Default Barryboys

I got on that site quite alot and I've noticed some cars are rather good yet they get slated. I get the impression that any modified car is a "barryboy car"

example

http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/vi...hp?f=1&t=36109

Remove the sunstrip and it's brilliant

or have I missed something here?

Doors and interior are nasty!!!! Colour is a Marmite thing but with a bit of love and attention it could be made something really nice

without the lambo doors and with some more old skool looking wheels I think it'd be quite nice.

Only read a few replies on there and they are saying hasn't got an intercooler when you can clearly see it? Who goes on Barry boys? 15 year olds?

Not a big fan of the granny myself but still an element of cool to it.
I think b/boys audience consists of 15 yr old boys and middle aged very sad people who go to tuscany on holiday and drink Chardonnay while quentin and portia attend ballet and acting classes.............all from the comfort of their rented council flat.
There's a few on there that are quite funny and there's been some great finds on there over the years but I remember commenting once on a civic that I actually really liked and was slated for "standing up to a senior member".
Fuck off.
Left with an abusive message.
Tried to log back in a few years later but you need an @btinternet style email address so fucked them off.
