopping car look individual.

They love their cars... we have no reason to comment.



Yeah undeclared modifications don't put premiums up do they? Neither does insuring it in your Mum's or Dad's name!

How many cars actually have three doors? Apart from VW campers? I can think of lots of cars with two doors and a hatch, but draw a blank trying to come up with three real doors.
