Skangermobiles

TCP/IP

ah skanger mobiles i was at the toll bridge today and some muppet in a honda civic blackned out windows and a drilled exchaust starts reving beside me at the lights now to this i started breaking out laughing at him to which him and his buddy were not impressed, lets just put it this way i was driving my MGTF 160 and not the work van so skanger was left at the toll bridge even slowed back down to laugh at him again. Still makes me smile

Anyone with baked bean can glued to the back of their motor (civic) really does need help, saw these two in the past week. I could feel the raw power from the Micra

cargrouch

Skangertastic! That Micra is definitely Barryboys material. If you do decide to put it up there for a laugh, be warned - they will roast you if you don't follow all the instructions in their stickies.

Lookee!:)

Theres something very sad about seeing an innocent little car like a 1.0l Saxa tarted up and being thrashed by a muppet not long out of nappies who thinks he's a superman in a supercar.

Will someone please tell them - the whole look they are trying to cultivate looks pathetic

It's supposed to look like a carbon fibre bonnet like Jap racers would have (not on a Micra!)

LOL Carbon fibre primer!!!!

cargrouch

"Dats me carbon fibre bonnet boy, don't be dissin it."

But sure why bother paying all that money for an ultra light bonnet when a few coats of matt black will do the "de biz"? As they would say down here "Looks daycent biy"

(Alternative theory - the urban legend of sticking a CD behind your grill to deflect radar/laser eventually inspired someone who kept getting caught to do a stealth bomber matt black paintjob)

crosstownk

Its like someone left the bodyshop in a partially completed car to "get a few parts" for the nixer later that evening!!!!!!!

Oh jesus that Carina! LAF, that made me laugh for over 2 mins until I remember the fact some person is responsible for putting that together...

Feel the power of the leanburn wings...

What gets me, not so much dressing up a car and doing it the most injustice, but also driving it like a skanger/wanker/retard/"they must think I'm soo cool because I went thru the housing estate at 50mph"

You see a clio or starlet stopping at lights with the Max 50Watts blaring scooter and their goodmans speakers hopping around the back rear shelves while their likkle 4x 35Watt Max built-in amp is clipping away in the front, bleeding and screaming and the feen-sham in the back seat is throwing the MacDonalds rubbish out the window and you think it just cant get any worse.......
Oh but it can, because some time or another ladies and gentlemen, the lights have got to go green and little wanker fϋcknut drops the clutch and because he does know that his chariot of 'fire' has 631 bhp, surely all and sundery will stop and amaze as his skills of tyre burning and clutch dumping of a little engine as he hits 30mph in no less than 12 seconds, thanks to the weight of the cheap lead basket of his cheap-o-rama 15inch subwoofer wired in series to his goodman speakers cut into his parcel shelf and the 16 inch 3-spoke wheels his found off a car on saturday night...
He "crew" go wild in the back seats, one guy even drops his can of cider over the seat...but its ok..its not real leather...

Well, everyone else on the entire street just say to themselves "what a retard", shake their heads and frown as to what is happening this country and go on about their business....the people up the streets at the next set of traffic lights is treated to a rendition...

Now thats a skanger.....

My point...sometimes a Car will drive by that is badly dressed due to taste/budget, but if they are minding themselves, driving carefully and not trying to get the attention of the planet, then I say to myself, well as least he isnt acting like a skanger...

Dcully

It has to be a punto with silly stickers,tinted windows and alloys for me.
God i hate them silly skanger cars.

Do you mean all modified cars in general or people who stick every available piece of tack from halfrauds and freebies from magazines to there car thinking it then looks cool (known in the mod community as "Ricers")

Ehh, thats not what the word "ricer" means. It's an American term used to describe people who preffer Jap imports instead of domestic cars and who spend loads of money of modifying them and then racing them against american v8's etc to beat them.

Let me guess...you heard the word on TV and decided to make up your own definition inorder to sound like you know something :rolleyes:

Ba$tard

Ricer, Rice burner, yeah there are the import guys (normally West side) who laugh at the American term;
"there is no replacement for displacement"

cargrouch

That (jap import racers) was my understanding of ricer too, but the danger of online dictionaries/wikipedia shows itself here. If you check out any sites that just let people log on and define their own version, you'll see that plenty have decided to define ricer as anybody who tacks plastic/stickers huge exhaust to their car.

Ehhhh no,

Considering Fanny means arse in america there terms are different;)

Ricers been used for ages here as a term for people who drive cars like the afformentioned micra or carina,generally under the presumption that the stickers give an extra 10bhp and the bigger the exhaust hole the better

I'd love to fill up their bean can exhausts with concrete, no more noise pollution then!:D

BFassassin

what about this one it used to be a nice citreon c4 until they got their hands on it

Sch!Sm

can i join in this skanger bashing, i just hate them in general, inside or outside of their cars. Can a skanger come up here and post explaining why you would do that to a car. or why you would tear the arse out of a engine just to get away first at the lights. really i dnt understand

Looks like the disease of the skangered-up C4 is spreading to the poor helpless Mazda 323 beside it.

As the previous poster said, how can anyone do this sort of thing to a car. My own car is in the same way as it came out of the factory 16 years ago, and this is how I'm going to keep it. I mean, what are people trying to achieve by putting alloys, fart can exhausts, etc. on their cars?

To sum up, I fcuking hate skangers and the sh1tty cars to go with it.

BFassassin

yeah the mazda has lexus lights, is lowered and has alloy wheels.

i have to say when i get a car i would put alloy wheels on it but not any of those spinners or anything just some plain 5 spoke ones or something.
a while back i saw a fiat siecento with spinners on it and i just had to laugh it had nothing else on it tho

Sch!Sm

are spinners the little l.e.d's you see inside the alloys sometimes? dear jesus why would someone insult a car so by sticking them in

BFassassin

spinners are like an extra set of spokes that can spin freely

here is a video of one

colm_mcm

speaking of Citroen C4's and Mazda 323's

Isn't the C4 such a rip off of the old 323f 3 door?

cargrouch

People with spinners on their wheels should be dragged from their car and have their nose pushed against the still spinning pieces until they see the light.
This is not LA! *ding-ding-ding* *ow-ow-ow*
You are not a rapper! *ding-ding-ding* *ow-ow-ow*
This is not a pimped out Yukon SUV! *ding-ding-ding* *ow-ow-ow*
It is a stickered up non vtec civic/1.3 escort! *ding-ding-ding* *ow-ow-ow*
etc

Can anyone tell how jealous I am of their Max Power shaming cars?

I understand car modding and its not that bad if you start out witht a good car. what i dont get is why people mod sh!t cars and then drive them to within an inch of their life

BFassassin

Nah! I was able to determine that it was a rev counter which I applaud, every car should have one as they are useful for diagnosing certain engine issues.
