barefoot Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Look at this braindead idiot, borrowed from VZi (I have a VW, I have to visit) Anyone able to define what mint actually sounds like. My new custom exhaustI say new, it's not but it looks it. I bought it from a mate who had it custom made for him,it's fucking huge and sounds mint! I already love it! Apparently this is actually fitted to the engine and not just lobbed under the valance. Anyone for any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Is it still possible to buy the twin peashooters that Beetles had when they were new? I can't remember the last time I saw a car with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Dick. Heads. I am soooo sick of slammed beetles and fucked up Karmann Ghias. Peashooter twin exhausts on a Beetle went the way of proper hubcaps and ivory plastic steering wheels and brain cells in Volkswagen owners. It irks me that I have chosen a T25 as my camper van but it is resolutely staying as it was built and I keep WELL away from that scene bollocks. Fed up with splitties (what the hell are those safari windows all about? ) and ludicrous Bay windows owned by people with painted wellies and purple hair. I chose a VW because of its inherent qualities not because I am a crusty layabout, beanie hatted "scenie" or beatnik wannabee.

saucedoctor Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Aint all bad though. One of my mates turned up an old Moto-Lita steering wheel that he'd had back in the 1970s on his Porsche 912. He was going to dispose of it, but I stuck it on eBay for him, and a DubVictim gave him over 400 notes for it, without even knowing if the boss was correct. sutty2006 and dugong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I personally do not give a fuck who does what to what. Having enjoyed "scene" cars of various descriptions with varying levels of acceptance over the years, I'm probably precisely the kind of scene twat mentioned in the title. Sorry to piss on everyone's chips, but Autoshite is just as much of a "scene" as the Caravan Club or Trampdrift.com. Just with different values. Differing values will always inspire hate.

HillmanImp Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I don't mid a bit of 'scene tax'. A car tastefully lowered properly can look nice. For instance I really appreciate the Polo 3 lowered (not chopped) with a nice set of wheels. However I do have to say that mongy exhausts like the one pictured by the OP are pretty daft as are any mods that effectively personalise the car to such a point that its never going to be taken on by anyone else as the cost to turn it back to normal will probably outweigh the value of the car. But ho hum, each to their own. Its always been the same but with a different craze for each generation. morris_ital_lover, Mr Lobster and Magnificent Rustbucket 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have to agree with h-imp that there are some nicely modified VW's out there. Some of the work done on beetles and van is really nice even if i'm not the biggest fans of the cars. In other cases it's some of the shittest.

Station Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Found a set of BBS centre caps in the scrappy. They had been stored in a Perodua, but someone must've taken them off wheels nearby and then collected them once the wheels had gone. I paid 10 quid for them and they go for 80 quid on ebay.

John F Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I disagree that Autoshite is a 'scene', we don't focus on any particular make or style (OK, there are a few AR and Citroen fanbois in here, but they keep their perversions to themselves as a rule). I find it hard to hate the kids with their scene dickhead chariots though, most of them just haven't grown up enough yet to realise that they can't just copy 'individuality'. And as mentioned above, some of the more discreet and tasteful modifications can look very nice. (Anyone driving a car with those absurd splayed wheels fitted should be immediately gelded without anaesthetic, though). sutty2006, chodweaver, Spiny Norman and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticvandan Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 there is a bit of scenery to be found on autoshite,usually to be found in making a shite car a bit shiter,but this usally involves not dressing welds after repair,ducktape seat covers.the other side is getting a beige giffer mobile and adding vehicle watch stickers,walking stick on the parcel shelf,beaded seat covers etc "for the look" Jim Bell, Angrydicky and flat4alfa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporty-shite Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I don't mind the various scenes as such, but it's the patently undriveable, dangerous shit that some of the major players* wheel out, and the amount of virtual cock-sucking that accompanies it, that tends to have an effect on the temperature of my piss. I agree that AS is a scene in itself, but so what? H8RS GONNA H8. Banger Kenny, flat4alfa and scruff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Norman Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The difference between the AS 'scene' (if such a thing exists at all - which I doubt) is that we just like to run and celebrate the slightly aged, the whiffy and the unloved, rather than actively encouraging modifications to cars which at best severely limits their resale appeal and their ability to function as cars, and at worst actively makes them dangerous and gives 'car enthusiasts' a bad name.I've nothing against people modding cars as such, the first car magazine I bought regularly was Custom Car (not just for the titties, honest!) but some of the abortions you see really shouldn't be on the road. How would something like this react if the driver had to suddenly brake or swerve to avoid an obstacle on the road?
