Well said that man

its very true about niches, but i like to thing i can appreciate the work of another even if i would have it 'slightly differently'

one of the best reads in ages, wise wise words

Never knew what jdm was all about... Cool!

Yeah, even between club polo and polo3... We have retro and we have modern.

I like both, but clearly a website made solely for older polos was made for a reason.

Prime example, that. polo3 v clubpolo

I often notice hatred, but we wont get into that...

People are so narrow minded.

I notice this a lot at shows, when talking to people (or just over hearing convos lol)

Facebook too.. someone posting a pic of say, a RX7. And some VW boy just saying JAP IS CRAP. Fuck off and die you narrow minded prick

This needs to be at the top of ed38 forum page!

U'd get shot for posting it on E38

I've said it for ages, no matter what your taste in cars there's always something you can learn from even the polar opposite to what you'd do. Trouble is these days modified car enthusiasts are all too busy calling one another chavs or ricers to really pay attention.

All of which is stupid really.

Picture the scene - a modified car show somewhere in the UK.

Owner of heavily modified Fiesta show car (e.g.) sees a lightly modified Corsa (e.g.) on a cheap set of wheels at a show. Mutters "chav" under his breath.

Owner of Euro'd Volkswagen sees modified Fiesta show car, mutters "chav" under his breath.

Owner of modded air cooled Volkswagen sees Euro'd Volkswagen, mutters "chav" under his breath.

Owner of most other cars sees any of the above, mutters "chavs" under his/her breath.

Too many people out there prepared to tarnish everyone with the same brush. We're all into the same hobby, wouldn't kill us to be a bit more open minded and stop calling each other chavs all the time. Can't assume just because someone's got a huge ICE system and blingy wheels that they're a chav, or because they've got £2,000 of BBS under their arches and a Plush air ride install that they aren't.

exactly

it's not to my taste but i like 407's and don't like the style of Porsche's of that era anyway so it's an improvement.

Car aside that is such a shit add, when selling any car the more detailed the add the better but its even more important when its a highly modified car imo, especially one with a price like that

Did Bernie and Leepu have a hand in building that :lol:

Back on topic...

I know what i like and it's not big wings,24" rims or trick paintwork...to each their own.

That was a good read, quite a few people one here should give it a read.

Very good read.

Very good read,

And Japan > Everyone else!

I bet its the same in Japan as it is over here....

Just because there's a wide variety of styles over there doesn't mean they all love each other.

Yep, there's a wide variety of styles over here but most people still have their head up their arse when it comes to other styles

I'm not keen on japs anyway, I don't trust any race that inexplicably pixleates the genitals in porn video's. Never seen it done on anything other than Japanese porn

Its just a fairly common genetic defect, 'hiroshima penile syndrome'
