Again, I'm not saying it's right to flame the guy on here, I'm just hoping to shed a little light on why someone would just go nuts in flaming someone who drives a car with all that stuff in it. It's almost like smacking a guy's mom across the face some people take this stuff so seriously.

I think we do understand why people lash out - because they are rude and don't understand other people can do what they like and have a right to express themselves.

Fair play to Braker, he looks after his car and he styles it how he wants and does lots of other mods to it. Cultures vary so much - the Euro car modding scene is very different to the UK and also to the US one. I cannot stand people who do not accept people for who they are and allow them to live their life as they see fit as long as it doesnt hurt/affect anyone else.

Personally i don't care much for the paint job - i have to admit but then i like my cars to be decrete. I was pulling his leg about the ferrari outfit - and i hope you realise that Braker - but i know that where he is from you can get away with things like that. In thw UK if i wore that outfit i would get beaten up. But european attitiudes are far more liberal - one thing i like about Europe. The people are more willing to accept things out of the ordinary and let people get on with it.

Al in all i like his car. I like it becasue he has spent time on it and thought about it. It is only a 1.6 but not everyone can have a twin turbo Supra engine so he has made the best of what he has got.

A car in an object. As for 'true import fans' they can kiss mine and Brakers arses! In Europe we don't get any of this Nismo style stuff and you Americans should do some reasearch and realise that. YOu guys have an absession with japanese cars that we don't. I would much rather a german or british tuned car than a japense one because i prefer the style. I also prefer French tuning style because that is what i am used to.

We have differetn styles over here. Neither is better. End of discussion! Now we have ruined this poor guys thread enough!

Hey Scouse Monkey...

if you have any, I'd be interested in taking a peek of some of the euro guy's community forums for like Peugeot and stuff if you know of any good one's. I lived in the UK for a total of 7 years over my life and it's always interesting to keep up with the different styles over there.

Oh, and I was only trying to shed a little light in the last post and meant nothing derogotory to anyone if they took it that way.

Oh god no dude, not derogotory - you were just being too nice to the people who slate other guys cars - thats all. I have decided to stop fannying around and let rip on people like that these days!

As for the tuning sites i am not the best perosn to ask I am afraid as my days of reading car tuning mags were over many years ago! I do participate on www.pug306.net but that is a general 306 site but the guys there are very friendly and i am sure they will have some links on the forum already.
