thats exactly what it is for everyone.Some zoners get intimidated by some comments
especially newbies.
i reckon some of you get off on an argument on the zone.

Right on man!
Individualisation's where its at.

well said elf

Yeah, well said, but its all a bit of fun. No ones having an argument about it.

As was said on the other thread, some of the 'council' mods actually look ok and some dont IMO.

i thought this was all very lighthearted myself.... just getting some ideas of the popular mods

These are pixels on a screen. If they are annoying you, try turning the computer off and remembering there is a real world out there.

If you really want to get annoyed try paying money in at HSBC. One machine for cheques, one for cash. One needs a paying in slip and one doesn't. 'Progress' means you now have to queue twice.

If there's a murder in HSBC shortly and you see a black tourer driving off on the CCTV on Crimewatch then you ain't seen me right?

im confused with this i dont see any arguing,just peoples opinions to the question he asked,but if your of the faint hearted type then a forum like this isnt the best place for opinions as you have to be prepared for good ,the bad and the very bad .as for non council mods id say anything that ive done to mine

Very council (imo!)

This one came up a while back, angel eyes are the next lexus lights, all the chavs have them on corsa's/saxo's and anything else you want!

Correct. I've seen a Cavalier with them on. End of discussion.

that wasnt angel eyes, that was the interior light shining out through the holes in the bulkhead

ste wrote:Correct. I've seen a Cavalier with them on. End of discussion.

Actually? Having owned a cavalier(god have mercy on me, it was a long time ago) I just can't see how you would make angel eyes fit what is in effect a rectangular headlamp!

You replace the lights with a twin light unit, not that I know

The best mod Ive seen on a Cav was it fitted with E36 headlights.

Ive seen E36 Angel Eye projectors fitted to a nova!!

I Know alot of you will laugh at that, but bear in mind i still own two novas!!

Laugh now, once lol!!

First off i have to addmit i didn't know the british slag for counsil. so i looked it up and this is what i came up with.

"1. Council

Derogatory term used to describe people of low social-class. It's very similar to the term Chav. Also used to describe something that looks cheap or tacky.

It's based on the fact that poor people would tend to live in subsidised housing in the UK known as a council estate. Council estates have improved a great deal in the past 10-20 years but some are still suffering from anti-social behavour brought about by Chav and Urban wannabee behaviour by kids and young adults who are simply bored and lacking identity or a sense of community."

Now if this is indeed correct then i find the last line to be very interesting as it pretty much negates a sence of indiviuality, in being Chav or council.

I'm by no means tring to start an argument just a little confused my what you guys mean by council. I think this relates to the US slang of "ricer" or something done in bad taste. or similar to the first line in the definition above.

If this is the case...big multi layered rear wings and gold 20" wheels are total council?

quote :If this is the case...big multi layered rear wings and gold 20" wheels are total council?

spot on there bottlecapE30,you've hit the nail on the head !

This is where you guy's fail to realise that for a true modder, your 16" Alpina wheel, and your Tech 1 kits are the one's that's Council When i go in the Zone pics section, i have to hold my hand up and admit that i dont look at any cars that isn't modded. It's no disrespect to the owners, but they just dont interest me. I have to admit i've seen modded cars with Blackpool tower on their boot being used as a boot spoiler and hub cap spinners , but those people are not real modders, they are just Council Tech 1 and replica Alpina boy's like most of you no taste Chav's on the Zone trying to have a go at modding

When you see Bajadaan's M3 cuming, you hear the fcuker, then you see it and you cant fail to be impressed. We also get our coc#s sucked with our so called modded Council chariots, whilst you standard lot have to go home and bash your gurking with your right hand, or cheat with your left hand every now and then, so it's all good

Ben , scouse council birds might give a good polish but you'd hardly bring them home to meet your mum
oh i forgot your turd has no engine, so they've been chomping on some other 'modders' knob, the dirty jezabels !

Yeah, but pete i have 3 chriots so whilst one is off the road, i have 2other to go get my meat chomped on. Shame this is a straight site otherwise i'd post some of the pics of the bootyman in action and why every one needs a chav mobile

Besides Pete, you have the chavest car on the site and it dont even run, so i dont think you're qualified to comment

my car runs. i get regular noshes. and its standard.. you either got it or you need a car to get it...
