I am prepared to be shot down here, but I don't get the whole show car thing. Why have a car that you cannot drive? and why have a polished engine, it's an engine FFS it's supposed to fairly dirty. Don't get me wrong some are nice but I'm a big fan of the standard look, coilies and nice rims and it's lovely car for me maybe only subtle other mods that enhance the look.

Am I the only one who thinks like this???

i dnt like people tht take their car to a show on a trailer, a car shud be driven ther, then washed

but i like the idea of a clean engine bay nd cean everything, but a car tht been trailered is a big no, unless they gt summit like an rs4 estate thts also thir show car then fair do

For me a car is something that is meant to be driven and some show cars could no way be driven on the roads and some are just completely impracticable. I used to love a good show car but for some reason maybe getting old but I just don't see the point.

ye, but like some of the cars on our clubstand was like mint clean, the red mk3 on vagwales was absouloutly spotless nd tht had driven down, ud just have to go over the car with a comb

Yeah I like the cars on here they are not over the top and showy they are how cars should be, shiney but they look like they are driven.

i agree, i dont like the show cars that arent used, as a car is made to be driven, but aslong as its tastful and driviable then i see nothing wrong with a good show car

i agree

Yeah im with you on this mate, whats the point of chroming stuff underneath the car ? gearboxes ? Ffs whats the point. A car was designed to be driven after all.

A few came in on trailers on Saturday

One was that mk1 golf, think he drove it off the trailer indoors.

i completely get show cars

i dont like trailer queens unless theres a valid reason, with the mk1 it cant be driven in bad weather as the underneath is painted the same as the top of the car, it does get driven daily in the summer though

id rather see a show car with someones heart and soul gone into it than some pikey styles car anyday tbh

persnal taste really, but no point having a car not to drive as its been said

I sometimes trailer mine
my reasons are as follows
1/Don't like to put too much mileage on it plus its on a classic limited mileage insurance policy
2/ Not much fun trying to take friends or family any distance in a 20+ year old Coupe'
3/ Especialy don't like when there is salt on road

If it's a classic as mentioned above by Scirocco boy, I get that. A classic car, insurance etc etc. But I totally agree with you, Sparky!

Yeah scriocco, I understand where your coming from, an the mk1 driver. Cos thats preserving a classic car, people will always want to see a pristine original car, with low mileage. Its like building a show home, an livin in a caravan, makes no sense.

mines driven quite well

show car matt
