I'm confused.

1 thing for sure it does not not look good. :
it's not photoshop. why would i want to bag out a Ford in that way? it was taken with a 1.2MP camera that's all.

Maybe he is in REPCO looking for a bigger wing. Or a second so he can tier them.

Let's be on a lookout for him, and when someone finally spots him again tell him to take FORD badge off the car!

I guess it is his/her car and they can do what they like to it.....

However, that is just plain ugly. I cannot STAND those clear Altezzas on ANY car. BAs with them on look just like VT Commodores. Every time I see a B-series with those lights I want to smash them. Altezzas = no class.

And that wing is just a joke - no other words for that.

All in all, a stunning example of a BA mongrel.

That would have the best downforce. You guys will not be laughing when he passes you on turn 4 on the track. Jealousy is a curse.

A wing has no noticeable effect until 220km/h or thereabouts.

Although that one may do so at idle...

Maybe it flips up and acts as a sail.

Well if he didn't ruin it with the rear lights (hate those things on any commo or falcon) he did with that wing....not something I would want to be seen in.

Sorry Unco, my mistake. Maybe it was my disbelief that someone would do this to an unsuspecting motor vehicle. The question of why remains unanwered.

PS I like your P6 though.

Altezzas look smashed from the start! Everytime I see a BA/BF with a smashed taillight (particularily in the V8 supercars), I can't help but notice how much they look like altezzas

There is more wrong with that picture than you think. Clearly with a wing that big CASA would be corncerned with the fact an aircraft is parked in a suburbun parking lot without its wheels chocked.

no worries mate. i couldn't believe it either even though i was seeing it with my own eyes. i had to back up and pull up next to it (you'll notice i'm parked a bit crookered, the turning circle was never good in the old LTD's) to take a pic of it.

After the incident of the Wheel falling off an F111 at Amberly Airforce Base, the same technician was working on another F111 today. The F111 made a succesfull take off, but after making a right hand bank over Ipswich, the wing fell off and landed on this car....
