Title: This is hideous
Post by: CM690 on 19 July 2011, 19:13
Just been looking at some videos of Mk3's on youtube :p and came across this horrid mk3. It's just too low, terrible wheels and look at that exhaust  :grin: :sick: :sick: :sick:

I appreciate the work that's gone into it though don't get me wrong :) I just think it sounds and looks terrible :drool:

Speaking of PVW I might pick that up today when I go out to the shops later  :laugh:

Nope.

Tis an exercise of what they can do and what they can do is absoloutely amazing stuff. Their brasilia/squareback whatchamacallit looks pretty much the same and is lovely.

Afraid not mate, needs different gears in the Lenco to motivate it properly! Possibility of popping up for a day but don't know if I can be bothered!

A car is to drive me thinks, not to look at. That car is undrivable at anything over 30mph, it has the turning circle of a truck and that exhaust is just pure gay.

I appreciate the work gone into it, but sorry it's  :sick:

Clearly never ventured over to the aircooled world then, exhaust is stinger for show/drag and not for road use. Get on their website and look at what went into proving mad sh!t can still be done by normal, hard working people unlike most of the vdub scene which involves a brand new car, air ride and a cheque book turbo...

ffs  :rolleyes: why does it have to be practical???? its not like its a daily driver! its a company demo car to show their skills.

Was gonna say the same as above. This isn't about practicality - if it was it would be a road legal car.

All about showing what can be done and having some fun whilst doing it. I mean fck me the conversations we have down the workshop about building stuff come in way more radical than this. Current obsession is building a tubular frame and dropping a mk3 body on and running a rover v8 to the back wheels. We could do it, but it wouldn't be practical......

Pulling ability aside, where the hell can you drive that other than on the motorway? I know damn well id get stuck on just about every road in my area if it was mine.
