That style always makes me think they got the wheel and tyre sizes wrong and thought they'd fit them anyway.
Bet the front number plate was perched on the dash behind the windscreen.

Any clue for the Hard of Understanding forum members ??
Urgh, I feel dirty now. I'll have to go and sit in the Discovery for a few minutes until I recover.

It's a spotty oik chav thing in't it?
A Disco 2 can do that too ...... if it's got leaky air bags.

Being around in the 70s and early 80s I kind of like young men customizing their cars. It was a big thing then but you had to make your modifications rather than just bolt them on.
So I'm in.
I wouldnt want one. Just like I wouldnt want a 'sleeve' or a 'box game' but thats a youth thing. If gits like me liked them they wouldnt want them.

The dents on the front wing of that indicates a colision, maybe with ........
the kerb
Daft. Loads of em about anorl. No idea how they get about the roads these parts, but as @Bobsticle says, nice to see the youngsters taking an interest in their motors.
Maybe as a 'youngster' I can shed more light on this. Although I'd like to state I hate this style. It's called stance it originated in Japan for the drift scene. The lowness was to make drifting easier but soon developed into a competition of how low can you go and different objects from toys to underground train handles that dangle from the ceiling would be hung in the back dragging on the floor to know how low it was.
It's often referred to by car enthusiasts who understand the engineering and affects of physics on these mods as rice which stands for race inspired cosmetic enhancement. Basically anyone who takes something from the world of racing like body kits and spoilers and loud exhausts that don't benefit the low powered car at all but they spent hundreds making their car look fast when they could've spent that actually making it faster.
Strancers usually rip the bumpers off on any kerb or speed hump and give a very uncomfortable ride which is why it makes you an idiot to do it on a daily driver like a golf.
The stretched tyre usually allows for more camber and gives the impression of more camber which in turn makes the car look lower. There's a test called the shoe test where if you can fit your shoe under the wheel arch above the tyre then your car isn't low enough.

So when I put my mud tyres on I'm winning?
