It's a 996 Turbo, six pots are what it should have had out the factory. The GT3 brakes fit straight on with 997 turbo rotas.

Lol, well spotted, GTR is on eibachs BUT! No spacers, they look a bit bell...
I doubt the Porker is standard ride height either biggrin

Decent pair you have there, ride height/arch gaps looks spot on smile
Both lovely cars Jim, and looks great. Respect the mods you have done to them both... but in the spirit of the thread

Lowered cars - bellend

You obviously haven't read the number plates on cycles yet then. That one really takes the Peek Freen

Tinted number plates innit.

Clear sign you’re an absolute bellend.
This one. Saw one the other day immediately thought speed camera evasive.

Are they legal?

I fell out of love with my Chimaera when I was stuck waiting for a level crossing to open for what seemed like ages. It was in a narrow street and I could imagine the residents vibrating inside their houses.

I’ve swapped it for a totally standard example. I still feel a berk in it from time to time but that’s not the cars fault. hehe
Sensible drivers turn off their car's engine when stationary at level crossings.
It's a TVR. He's probably worried it won't restart. wink

Yesterday I saw a BMW where the right hand kidney grille had the M Colours not only painted on the grille but actually represented by coloured led strips. I had to google it to be sure I wasn't seeing things and yes....its something you can actually purchase!!



They obviously really really wanted to make extra sure that everyone knew their 520d wasn't just any old 520d!! I had a good chuckle to myself!

Having your engine remapped so it popping, banging, and farting like a group B rally car.

Saw a mk2 focus st in the supermarket car park the other day doing around 5mph and when he lifted off all hell broke loose out of thd exhaust. Started calling them wker maps.

I’m afraid there’s a grain of truth in that. In my youth I had cars that you didn’t push your luck by turning the engine off anywhere that it would be inconvenient for it not to start again.
Another old habit is not putting my seatbelt on until the engine is running. Could be a wasted effort. hehe

I think that's why I don't like auto stop/start. Took many years of driving aging BL products gives me a nervous twitch when an engine cuts out laugh

I remember going out and making sure I parked on an incline big enough to bump it.

A few yeas ago an aerosol anti-camera spray on was advertised in some of the motoring press.It was, from memory £65 but had two significant disadvantages: 1) It was illegal. 2) It didn’t work.

Squiggly writing on the windscreen, or anything that says “because Zafira” or something similar seem pretty popular with the hard of thinking right now and look stupid. Provided the mods aren’t dangerous though (e.g stretched tyres fouling arches), I say carry on. I’ll just sneer and chuckle to myself.

However I think the hottest trend in bellendery right now is outrage at anything you happen not to like, and demanding this be banned, and the general the sanctimony that seems to have infected the whole of society. Plenty of examples in this thread.

By all means sneer at something you dislike, point, laugh, but ffs stop the “think of the children” bullst at things that are - on the whole - harmless.

To summarise:

Stickers you don't like are popular with stupid bellends.
People who think others are bellends are bellends for thinking it.
It's ok to discuss bellends and laugh at them, so long as they're antics are harmless, which most are.
