pmgthailand Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I seen a car on the street the other day with a big huge spoiler on it that would not look out of place on a F1 car. It was a Toyota Vios, a grannies car, what is the deal. Also what is the deal with ith cars and trucks with lowered suspension that they cannot drive at more than 10kph. What is the deal here? I see pickups now with so much bling on them that they look like a Pimp's car that you would have seen in 70's harlem. Ha Ha Anyone for shiny beads and trinkets!!!!

LivinginKata Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I guess that the local go-faster wanabees can't afford a Ferrari or high performance car, so they do the best they can with what they can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercallen Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Well OP since you call the Toyota Vios a grannies car what type of vehicle do you consider a REAL MANS car and do you own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillR Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 There is a huge demand for after market parts and modifications in every country. 100's of magazines and 1000's if not millions of websites dedicated to this. Yes it may look silly to you or me but it is a matter of taste. It's a hobby, and an expensive one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmgthailand Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 I have seen some pretty cool cars here, I guess you are right it is about taste. Some have it and some don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny999 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) it's a hobby and if it makes them happy and they are doing no harm to others whats the problem, no I have no car here yet but if I do get one I will put my own personel touch on it, just some nice alloys will do the job!!!! If you look at my post on here titled coach works you will see I was in to modifying when I was in the UK it can be an addiction for someone that loves car's bloody expensive addiction I might add. yes some modifications serve absolutely no purpose except to make the owner happy and they do.

Not annoyed just dont understand some peoples thinking. Dont worry, he drives a "wanna be 4x4" Nissan pickup. You know the ones who looks like a 4x4, but is only 2wd. Previously described as a Tata copy. anyway back to topic, since more than 80% of all sold cars/trucks here come from 3 suppliers (Toyota, Honda, Isuzu), some like to modify their ride to look different I do it by removing stickers and badges:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you really spend over 100,000 pounds on a 5 series? Who is it you are calling a dork? My thoughts exactly !!!! I really don't see the need to tell people on a forum who you don't know how much you spent on a car, insecurity at its best. Thing is nobody is impressed only laughing at you for getting ripped off........ Who's the Dork now ????

What is a real truck driver in your humble opinion? Obviously not someone who drives a granny's car. Each to their own & why put people down because they do not fit into your extremely narrow view of the world. Perhaps you should form a ponce's club where you do not have to associate with the "poverty struck farangs" for whom you have no respect & for whom you certainly have no idea about their background or the type of person they are. Then again perhaps you are just another troll. I don't know the laws here on car modifications but it seems like anything goes although I have not seen anything too outrageous.
