Audi A4: scumbag car

Ubbquittious · 16-04-2021 5:51pm #1

How come these are so popular with scumbags?

Every skanger in town seems to want a black A4 TDi. Slap on a sh1tty Chinese chrome exhaust from eBay and away you go. Did some famous drug dealer I don't know about used to own one and they're all vying to become more like said drug dealer?

Go back to 2007 and type this about Glanzas.

I think I’d add Passat CC’s to that along with 2015 or older 5 series and A6’s, usually in black or white...often found a meter or two from your rear bumper in heavy traffic on the M1 with nowhere to go in front.

How did the Glanza->A4 transition work? Two completely different types of car

I think the young fellas move around in a game of chase with the insurance companies. When they all drive civics and the claims go up, insurers load civics.
Then they moved to Boras, insurers got wise, then passat and A4.
Of course they like tdi cause they can make them Boo.

bazz26 · 16-04-2021 8:20pm

The transition to 4 doors probably came about due to a split in the condom event. Boras/Jettas/Passats and A4s were always big with the agri/felt spec culture.

This is funny, it's like dogs. Fine dogs, but dodgy owners. Fine cars, dodgy owners

1970's Capris - German Shepards ("allers" for Alsaition)
1980's Escorts - Doberman Pinchers
1990's (early) Glanza's - Rothweilers
1990's (later) Passats - Bull Terriers
2000's Audi A4 - American bully's

Impressive when you consider the Glanza wasn't released until 1996. They really were ahead of their time

That's exactly what I meant

They were sort of cool though, the GT Turbo Starlet and the Glanzia, much cooler than the A4. At least they were different and unashamedly brash.

The people who drove Glanzas are in their 30’s and 40’s now. The people driving the VAG arsedragging ****boxes these days are in their 20’s plus I honestly believe they’re a different breed of scumbag these days.

black golf or black passat usually for the knackbag usually no ?

From what I've seen color isn't usually too important. She just has to boo and be remapped.
The blacker the back bumper the better

magicbastarder · 17-04-2021 10:11am

the nurburgring sticker on the back of a 15 year old golf or passat TDi is a dead giveaway for people to avoid on the road.

You're forgetting The CB radio antenna too

ShadowHearth · 17-04-2021 12:11pm

I actually have this little game when I go for walks.

You hear loud music banging out of some car, but you don't see the car yet. 90% it's going to be VW, 8% it's going to be something from VW family like Audi. The other 1% going to be a lad in white Van and the rest is 1%.

And almost all will be rough and looking like they're being held together by willpower.

I always think that BMW and Audi’s get to a certain age when they become affordable and driven by the dodgy types.
Black A6 S lines with 20’s and all the windows tinted or the 520d’s with similar spec and lots of M badges.

No it is, walk through any estate in West or North Dublin and spot the Golf R to find out who's peddling what :pac:

Was out for a jog the other day and had a guy in felt spec Volvo S40 1.6d slow down beside me (I was on the path) and attempt to roll coal at me, and yes they actually call it that.

Can't wait for the day the NCT test for this.

Nct? They just change them back, get tested and **** the car up again.

17-04-2021 2:32pm

New generations. Civic was the car if choice when I started driving. When I was about 30 it seemed to be ****ty starlets. Not it's a4.

The car being cheap at the 10 year mark seems to be a factor.

The last in his 40s that has put thousands into his **** box but still lives at home are the ones I save my point and laughs for

Just a case of changing the map, not incredibly time consuming or difficult at all.

barneygumble99 · 17-04-2021 3:37pm

Thing is you can pick up a 2012 M Sport for about 10-11k, in my head a 2012 car is still quite a fresh car. The same year Audi A4 is cheaper still and both cars are quite affordable (and unfortunately modifiable) to a lot of people. Some people see a badge and think €€€ but not really in the case of both the above cars. In my town, there’s a certain profession that are importing and vrt’ing M sports and A6’s and they’re all 2015/16. Same profession, where the troops claim the pay is terrible!!

I’ve had 3 glanzas in the past, all brought in Japan myself and not a thing done to them engine wise. Was never into the modified scene, never went to a ‘meet’ , never raced them, just a fun car to drive and have always regretted selling the last one I owned.

For me there’s one modified type that just screams scumbag and that’s the caddy or transit that’s been lowered, bull bar and side steps and a light bar on the bull bar with 20’ alloys and fancy number plates.

Some snobbiness in this thread, young fellas will buy what they can afford and in that 10 year old bracket A4s passats and golfs are nicer places to be for sitting in forecourts than other offerings.

Same whinging done over young ones all have the same haircut and clothes no ones original!

It's the is200 that are up to no good in fairness, but they are just this generations twincam.

One drove through lights and nearly hit my car on the front passenger side as the driver decided to drive through the lights when red for him and green for me.

I thought all the buses did the 'roll coal' thing. There has long been a moderate case for wearing a mask when cycling where there are a lot of buses.

Very much so.

The getaway car of choice for many too.

History checks on lots of ones for sale in the uk are apparently eye opening...

Scumbag gets a very loose definition on here by many.

Prices have sky-rocketed. Decent ones were bought for 4-5k not terribly long ago, looking at double that now. They'll go the way the AE86s did, mark my words.

Lexus is200's are the scumbags go-to cheap RWD these days.
