Just saw a motor with a lovely set of clown shoes on it..

A reasonably tidy e36 318i, in red,

with: 18" Audi a8 replicas (commonly referred to as RS8's)

They obviously had the pcd modified or drilled out to fit or adaptors made up but it was bloody horrific, unfortunately I had no time to get a picture.

Things like this make baby jesus cry

Ah right! Eh dude what's with the sig btw?!

How do you mean "whats with the sig?" Its a sig.

It was only a 318i to be fair...

Lowest common denominator Bimmer is always going to attract the Badge people without the means to run a proper one or the taste to buy older but better.

Get pics of the Rx7 please Jemmy!

I would have thought the 316i would be the lowest common denominator personally,

But still, I respect that there's countless amounts of tasteless sh1te on the roads, but; I mean disgustingly large, ill fitting Audi wheels on a Bmw, you'd expect a set of blatant chromes or wolfrace katanas but A8s :eek:

Im no bmw fanboy either, had a 5, hated it, lost my bolox on it and I hope its rotting in a field now tbh.

Off to the UK tonight for a motor weekender, camping, booze & most importantly cars. Also got a track day spot tomorrow in Blyton Park

Driving an RX7, 280bhp from Gatwick up to Blyton Park tonight, should be fun (once it's not too wet :-/)

Woop woop, roll on 4.30 :D:D

Good luck with that,isn't Lincolnshire in the epicentre of the 80mm of rain warning? A month's rain in 24 hours.

I'd say the Mazda could outrun the flood :P

I don't think even people with little to no taste would go that far!

I saw almost the opposite on one occasion

Matt black Audi A4 with M3 wheels. Clearly adapters used.

How I frothed at the mouth with temper when I saw that :mad::mad::mad:

Just saw someone on facebook saying that they've had a complete flat tyre for the last week and they're going to keep driving on it until tomorrow because "They've got things to do". Keeping in mind it's absolutely lashing rain out.

Wish I had their reg, i'd call the gards! Lunatic.

Post on their comment "like this if you think this person is retarded" and let us know how many likes you get.

Done and done, well words to that effect. Hope they wreck their car as a result, and by that I mean component failure rather than crashing into anything. Or better yet I hope a gard pulls them over.

Anyone going to Terenure Classic Car Show tomorrow?

pred racer

The rain in paris is becoming annoying, it doesnt normally rain this much in the fcuking winter:mad:
No wakeboarding!
Thinking of sticking an outboard on the clio, sure its mostly plastic anyway:D

Well it has small millage considering the year. A timing belt change within the last 25k miles. They look like the original bumpers, and the panels look fine. It's still a ball of shíte, sorry dgt :pac:.

Same car as this? http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3372122

andyseadog

dgt this is insanity. i hope you didn't pay that kind of price for it.

a friend of mine recently sold his 97 (or possibly 98) BMW 740i for not much more than that. if you want to hack up and act the bollocks with a car, why not do it with a car with a massive v8, leather seats, curtains, a phone etc etc.

*awaits photos, should be interesting all the same... :pac:

Tis a temporary stop gap while we sort something else... Car isn't for me but I might buy it in the end, I've always wanted to do a 1242 16v swap. Have all the bits too :cool:

Exact same car

We actually did... But we went over every bit of it, lots of new bits, well minded, very clean apart from a clearly resprayed wing and scrape on the rear quarter. Needs tyres and a small service!

Fear not its only a stop gap

Our massive v8 here needs to be torn apart... Bloody thing is in the way causing a nuisance!

Got around to washing my car yesterday for the first time in about 3/4 weeks due to many reasons.Car was sparkling....until, they've decided to remove some car park markings and add some new parking lines here in work.

Car is destroyed now in white dust. :mad:
