"Scene" twats.

[Parky]

There is a good social scene attached to the Dubbers, seems like a good way to make friends both in real life and on the internet.

 

Personally I can't see the appeal of running an old car and joining some sort of forum to swap ideas, stories and tips.

 

Oh....

Is it just me, or are the wheels on that Audi really nasty?

Aye, they look like a knock off of some Rotiforms.

 

Here's the real deal (still not to everybody's taste, mind).

 

[Split_Pin]

eBay coilovers + Shit wheels + stretched tyres + obscure/ironic stickers = "Built".

[RayMK]

Inspired by doilies that my granny used to put cakes on.

Those wheels are about 2" too wide for those tyres, hence it looks shit.

[Jams]

I like that!

[Guest Hooli]

I would, if the tyres fitted the rims.

[sierraman]

Are stretched tyres safe?

 

I see a lot of these dubbers driving about in stuff that makes this bizarre asthmatic sound as they accelerate. What is this?

 

And why have they all got beards?

[Vince70]

I've got some landsail tyres on the rear axle of my Z3 but honest I never bought them..

I can say I wouldn't go out of my way and buy a set and if I had a choice I would of had some uniroyals stuck on it but for a cheapo Chinese tyre they seem to stick to the road ok in the dry but the things must be more plastic than rubber as I can't get them to wear out..

Then again I do have a sidewall on my standard wheels and if your spending money on some clown wheels for your motor surely you would shop around and spend an extra £15 a tyre and get some decent midrange at least.

[sierraman]

A lad at my work had an A4, he was looking to up the performance and he had it chipped then put some new Landsails on the front. A real perfectionist he was.

Not according to tyre companies, which is why they recommend rim widths their tyres will fit.

 

Probably fucked or fucked around with.

 

Tramps.

People have been fitting stretched tyres to rims for decades. It's nothing new.

[robinmasters]

You won't get a proper answer to that here. Try asking on the blue forum.

People have been fuckwits since we fell out of trees, that's nothing new either

[chaseracer]

If they used VW Beetles it's no wonder they lost the bloody war. By the time they got them started we'd already reached Berlin

 

We didn't.  The Russians did.  Possibly not with Ladas.

I can't comment on scene twats anymore. My c2 will probably end up with a stickered wing as it's the cheapest option to cover it all when the rust bubbling has been flatted back.

[Barry Cade]

I stay the hell away from any kind of "Scene". The "biking" scene is much the same. Gixxer boys with colour matched leathers in one corner talking about that 160 mph tankslapper, other corner is the chopper folk, all with dirty denim covered in patches. Then the Ducati lads with not a hair out of place and watches that cost more than my house. BMW GSers with more accessories than a branch of Beaujangles  talking about their next adventure...a run up the coast for a cup of tea. When I'd stop for a bacon roll,I'd just stand in the middle wondering what the hell was going on.

 

Thank F*ck I'm a loner.

[Negative Creep]

having seen their dashcam videos I've no idea how the Soviets even managed to drive out of their base without crashing into something

[Barry Cade]

You're in the camper scene now.

Nooooooo..... My bonnet is staying turqoise, steels are staying, no chessboards anywhere and I'm parking as far away from VW's as I can.

[DodgeRover]

Properly seated they should be fine and are an MOT pass (possibly with advice they look daft and to buy the right size next time)

 

Not properly seated MOT fail and nuns and kittens must die, and they go flat.

 

It's to save the world from razor blade pollution.

[Barry Cade]

You've mentioned your expensive fridge on here a couple of times.

 

It's a slippery slope.

LOL, That's to keep my beer cold after I've travelled 2000 miles to drink it in nice surroundings- rather than a field in Swanage to chat to other hipsters about slammin' ( no g) and rollin' coal. Warm beer is not acceptable..nothing scene about that?

 

I'm even scared of the Rover 75 club now. Bitchy!

Sounds like me too.

 

Leather jeans & open face like a hardly rider, big naked bike that doesn't fit most of the normal groups as it's never clean & gets ridden. Bikers are strange aren't they?

There's a lad with a scene twat golf that lives just down the road from my mum. The front bottom is out cleaning it every time I go round there. Oh did I chuckle when I noticed the wheels had fowelled both back arches. Polish that out sunshine

[chaseracer]

Even more betterer...

After reading this thread I may need some help as my V Hickle seems a bit "scene".

Rust:- Definitely. 

De-badged:- Yes, but accidentally, honest.   Lent to mate who put dent in back and badge fell off. Front, because of heat in Portugal dried it out to the point of disintegration, along with the binnacle, although no mention of binnacle "scene" yet. Phew!

Towing eye dangler:- Yes, but in my defence it is a bakelite handle from a chain pull toilet.

Antenna stuff:- A spiral of rusty metal ALL THE WAY UP!!     More ratluke, aargh!!

No bumpers:- Taken off to straighten out, and some pikey shitbag robbed for the scrap.

I may be doomed ! 

HELP !!

[DodgyBastard]

Military vehicle paint - check

Forced Patina - check

Chopped springs - check

Aftermarket rims - check

Debadged - check

A roller paint job is one step away from the scrapyard isn't it?
