    Me personally I hate them.

    The ones I hate the most do are the stupid looking one with stupid oversized exhaust and some little spoilt brat driving it the obviously dos not care about anybody including him or herself.

    If I was in Government there would be a law to ban them and if found driving one it would be 10 years in prison.

    A car is designed the way it was for a reason.

    If you can't afford a fast car designed by the car manufactures then tought sh.it.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    There's no culture of it here in Ireland beyond knack bags with crap exhausts and cheap superficial body crap.

    But proper mods are near invisible.. Real sleeper cars are the business.

    Check out an Aussie crowd mighty car mods - they made a supercar out of a Mk7 Golf R.

    2.5 second 0-60...

    Yet it still largely looks stock.

    What's not to love about an exhaust that sounds like a jet engine on a Micra or Fiesta?

    Knobs thinking they're cool doing handbrake turns in car parks.

    The ones that have been lowered to such an extent that they have to crawl over speed ramps are hilarious.
    Don't know how they manage on anything other than a smooth road.

    If it's done tastefully then I like it and I love something with a really good paint job that looks wet all the time.

    I could never understand the thing of getting say a Corsa/nova or saxo etc and spending€20k on it but still only had a 1.2 or less.....

    Why oh why....

    We do need nicer cars here..

    Does your hate extend to LPG conversions, air suspensions and snorkels fitted to 4x4's?

    I don't care much for fellas adding fart cannons and fake CB aerials but wouldn't tar everyone who drives a modified car with the same brush

    I enjoy a tricycle with speakers attached. Breaks the cacophony of crows in court.

    One of my cars is way too low, a brace underneath it pulled a cats eye out of the road one night. One car has an exhaust coming out the front bumper, makes an awful amount of noise and another one has about 1200 worth of a body kit and stupidly over the top spoiler, to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way

    And people stare at them as they go by. They probably think its people admiring their car but really they are thinking what a knob head.

    Yeah it's grand. Causing even more cancer than your diesel car would as standard. Good man.

    Anyone with those goddamn ear-shattering exhausts are CLEARLY compensating for something, and failing HARD.

    Each to their own. I used to love f cking around with motorbikes years ago.

    There's a gobsh1te of a taxi driver round here that modified his 15 yr old diesel Mercedes by putting an AMG badge on the boot. He drives round the town like a loon thinking it is an AMG. He's in his 60s FFS
