Buckle up as we take you on a riveting ride back to the early-mid 2000s to revisit the 'ruck look' car trend. This was a time when the auto industry was all about intentionally distressing cars for aesthetics. We'll unravel memories of Simon's Mark 2 Golf, a perfect representation of the 'ruck look', and explore the impressive 500 brake horsepower Mark 7 Golf daily driver by Ryan Benjamin and Alex Papas' unique Bora. We'll also remind you why it's essential to chart your own journey and not blindly follow the masses.

Our passion for the 'ruck look' ignited a fascination for car modifications, which we'll delve into. Listen closely as we break down the nitty-gritty of car mods on Vojtek's vehicle and the speaker's radical ride. From engine upgrades to changes in the wheels, interior, and exterior, we'll discuss it all. Plus, we'll share the hurdles faced in seeking inspiration for a car build.

Finally, join us for a captivating narrative of Simon's journey with his 1991 Volkswagen Golf. This is not your run-of-the-mill restoration! Strap in as we share how Simon's Golf was stripped to a bare shell, spray-burned, and then modified with unique touches like blasting and powder coating the subframes, and distressing the front with a bunch of keys. Also, get to know about Simon's aspiration to take his 'ruck look' car to the Weatherssee track and get it featured in a magazine. We'll round off this thrilling ride with an invitation for you to check out the magazine and poster, and visit your nearest WH Smirfs. So, ready for this high-octane journey into the world of car modification and restoration?
