Ekona Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I quite like the brand, it's maybe not that well known in this country but I 'get' it, if that makes sense. It's a bit like Red Bull and their branding of sports events, but aimed at motoring. At least, that's how I see it, whether or not that's what Block and Scotto were aiming at I've no idea.

AliveBoy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 An I missing something? Isn't it just hooligan spelt wrong? Does it mean something!? It's a brand which Ken Block created. It's on all of his cars and they sell some cool clothing which I must admit, I own some of, and I like it I guess it's because if you drive erratically you'd be going for a "hoon". http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hoonigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) As someone else pointed out, on a standard 350 it looks kind of odd.... Chop the springs, tape up a few windows, paint one wheel a different colour (using a rattle can of course), let people draw on one front wing of your car... etc, they're the sort of things you got to do to drive about with a sticker like that on. Basically, make you car look sh*t so it justifies the sticker... Edited September 2, 2013 by mouthwash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrumbMC Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'm going to leave it on until my bumper gets sorted. like i said, it's a joke and the fact that almost all of you despise it is kind of funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HmmBen Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 As said it looks a bit out of place. Not all out wrong... but maybe if your car was a bit more track/drifty it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Who's ken block? Isn't he that guy out of coronation street He's only the co founder of one of the best shoe companies about Loakes?

Ekona Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Loakes make posh shoes, but have nothing to do with either the name Ken or the name Block. Which is a shame, 'cos that would've been supremely comical if the bloke who started Loakes was called Ken Block too. But he's not. So it's not.

They aren't even one of the best trainer makers. Ah this must be an age thing! DC shoes are the only shoes i wear It might just be that, I used to like DCs when they just had a small logo on the side, I much prefer Vans, Etnies, Nikes and Adidas if I'm gonna be completely honest. Plus it winds me up how they call themselves DC Shoes when they really sell boarding trainers. In fact have DC Shoes actually ever released a proper shoe? :lol: They are a little trendier than Loakes though I find that I get into all of the trendy establishments wearing my Loakes and actually if I were to be wearing DCs I would doubtless be turned away. Unless the amusement arcade is what you consider a trendy establishment Ekona? Then I would wholeheartedly agree with you 100% ;):o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
