The Camaro Club (UK)

We've all got a particular 'thing' we see on people's cars that make us think "eh ?"... such as HUGE dustbin sized exhausts on chavvy boy racer Corsas, or turbo/16v stickers... luckily they often that come and go depending on the days fashion..... anyone remember the anti- static strips that used to hang of the back of nearly every car in the 80's and 90's?

My personal blood boilers are:
1. Car eyelashes- usually found on female owned Fiat 500's, beetles etc... just looks stupid
2. Spinners - luckily going out of fashion, but the worst were the plastic fake chrome hubcap type often on mini cabs.
3. Dashboard full of toys - whole dash covered in small toys glued or bluetacked on.. why ?
4. M badge - nearly every badly driven low spec old BMW seems to have one, it's not an M3 or M5 so don't pretend.
5. LED washers - luckily pretty much out of fashion, but remember these irritating bonnet adornments ?
6. Door Race stickers - Performance enhancing stickers, stuck on the front door like a shopping list.
7. Fish stickers - don't even get me started
8. Beaded seat covers - People used to say how comfy they were... They aren't they're aweful..

Any more ??

You've got some good ones there!

I'm trying not to use expletives here because they enrage me... but those stupid dumb retarded stanced cars. A little bit of lip to rim (oo err missus) action is ok with a touch of camber - the style you got in the late 90's / early 00's typically on vw's with a touch of stretched tyre looked cool. But these overstanced dropped way not wide enough tyre to wheel look is just awful. I saw my first real life one yesterday - it was a civic and went past me on a roundabout and i burst out laughing at how stupid it looked. If your car struggles to function as a device of mobility, you dun goofed.

Also this new phase of making your car look sh*t. Putting manga stickers all over a panel then stripping paint off another to rust it out on an otherwise normal looking car. It's so dumb. Ratrods look like ratrods because they are built from the ground up to be in a certain way i.e "this is from this car and that's from another car and then we made this metal brace to hold it all and we wanted to use that steering rack from a different manufactuer so it's how it is, it ain't pretty but it's functional and looks the part" make sense. But to make a normal car look as though one panel has been through a mad max film, what is the damn point. It just looks, lazy. It makes no sense.

That's mine so far lol.

Why do they call it "Rush Hour", when nothing moves?

Stick on shark fins
Roof diffusers
Alloy Touring car spoilers
Anything to do with BMW's and Audis and most of the people who drive them
Aftermarket wheel trims
Window tints on the back but not on the front
Car bra's
White cars which people think are cool - when in reality they look like NHS staff cars and will bomb when red becomes the new white. Then people with no imagination will be driving around in Fire Brigade staff cars.
