I showed this pic of a Donk to my wife



She burst out laughing and said " What the hell is that?, Thats like, Ive got no taste, look at me, look at me."

She doesnt know anything about cars, that was just an honest reaction from an impartial observer.

Wow... It's like the exact opposite of a 'low rider'!!

Next thing you know they will all be wearing their caps the right way.

Whilst my wife may laugh and I might think it looks silly, its someone pride and joy, and as long as they aint hurtin anyone its none of my business what car they drive or my place to pass judgment on their car.

If someone getting pleasure from this its a good thing, cruising through the suburbs in this with your mates would probably be fun, and thats why I like cars because they are fun, so I for one am now Pro the Donk, there should be more of it.

here are a few more examples.

The green camaro isn't too bad. The caddy lookas if 'joseph nd his technicolour dreamcoat' are going to hop out of it on stilts...

HAHAHAHA!!!!

The Camaro is a deadset insult, to do that to a fine piece of machinery.

Personally I have seen a lot of dattos on this site that are insults.

Someone will always go one step further to out do the next man. 40"

I think the clear rims are pretty cool. Clears

Your right. I take it back. It looks like it would be easy to take the trans out though. Air bags up, Walk under...

You're right, one advantage.

Saw one last night on one of the Ignition DVD's, and yeah, safe to say I hate it, looks like crap and I would hate to see what it corners like...

ZA boys aswell !!!!!!!

Poo.

There are probably some like that in Australia.

I cant say I know anything about these types of cars, but I saw on an episode of pimp my ride where they used either Chevy S10 or C10 spindles on a 70s model Impala (i think) to give it an extra 6 inches and then used the Chevy truck springs to lift it up the rest of the way. I thought it was a relitively simple way to get the car lifted 9 or 10 inches. In a way it is sort of like our datsuns, a part off one model will be a direct bolt on upgrade for another model without having to weld or grind anything.

I respect the workmanship but if I was going to go outrageous I'd go Bozo any day over Donk.

Mmmmm, Bozo.

yeh this is a pretty big trend over in the states. you can even buy mini models at toys r us over here.

yeah donk,box and bubble i believe its called. and i dont think it will be the future for austraila so much. its been a trend for a few years now in usa and wouldnt think australia cars are suitable for these mods. it would be cool to see a 1200 sedan on 24"s or 26"s with a massive lift kit though.

Please dont do it.

I think most ozzys have more taste.

i have seen a couple of hiluxs and rodeos with this and to be honest WHO THE F#CK in there right mind would want to do this it is F#CKING STUPID way to wreck a car
my 2 cents...

there was that 1200 ute that was jacked up on a suzuki sierra chassis up for sale in tazzy on ebay a while back.

Just imagine the law makers ha ha ha in our fine country to anything like this.
I can't even contemplate the engineering requirements

we had a TL magna come into work the other day with 20s and a full air bag system in it..... A MAGNA dam-it. what a crock. If your gonna do it make it classy i say, some thing old!!

Look at the original Donks and even if you hate the style, you can still have respect for the time and quality these guys put into their undercarriages.
Boxes and Bubbles are just the follow through.

Theres no argument on the patience,skill and bull headedness of these guys to turn out these things and actually get them on the road.I know one Rod builder up here and two other guys that build Clubman cars,and some of the stories they have told me in recent years about(the newer) Gov Mit requirements has me shaking my head,but to thier credit they always seem to find a way,however one of the guys in Southport(doing Clubmans)has now cracked it,and only does them for circuit work,as the cost of compliance has made them prohibitive to road reg.

All respect to the guy who can make such a thing but, either their taste is up their arse or I am so out of touch I wouldnt know a cool car if I fell over one.

those rodeos and hiluxs i seen where of the 4wd type so they lifted it a bit then stuck those useles P.O.S wheels on it and wrecked a perfectly good 4wd so my question is is that really a lot of time and effort?

Educate yourself on what a Donk is and then remove your silly post

Another purple Mardi-Gras float for ladyboys.

I even have my reservations for wheels bigger than 15inches for small datsuns. Anything else is for wankers who dont understand classics.

This is an example of a sports car that deserves big wheels.

Works for me...

That picture looks like it's based on a 4WD chassis.

One of the first donks I saw was an '80s model Caddie rolling on 32s. Instead of raising it to 4WD height it had huge humps in the guards and quarters to clear the wheels, looked ####ing freaky.

I've got a pic of it somewhere. Personally it looks ####, but man it's had some serious body work done to make it work.

I dont like it...ALL SHOW AND NO GO...
