Whats With People These Days?
« on: 15 November 2003, 21:21 »
Went down town to buy some clothes today and I saw many modded cars, most just had exhausts and alloys though... anywayz... here is the list of MODDED cars

Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 12v "R Reg" (LARGE exhaust only)
Fiat Punto 1.2 16v "51 Reg" (Full bodykit, exhaust, alloys, lowered, brows, mesh, spoiler, tinted film for windows)
Ford Focus 1.6 LX (Moulded bumpers, exhuast, twin headlights, alloys)
Vauxhall Nova 1.4 SR (usual crap neons etc)
Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 16v (bodykit with mesh and exhaust)
Peugeot 106 1.4 Quicksilver (bodykit, exhaust, alloys, lowered)

So as u can see each car except the first Corsa (lol) had a fair bit done to em... BUT... this is what im getting at: -


THERE F*CKING SLOW


The Focus is the fastest and its 0-60 is just under 11secs (10.9???), 1.2 Corsa... hmmm 14secs?

DEAR GOD WHAT ARE THEY THINKING???

And also... why are lasses just putting big exhausts on small engined cars and thinking their cool???  (Corsa 1.2 12v anyone?)

Its becaues of max power n the like what makes everyone think that a big bore exhaust n alloys makes ur car go really fast!Even old men with mondeos that r c-r-a-p put alloys on!

I only ever drove a corsa cos i needed a courtesy car n NEVER AGAIN.I felt like i was driving on the bonnet,i was that close to the steering wheel! Lasses only do it cos their b/f tell them to!

Maybe mummy and daddy couldn't afford the insurance on decent cars so they saved for the bodykits and extras with their birthday and pocket money?  ;D

theres lots of that round here too.

just on the weekly trip to the drive-thru saw a corsa, and a nova and a fiesta with stupid fin thing on it.. a rover with thats "look at a me i'm a twit" blue LED things on the washer jets.. *yawn*

we have a local outfit called "sc performance" who do a lot of the stuff for the kevs around here.. they do have some nice cars. but there are some awful ones too

Its because there are no more young cult cars. the powers that be have managed to erradicate anything out of the ordinary or shoved a 20k price tag on it - putting out of the reach of modders.

Mk2 are the ultimate (IN MY OPINION) cult car, but lets face it - they aren't getting younger. The Mk3 didnt exactly step to the fore to take the mantle, it sort of stumbled on the way and fell down a manhole. The Mk4 is a dozy creature who didn't know there was a cult thing going, and the Mk5 is just a waste of space. Or as we say. A BMW.

But what is todays cult car?!

Nothing.

I would love to of seen Citreon and Peugoet develop low cost cut down versions of the WRC like Scooby did and does.

Thats why I have become NISSANMAN!!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
