Vovlo perversion perfection?

Firstly, to the inevitable trolls that these threads attract: don't bother.

If you don't 'get' it then you probably never will so don't cheapen proceedings with bad insults.

On to the pics:

$2k's worth of 17x9.5 et0 rims that weigh 17lb on a rat-look 242 that is someone's drift toy.

Love it.

There's a rat look show room near me, they call it a scrap yard.

So what you really mean is 'No opinions that conflict with my own'.

In future please state this in your opening post and I'll promise to leave such threads alone. If you want a discussion about how it looks, fine, but you must be prepared to accept adverse comments and people who don't get it and you can't just brand these people trolls and hope they'll go away.

Nothing wrong with just having a thread of favourable comments but at least state this is what you want first.

With a decent black respray and tidy up, that could look cool.

iCraig · 12 Mar 2006 at 20:21

omg lol look like a banger dude lol

alextgreen · 12 Mar 2006 at 20:22

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'd love to turn up to work in that. Cooler than penguin ****.

Sam · 12 Mar 2006 at 20:30

So basicley bang some retro rims on an old rusty banger and its cool ? Damm wish someone could have told me this before

If you like it penski fair play but to be honest it looks like a pile of dog **** would only get a glance from me so i could have a good old laugh

paradigm · 12 Mar 2006 at 20:35

Well thats a pile-o-dirt™.

Sorry it doesn't "do" anything for me, but even the rims are foul.

Drift toy = 200SX or something
old volvo = old volvo.

Vovlo???

Ah you either get it or you don't...

Most wont...

I guess the paint job will follow, but its performance over looks...

:eek:

Jonny69 · 12 Mar 2006 at 20:41

Needs more rust TBH, I can see a light reflecting in the roof

VIDEOS...

William · 12 Mar 2006 at 20:42

Interestingly original, but I think that is all it has going for it looks wise. Under the bonnet may be different. Not saying much more until the wheels have been taken off it and someone has bothered to paint it.

[TW]Fox · 12 Mar 2006 at 20:45

Pfft guys you 'dont get it' and thus are not allowed to comment

olv · 12 Mar 2006 at 20:56

lol @ the replies.

what power is it running? if it goes like **** off a shovel like it should then it'd be major fun

chopchop · 12 Mar 2006 at 20:57

whislt it may be fun, its certainly a pile of ****.

a banger doesnt make a cool car penski..

My parents had one of them Volvos about 10 years ago. It was **** even back then. I can't see what has changed? Ohhh yeah it has a load more rust and its now 'retro'

It's RWD, any car thats RWD is now automatically cool even if it was dire when new

Dogbreath · 12 Mar 2006 at 21:07

If this is someones drift toy it's hardly going to be some knackered old scrap yard fodder, irrespective of what it looks. I'd have though that much was blatantly obvious? The side exit exhaust is hardly a subtle clue...

I don't even think drifting is worthy of being called motorsport, but I get it.

If you were strapped into the passenger seat of that car with some nutter throwing it sideways round a track in a poetic dance and it didn't make you grin insanely then there's something wrong!

whitecrook · 12 Mar 2006 at 21:25

MMM, rat look ? I thought I knew what rat look was, but that looks like an dodgy old car with replaced panels and nice wheels.. Does it go like stink?

A rat car IMO should be as original looking as possible, (every dent, bump scrape there to see, orginal panels), running gear is great condition. A kind of sleeper

These are some examples I found while looking: (yes I like aircooled Vee dubs)
