I think i have a strange car related disease

Featured Replies

Everywhere i go, i find myself noticing cars that have particularly shiny paintwork. If a car catches my eye i can't help but check out the wheels and other trim to see what spec it is. I am completely and utterly skint, but I've just sold a throttle body to fund a third set of wheels. And to top it all off, i found myself looking at the wheels on one of those sit-on lawnmowers at uni yesterday and wondering about them on my car - the wheels were four stud and had about 5 inches of dish!

Does anyone else do shit like this? Its really quite disturbing - like a compulsive gambler who can't walk past a casino or fruit machine without having to try his luck!

It was similar to this but with wider wheels...

Yes i find myself doing that!!

Especially with VWs though, the old ones that may just have pensioner driving, I still have a proper look!

Then i wonder what people would think, me looking so fascinated with an old car like a mk2!

Not to your extent skatty but yes I do look at shiney looking cars.

I absolutely refuse to look at chav wagons, especially the ones where they are sitting at traffic lights revving, or that slowly crawl upto you whilst walking to just hoon it past loudly.

Mate you have a serious condition there, the only thing for you to do is to go get some hub adaptors and slam your motor on mower wheels. Go with it, we don't get any more innovation without Nutters like you :badgrin:

Eurgh yeah, i remember always looking at the chavvy cars when i was like 12 thinking they were amazing :oops:

Now I've come to my senses and realise how shit they really are :)

I always look at the plug hole when I'm brushing my teeth cause it looks like a single piece PLS Vitesse. Nice amount of dish to :lol:
