Being Low..

Featured Replies

Part of the fun of having a lowered car is hearing it bottom out at every other small dip in the road

As long as it doesn't affect me,I don't care.

I keep my distance from vehicles in front,so I can hold a steady speed whilst the fool in front has to accelerate between belly-scraping. If they've chosen to modify their car in such a way that it's a pain to use then that's their problem.

Unless I'm in a hurry,when I'll overtake. Because,despite being 40-50mm down, I can.

But if they cause a problem,like hit someone or something whilst trying to avoid a pothole,or obstruct an emergency vehicle because they can't get out the way,I'll knock them out cold.

I'm getting bored of being so low now, i'm raising it up soon - it's completely impractical through winter and makes driving less fun!

i find it funny crawling over speedbumps and pissing people off behind you :badgrin::badgrin:

too many moments of embaressment :/

getting stuck on a curb in a car park, not being able to drop a birdy outside her front door making her walk bout 15 mins cos all the speed bumps down her road, not being able to get it on the ramp at the garage

and this, hitting a manhole cover

:/

all embaressing but funny & in the name of dubbing ;)

my polo seemed to have 6th sense not me,i was on chopped springs (dont hate the player hate the game) with no bump stops thanks to rolo ;) whenever i went out in it,it used to bottom out just to let me know there was a nasty pothole ahead :lol:

i ripped my exhaust off dropping a girl off once,just drove off leaving it on the speedbump to cool down,dropped her off,went back and put it in the car drove home very discretely :ninja: haha

i'll always rock a lowered car, so much fun!

the sound of a good scrape or a knock is dreamy! i could never drive a car that isn't slammed again! my brother has just bought a lupo and that next to mine just looks dafthigh! i love being low! ad for all those honda driving haters out there, i have one of these...

Ha i need to get one of those, where did you get it from? I dont find it too bad coz u just look like a tool if you go bombing it through areas with speed bumps anyway. Lowandslow is the way forward.

i dont know! he just brought it round, i think he found it in belgium, but I'm not sure!? sorry!

its kind of comical so i dont think people get too offended! :D

haha yer man

i was jsut parking up, & there was a missive bang, so i reversed, got out & there was a fuck off hole in the ground & the cover & its bed had been shifted forward ahha

lucky it was grass otherwise my car would ahve been fucked

hit my wishbone :/

i was on chopped springs

according to the laws of club polo you should be dead by now.

:lol: :lol:

Ben where'd you get that hand from?! :unibrow:

Lowered cars save lives.

You have to go so slow over humped zebra crossings etc you'd never knock anyone over :lol:

Taxis are fun to wind up, its work men at 7.30 in the morning that dont see the funny side of things.

Birds never really say anything, just laugh if it bottoms out.

The guys at work are annoying, dont understand modifying cars at all and constantly contradict everything :doubt:

could have put it better my self !!!!

i love going over speed bumps...its even better when people are behind you and if they piss me off ill go even slower...

had someone come along side me the other day going "you went to slow over that speed bump" i was like WTF its there to slow you down!! tosser :D

I've just been out and raised my car about 60mm. Looks very iffy but its a much faster car because of it - driving down roads without risk of bottoming out and being able to see more have made a difference.

I wanna do that with mine, but 14x8s with uber arch gap would look TOO stupid.

its funny when u drive a lowered car u seem to have a 6th sense for pot holes

ooh yes, and do you say ouch if you hit one?

and being able to see more have made a difference.

:lol: i'm a dispensing optician and i've never had to tell a patient to forget getting glasses and go raise their car 60mm to help their vision :lol:

it can get annoying being low but you put up with it just because it looks mint,

I'm not bothered what other road users think, I'm not going to risk damage to my cat to go faster over bumps, so if they want to go round me go round me.

Its annoying as shit not being able to get over speed bumps. Fine in the Lupo as its sensible but the brick is just a disgrace, it cowers at the foot of speed bumps.

you really need to get the rocket launcher fitted to the roof, blow the bastard speed bumps right out the way

will probably leave you with a bigass pothole to deal with though :lol:

Gigantic metal skid pan underneath would be ideal. Just get a good run up and slide over it!

seriously why did you drop it so much :lol:

i have a simlar thing. love my gt and how low she is. but went on a first date with this lass the other day and the first thing she said to me was..." what happened to your number plate"? lol ( have completely smoothed lid with plate in window). i cracked up, dont think it impressed her. then it was a fairly bumpy drive home. you become more aware of how bumpy it is when there is someone in the car with you that cant appreciate it. was quite funny!
