Jazoli Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 What a fucking mess, I'd run a mile before touching anything on that car, you know something will break/get broken and the car will be sold at a huge loss because the owner has ruined it, people who bolt loads of shit to cars are generally clueless fools who think adding everything in the ripspeed catalogue to their usually crap motors is a good idea.

Raff Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 This is amazing. The blue trim paint job looks a lot like the custom work I did on my Dreamcast as a young lad. AMC Rebel and Lord Sterling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please encourage him to do more stuff like that to the Vectra, he's only doing what any one of us would do if we had the skills.

Schaefft Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Im genuinely interested in what kind of person has the mindset that any of this would be remotely acceptable. Could you give me a description of the owner so I know in the future what type of person I should stay far, far away from before losing it?

Raff Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 He's clearly just a man with a taste for performance tuned Japanese style exotica but with an eye for bargainous German executive saloons on the blue pages. The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbenn Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 He's clearly just a man with a large amount of blue spray paint to use up. FTFY. The Moog, AMC Rebel, Dave_Q and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you give me a description of the owner so I know in the future what type of person I should stay far, far away from before losing it?  I quite often make a point of checking out the drivers of cars with barried number plates etc to see if there is a pattern.  I could offer some statistical analysis but I am acutely aware that I am operating on a random anecdotal sample picture and as such it would be wrong to draw any conclusions.  I have a similar view about cars driven in an apparently random manner without any obvious attention being paid - although I do feel able to say the cause there is frequently attributable to smartphone use. I can say with confidence that it is safer to avoid any vehicle being driven by a person wearing a hat of any kind.

AMC Rebel Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I can only imagine the vibration caused by passing any kind of power through the larger of those speakers. Â Great enhancement to the dodgy sound as produced by the originators of the music - a bit like that old Maccy D advert of the bloke banging on the side of his mate's van to save on an expensive stereo.

louiepj Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Luckily he is a step father in law and has no kids of his own!!The speakers have a strange crackling noise when the stereo is not even on? and I am trying to get a picture of the 'custom boot install' for your viewing pleasure.

louiepj Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Did I mention as well that he went and got the car valeted somewhere and they pressure washed off a lot of his exterior blue paint work in patches. Nice shiny unkeyed silver paintwork underneath though. AMC Rebel, GrumpiusMaximus, Bren and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Â Erm, does he know (or care) that there is an airbag behind there? In the event of an accident he'll likely have those gauges embedded into his face. Mr_Bo11ox, oldcars, J-T and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Great thread. It reminds me of a lad I knew when I was a kid. I sold him a bodykit off something, I forget what. I told him it would fit his Escort and to be fair, it did. Well, it was attached anyway but it looked ridiculous. Skizzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 What are the gauges measuring that's so important it needs to be six inches from your eyeball? It's brilliant, it really is.
