When a shopping trolley doesn't fit in your car

colm_c

In the spirit of stuff that doesn't fit in your car, I seen this at liffey valley this afternoon.



The shopping strolley is somehow stuck/clued/welded to the rusted roof. :eek:

MetzgerMeister

It's a redneck roof rack

TheColl

ahem... scrappage deal... ahem...

when a micra looks good beside your car, surely it's time to change!

Ha, I only say that car on the M4 the other evening. It's one of those rat look cars, guy driving it needs to cop-on he was driving like an @rse :rolleyes:

SV

Ha. The lad that owns it is over on fci.
I'll let him know your opinion NeilW

biko

I like what he done to the reg plate. Very "devil may care" look.

Poly

It looks like Mad Max's school-run, pickin-up-the-messages car.

Someone needs to alright, he cut up two cars crossing to get to an exit at the last minute. Nice maneuver

RevOC

Also I'm the so called "@rse" that drives it, if ya don't like my driving, blow me dick

I'm all for the "rat" look, can look pretty good sometimes, so thumbs up for doing your own thing, but your attitude here sucks, and if you did pull off that maneuver as described please don't do it again. I wrote off two cars when the driver in front of me tried (very unsuccesfully) to avoid an arsehole who decided to cut across two lanes at a motorway junction :mad:

I'm not up on the latest fads, but is the "rat" look is where you deliberately make your car look shít?

BTW, I also saw you driving like an ass, in Leixlip.

"The rat rod is the visualization of the idea of function over form. Rat rods are meant to be driven, not shown off. Sometimes the customization will include using spare parts, or parts from another car altogether"

There appears to be a re-curring theme here with the driving skills though...

OP, maybe you want to consider a less distinctive looking motor.

Actually, never mind. You'll be driving a tow truck as soon as an off-duty/unmarked garda sees you pull one of those stunts.

DrivingsCool

its about time cars like this came on the road!

Everyone got very stuck up with the new Wealth.

Bring back the laugh and the bit of craic.

Diabhal_Glas

Whats written on the back of this intriguing 'rat rod'. I think I can make out "pump up the volume".
How is that "roofrack" attached?
Any more customisations besides said "roofrack" and numberplate?

corktina

whats written all over it is " Target for the Traffic Corps".... if you want to drive one like that, make sure your paper work is beyind reproach and your driving likewise...

dirtydiesel

Do you have to put a token in the trolley to start the car?

I don't see any "unsecured metal poles" sticking out of my roof, and the car is in the gargen infront of me

What's wrong with having a distinctive looking car?

Too right, life is too short to be stuck up and give a ****, take a few chillaxatives and enjoy life

Yup you read the sticker correctly, there used to be a decent ICE install in the back, but it's all been removed since

I have lino replacing the carpet, and fake grass floor mats

Dear Lord, shed of the week, OP should post this on barryboys I'm all for having fun with a car but only in the right circumstances, cutting up other drivers just shows ignorance and a lack of proper experience on the road, it's not fun or courteous to other road users...then again I don't think you give a toss about other people RevOC, given your posts here :pac: :rolleyes:

Easy now, you're getting very close to personal abuse there.

Eric Cartman

mate of mine owns that, hes a mad man, it was originally an intact red clio when it started, the trolley is kept on with rivets, the cars been impounded by the gards before (unsurprisingly) , its actually hillarious the amount of stuff thats been done to that car, when he first put the paint on a bunch of people with chalk drew knobs all over it

annialationn

well in rev lad, love this car, its the most different car i have come accross in a long time...ever screw the haters, keep up the good work

then there would be this (in)famous one:

You gotta love the people who register solely to defend RevOC...

As long as its safe I don't care what you drive and I'm sure its a laugh.
You must get some looks of bewilderment though... and alot of people saying
"How is that POS allowed on the road?"

As you said yourself its a fun car for taking the piss, so don't get so offended when people give you the exact reaction you're trying to provoke

stealthyspeeder

I think the rat looks suits old skool 30's to 60's american hotrods (the guys who invented the look out of necessity, as every cent was spent on the engine!).

I think the rat look on 80s and 90's european cars just looks like tack of the highest order!!

Muckie

Thought it suited the more retro classic cars alrite, seen it done to a few
Ford Cortina's in Oz and the Odd VW beetle. Otherwise its a rusty piece
of junk, but i suppose each to the own.

I personally dont mind what the car looks like, infact fair balls for keeping something different on the road. But its the indifference to other drivers in terms of road manner and general awareness that causes issue. If thats the case here someone needs to check themselves.. Besides that the car is pretty fun.

Have you had any hassle from the guards? like have they pulled you over to see whats on the roof etc?

Don't assume that just because you don't like the look of a car then nobody else could either. I, for example, would sooner look at that Clio than another 520d with MPack any day.;)
