mate, dont talk him into a tarago, unless its real new. have you ever driven one of those things? they make a split feel safe. the ones i have
driven have been gutless, the frames until the late 80's? were more crude then the bay kombis, and on a mates ealry 90s turbo diesel 4x4 the brakes
are a joke, beetle sized single pot disks on the front and drums on the rear! maybe an import custom hiace instead, i hear they are a lot better.

I believe that in the UK people are getting into Historic People Mover Racing...but seriously why would you bother? You can't polish a turd. (Jackie
Gleeson, Smokey and the Bandit). Next well see a T3 gone matt black. I'm also not sure about the degree of difference between a Rat, Rat Rod and a
Hood Ride ... seems that Rat/Rod is more of a Beetle/Type 3 thing than a bus thing, and Buses seem to fit more into Hoodride (as per http://www.hoodride.com ). But that's not to say that the owner of a Rat Bus would agree.
When is a Rat, just a sh_tbox trying to be cool? - maybe it's all in the eye of the beholder. It's all getting very confusing..but I don't think
you can 'pimp' a Kia and make it cool anymore than a Tarago. But no doubt someone will prove me wrong (again).

That Commo' is teh sux!... like, OK, I was gonna pimp mine a bit a while back, but then thought.. why bother???... sure, I admit they look awsome if
ya do it right (that POS up top is NOT RIGHT!!!)... but it dont make the car any less shite... still rates as a feeble attempt to polish a turd...
hehe... love that phrase... and that makes two occurrences of it now 
Basically, you pimp a Kombi... you is t3H_5h1T... OOHH YEAAAH... on the other hand, pimp a Commodore, you is FULLY SICK BRO'!!!... YECH... FULLY SICK
is an insult that is deserving of the one who utters it being plastered by arediculously lowered Kombi! (cue the Helbus  )
As for the Tarago's... BUUURN BURRRN BUUURN!!!!!... SACRIFICE TO THE DAKDAK-DEITIES!!!! :jesus
I saw a shit Tarago afew months back with friggin' HYDRAULICS!!!! ARGH!!!:repuke
People is really takin this rat-rod thing WAAAAAY too far... serious... Sigmas, Tarago's and Datsun 1300's with bling???? WTF

I think they are great. Seems like a good way to have a car that you can build on an extreamly tight budget and break away from the norm. The van
looks like it hauls a dirt bike round in the back for sure.

not half as bad as i expected. what do you think outside people think of a late beetle dropped on its pan, or the insane chamber on the rear of madly
lowered bugs?

well..to be honest..i dont think much of lowered swing axle bugs either..anymore than i do commodores... and superbugs and l-bugs look crap which ever
way you look at them... no offence intended to anyone who owns one.. each to his/her own! 
The commodore I could JUST live with... only JUST tho... but Im afraid I cant agree with you guys on the Lame 300ft cliff van... it just looks
terrible whichever light I look at it in... very very sickening.. :puke:

rat style taken too far!
i like the camber on the rear of my 68 bug when i drop it on its guts (but each to there own). As for those cars they are sooo yuk its just not
funny(my opinion). not that i want to get into a debate about rat style as i will look at any car done right and think it looks good no matter what
style it falls under.but spew to the dunnydoor and the cliff van:puke
