FittedUK 2016 Show Pics *Warning Car Porn*

[AJP]

If this is a type of 'porn' then I vote scat porn

Bunch of pretentious cocks with oversized model cars.

Hehe, well said. And when Rich mentioned "scene wankers" I couldn't help but put it in the context of Inbetweeners in my head. Intended, I trust.

I wonder how Plush these things are round a track..

[rich83]

Rich is just pi55ed that he didn't get in with his Golf M-sport

I has a sad. That's TDI Msport to you 

[Wolf Burger]

It's all about scene wanking basically. If you don't have air and sh*t wheels you won't get in

Fitted was a great show and tbh the organisers did a fantastic job.

I show my car quite a bit, it doesn't go on a track and never will, wasn't built for that. I have no interest in that sort of thing, i may get a stone chip...no no no no no.

I'm not a pretentious cock, but i probably do have an over sized toy as a car. Its smart though.

It wasn't about scene wanking at all, You didn't have to have air / sh*t wheels  to get into the show. You had to have a fine example of a car low or not. There was some beautiful machinery there from across Europe.

Don't take any notice of the lupo, that doesn't count.... the owner is clearly on crack 

[rich83]

Sorry I'll correct myself. 99% of the cars there were on air with sh*t wheels.
Jesus Christ. Even the Subaru was on air. What what the f*ck had someone done to that old 911. Face palm

[MR02LOW]

why you so against air rich?

[rich83]

Because it's stupid and makes your car sound like an ice cream van 

Air is ok, but to go to a show where every car is slammed on air is boring, hence why I don't go to these shows. It's like it's the only mod to get you Instagram likes and scene points. All sponsored by MasterCard no doubt.

i do often wonder how many of the owners actually have a mortgage and live in the real world when I visit shows but I agree the slammed on air is getting boring now. Id much rather have a track focused car.

why do you wonder that then??

I have a mortgage, 2 kids, wife and my golf is all paid for? so what?

Why does it matter how its paid for? what does it have to do with you with how people fund their cars?

I was referring to the extreme cars and how on earth they manage to spend the dizzying amounts they do when they change their cars appearance every year.

It's one upmanship, plain and simple. Lower, wider, more stretch, just for 'scene points'.

I mentioned 'chequebook cars' in another thread, and it's pretty much what Rich is saying:

1) Buy latest VAG on the never never.

2) Take to Luke at Plush for him to actually do all the hard work.

3) Pay on the never never.

4) Roll up to your spot at the latest and greatest sceney VAG show. Feel like a boss because 'your build' is owning it.

5) 500 scene points aquired.

Point I'm making is that a lot of people who don't really have a clue about how air ride works, how hard it is to build a ridiculously slammed static daily, and all the rest of it, want instant fame and recognition in the scene. And they want the credit for it. Like those 'Built Not Bought' stickers. Half the cars wearing those are unintentional parodies of it.

There are always exceptions, always home builds that are true works of art, built by DIY enthusiasts who are incredibly gifted. Ironically, a lot of these don't end up at the shows.

I actually knew the girl that bought the UR02LOW mk5 off Plush, Lucie. Not sure what she's doing now, she was a top lass, but I got the impression she didn't really get too invested in the actual development of the car, and had quite a bit of cash behind her. I'm not knocking her personally, but it's a perfect case in point. I don't buy PVW any more as there's just too much of it, and it's become a bit tiring.

Truthfully what is done to the cars doesn't bother me. Most of them aren't my thing however I absolutely love yours Craig. People can do whatever they want as it's their money and for me the point of cars is to express yourself with them. Also how they're paid for doesn't matter 1 bit as who's business is your financial situation.


My issue is that when you go to a track day or performance based event 90% of people wether they drove a Lupo or a Lambo are friendly and happy to chat and even do passenger rides etc...

When you go to to a 'scene' type show most people don't care or want to know you unless you have basically the same car as them.

Nowadays it's just track days and Sunday service type meets for me.
