Some people may see the installation of a turbo six in place of a V8 in something like a Mach 1 Mustang as sacrilege

it was the mention of "The Barra Six uses a FRONT sump while all the previous Aussie Ford Sixes had a REAR Sump"

which to me.. thinks he's never looked at the sump in a 6Cyl AU, E Series, X Series Falcon.. which is proberly Fords biggest selling cars.. and theyre all FRONT Sump.. where he's implicating that all the previous Aussie Ford Sixes were REAR.. = FAIL

WTF, why is this an "Epic Fail"? You can't modify anything unless it is a Ford?

Getting a bit one eyed.

it seems to me that you cannot modify anything at all without the fail police having a whinge about it, because their car is so much better

also a crappy shot but this is a HSV Barina.

i consider it fail because when you have cars like the monaro and the SS i dont see the need for a holden special vehicle 4cyl hatch.

I should've gotten pics of this VN that was next to us today..

massive F'off bonnet scoop from a drag car, and then at the set of lights, he tried to dump the clutch, but the clutch dumped onto the ground instead..

i have seen that pulsar a few times on the hume highway, it doesnt look that bad in the photo, actually its not that bad at all but the car looks weird for some reason in person

It looks unfinished, i don't mind the colour, its just the shaved boot and then the number plate moved to the bottom right, stock ride height and wheels, then a big cannon exhuast

i tried to get a photo of this ba xr6 yesterday but the photo came out to dark, white na xr6, xr8 bonnet, still had the xr6 badges on the boot, but on the front bar had v8, cobra, and gt 351 badges

Im sick of looking at badge pics so i'm going to put some effort in and post some good stuff for this thread, hopefully it will re-energise other peoples efforts and clarify what an Epic Fail actually should be. Now pay attention.
So as you can see here there is a 350Z board sliding the railing. How did this happen? Who knows. Is it pretty crazy? Yes. Epic Fail.
.


This here is just plain stupid.. Doesn't really need a caption.



Yet another one displaying severe stupidity..


And here's a classic we've all seen before.
