Exactly what it says, really.
Amateurs. As in "persons not qualified as engineers, and not employed in the design and development of motor cars" who decide that, despite the extensive testing, the wind tunnel development time, computer modelling, simulator rigs, etc, that all costs millions of pounds/dollars/euros and thousands upon thousands of man-hours, that they, a mobile phone salesman/double glazing installer/call centre operator from Bradford/Cardiff/Southend, actually knew the answer to building the perfect Skyline/Passat/CLK/Astra all along. Amateurs.
That argument is retarded and you know it.Amateurs.

Hmmmmm 
Care to explain your reasoning on that one. I see plenty of evidence in this thread which backs my assertion, and none whatsoever which is likely to prove yours.
I'd like to enter into evidence exhibit 1 for the defence...
...moronic AMATEUR(s) ruin several fine Porsche motor cars to create an abortion, then kids himself that it'll fetch £45,000. See? Now let's see your evidence to the contrary.

There's a rather obvious reason for that; you might want to reread the thread title.

I got as far as two pages into that. Then I managed to stop laughing, picked myself up off the floor, and quickly came back to the relative safety of this thread, where we post what looks like pictures of exactly the same cars as the ones in your link, but instead of fawning over them, we (correctly) pour scorn on them.I fear you really are serious about introducing the contents of that thread as evidence for the prosecution, when I am confident that it will simply assist me in my defence
I'll admit that one or two of those cars look really nice. But they tend to be the ones that are externally identical or at least similar to the original unmodified cars. And the one's that have been mechanically altered? The few I looked more deeply at simply swapped one manufactured drive train for one from another vehicle. The others seem to have been done by professionals. So my disdainful comment about amateurs f
king up previously decent motors stands 
ETA: I particularly liked this comment...

Do people pay these guys to fk up beyond all recognition, their cars for them? I've got half a mind to call Trading Standards!

It seems that these 'modifiers' have been staying up far too late smoking 'special' cigarettes and watching too much "Pimp My Ride".

Lovely and Ghias are still very cheap when you consider the rise in value of some air cooled VW's. Way prefer the coupes to the convertible Ghia's.
