Anyways, to cut a long shory stort, this interesting cartoon caught my eye....



Anyone care to tell me whats wrong with the pic? :

Not only that, Its the VCT I6 complete with machined trim at the top, and the VCT Idler poking out the front. I knew that they were better than the ole S/C V6 Sh1tter!

No No you guys missed the best one
This is one for the BA owners LOL

Check that the handbrake works by parking on a hill and putting the car in neutral.

And then step out and watch it roll away HAHAHAHA

Can't believe you guys missed the huge gapping hole in the bonnet, not to mention that half the roof and passenger side is missing. I seriously doubt that car is roadworthy. Must have happened when it hit that "Driving for your life" pole which is laying on the bonnet :

There are a few things. Of course the muchly upgraded engine and the "accident". But it looks like the back end of the commy is off a focus or astra and that there is only one seat belt in the car.. now that is dangerous! All that ford power in the front and really light back end and not seat belts in a car that is missing half the roof and bonnet.. Im not too sure this is such a good example of a safe car..

Inspect exhaust manifold for turbine housings.

Be wary of vehicles with fraudulent number plates.

Peronal number plate "SAFETY" on a Commodore. That is wrong.

look more like a VS than anything else...if they were a bit fatter they could pass as a VT coz the sketch shows the indicator etc but the general shape and size looks VS to me....what do you think they are? AU?
