Reading last months Evo this morning. I stumbled into the awful looking Vauxhall Adam



It has 18inch wheels as an option. Like the std 420bhp M3 (unless the 18s were the option and 19s std, not sure)

They comment it has a crashy ride. No sh1t? Its a f@#king corsa with daimler sized wheels and tiny tyres (which no doubt cost £200 a corner). To quote Ripley "Did IQs drop sharply while i was pissed at xmas?"

Joke car for a stupid population. That is all, i feel better now.

 

Most hatches come with 17s as standard nowadays. The Audi A1 also has an 18" option, in fact, Audi are pretty much entirely to blame for the stupid sized wheel fad.

 

The true innovators in the motor industry today are the Barry Boys;

Moronic 300W soundz systems that are causing havoc with electronics & stop/start technology.

Dazzling chav lights dripping like Argos jewellry on each corner, worsening visibility.

Wikid 300 BHP turbo installations that would make a B-segement a death trap, if it weren't for The Mighty Booosch & The Magic Canbus.

LED lighting all over the flocking interior.

Counter-intellectual wheels causing 'mares as described.

They are all me-tooing a Halfords near you.


And another thing: Vauxhall Adam makes no f ucking sense whatsoever, despite Opel's slightly weird protestations it has nothing to do with the company's founder.

Strictly, it ought to be the Vauxhall Alexander, but I believe Lloyd Motoren Werke got there first. So I'd insist on the Vauxhall Laurence (as in Pomeroy).

 

LOL

 

I was just sat behind some tosser in an Audi A1, guy had a flat rear right tyre and didn't even fcking realise...

 

I saw a 1 series with runflats like that. f@#king huge wheels.

I notice the difference on my S between my 16s winter wheels and 17s summers. Ok the winters are more squidgy but even so. I dint have a sensitive arce. Not since the incident with Carper....

Its got to joke point now. The A1 makes the driver look a right c@#t, toytown shit

 

Big wheels are needed for the ever increasing big small car.

If you are ever in need of a laugh, join an Audi forum where the user signatures don't have trackdays/performance mod list or even bhp outputs. No, they have what interior lighting packs they have, wheel size, daytime running lights, dual climate control, automatic window wipers, velour pack etc etc.

Lets face it, the only reason you'd buy an Audi is to show off to someone else. Otherwise, you'd buy a Skoda and save thousands of pounds for 90% the same car (No daytime running lights though )

An old colleague of mine, who'd bought a Mondeo Titanium, loved his 19" wheels right up until the point he had a puncture and each tyre was £270 and he had to buy two of them. Whereas he could have had a 17" tyre for less than £100.

 

I thought it was just me who thought that...

It's a FIAT 500 for those that always fail to get the joke.

 

I still think it's funny when you see Touge races where they bench a stock car with a heavily modded one and there's almost burger all difference in lap times with the same experienced driver - perhaps the interior lighting packs are better value ......... they're certainly more illuminating.

As for that A1 - can only agree with the above, it just looks like one of those toy pedal cars that kids have.
