I'd rather loose by a mile cause I built my own car than win by an inch because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let anyone else write the book.

Could i see myself driving that red Prelude - no, the speedbumps in the area would kill it, and the ride would kill me. Can i appreciate the work that's gone into it, and marvel at the finish - of course i can, that's all that matters really  |

I like it. It's most probably on air, so wouldn't be as bad to drive as it looks.

Its like every year London fashion week and some paper will show a model wearing a hat made of cheese and dress made from butter and people will talk about "you couldn't get on a bus wearing that" or "how would that look in ASDAs doing your shopping", but the point is that they aren't making cloths for people to do 'normal' stuff in, they are trying to get noticed amongst all the other people trying to get noticed......That's no different to car modders really...at a show you may not be aiming to make a car that one could go to the shops in...

Proper four wheel steering gives me the horn.
That is all.

So much hate on RR, man up. Finish on almost all of these cars are all spot on, and just like at RRG, good that there's variety otherwise they may as well be stock if they all look the same.
Also amazed that people still complain that rather minor stretch will fall off the bead at the sight of a pebble on the road.
Love em, and I want 4 wheel steering.

These old preludes are cool as I no a chap who has a vtec one with the bonnet bulge drove it once for him and it goes like stink. It's got 100thou or so on it but kept in a carpeted garage I would like to have it off him as I'm sure he will sell it one day  |

You've got this all wrong. It's not your car, you don't have to drive it, so don't worry yourself with how it may or may not handle. If you don't like it, don't look at it / post pics of something you do like. I totally agree with your sentiments. However, it is a shame that the same advice is not dispensed when many pictures are greeted with choruses of 'needs more lows' or similar. It may be dressed up in a colloquialism, but it's still critical, negative posting. |

It's an ace little ride put together by a young guy in Sweden, it's also not on air and he drives it around like that, it's an auto too. Simple fact is, he's working on a limited budget and just using a couple of tried and tested tricks to maximum effect. He's then polished the hell out of it and shown some pride in his work, nothing wrong with that. How do I know this? I was more than likely stood no more than 15ft away when these pictures were taken at the recent Elmia Custom Car Show in Sweden, the owner is part of the OijOij society and a decent kind of guy. You don't like it? Do something you do. Like go to a car show in a foreign country and have fun |

It may be dressed up in a colloquialism, but it's still critical, negative posting. I have no problem with people saying what they don't like about a car, I'd rather they post up what they do like, but if they are going to post up criticism I'd rather it were framed constructive rather than just negative... if people need help on this, because it does require people to engage their actual brain : www.wikihow.com/Criticize-ConstructivelyIn the mean time... low cars are stupid  |

You may have a point, but its a bit childish that, "look Miss he said that car was on stilts first, so then i said i hate stretch and poke".... Its tribalism, as a whole we are into retro cars (even thats a grey area really) but under that banner is a vast array of cars and styles, we aren't going to all love the same stuff, but we are also alot better off is we allow an open mind, leave all the "i hate ricers" "i hate VW hipsters" etc etc out of here......... i'd say on here it goes from bangernomics up to serious tune shop cars / scene cars and all in-between. I say this as i had a bit of grief about one of my cars on here, i'm over it now as i realise its not personal. |
