    Why do people with modified cars drive up and down every single main street in the country non stop for hours on end?
    And with the music blaring so the people not driving behind you get annoyed as well?

    Not trying to start anything here. Its a genuine question.

    why do people in BMW's not know where their indicators are?
    why do OAP's drive at 4mph?

    its all part of life, some of them do and some of them dont.
    dont let it bother you and get on with life because we could be dead in the morning :D

    I do know what you mean about the lil scumbags driving round though, not many of em on boards, well not that i've seen, people in this part are just people who like Modded cars, and to be honest this Forum should be called Performance Motors because barely anyone actually talks about modifying their car!

    They don't really and they ones that do you try to avoid. Ever try explaining to a girl why your ''black bonnet that doesnt match the rest of the cars colour'' is actually carbon fibre and has a purpose?!

    It's always ****ers with ****ty 1.6 Corollas with dust-bins for exhausts that do that. Annoys the **** out of me. If you want to mess around in your car - **** off somewhere with nobody around. Don't go speeding through the middle of the ****ing town. I often think about going out and parking my cars in the middle of the street like one of those traffic calming things so the ****ers have to slow, but they'd probably love that. They'd think it's a ****ing chicane.

    If I was a Garda I'd have a field day with the little *****. Just walk up the town with your hair drier and I guarantee you could meet your quota with the first snot rag you pull over. Odds are the ****ers on a provisional license, speeding in a car with several illegal mods that are undeclared to their insurance company.

    If you want to enjoy your car, a quiet (preferably emtpy) main road is the place to do it. If you really want to enjoy your car - go to a track day. Keep your miserable little **** - heap ex-pensioners car out of my ear-shot.

    /rant

    calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean......

    That said, the exhaust on my daily driver is too loud. :o I think the muffler pipe is loose and rattling like the bejebus...

    Couldn't agree more. Either the main street or any branch of macdonalds that has a reasonable amount of carpark.

    People on boards dont do that and I hope not to attract people like that

    You'd be better off stopping them in the street and asking them, all of them are young lads with low cc old cars with bits off airplanes stuck on them, the only interest they have is drawing as much attraction as they can from 15 year olds, there not the kind of people of have an interest in properly modding or owning a performance car which most "modifying" communities online are about.

    Agreed, modifying suggests that its about sticking a bodykit and a big exhaust on when it is not! The press has tarred the entire community under the modifying name.

    mad into the done up cars meself.
    (both modifyed performance wise and (tastefully) style wise aswell but when we're on lunch at school it annoys the b******s out of me when a few of the lads in my school spend an hour belting up one street and down another.
    love their cars but there are better uses for your petrol!!!!!
    thanks for the venting opportunity OP!!!!!
