I just realised. I should have got one of you with your arm out like you were holding something, then chopped the "Iggy Poppin" bucket in your avatar into your arm like you were holding it.

But then again, I'm lazy. Takes me a week to get standard pics up. Photochop ones would take me a couple of years!

The thing i find funny(apart from the obvious) is the 'plastic' car is not damaged as much as the old school 'metal' car

It's easy enough to forget....having done it once when picking up an xr6 turbo from the auctions. All you need is to get distracted at the wrong moment. Luckily we did not have anything bad happen, but it could very easily have.

This P.O.S was parked outside my work today so i managed to get a couple of snaps before the owner came back (note the front is just a stockie monaro front).

For some reason they also took the CV8 badge off the boot and stuck on a badge that says "285i" ?? WHY??

Personal favorite so far? The picture of the VL with the door stickers taking the **** out of the guys who have those "lists" on thier doors of what their car (allegedly) has fitted...

Oh, and those car adverts with BMW, Subaru, etc, one-upping each other? I've seen them before, but they've always been a set of four images...You obviously haven't seen the last one that usually accompanies the series...



...and the missing picture:

You know, I saw a little old Mazda wagon like that a while ago...brown, wide steel wheels with chrome rings and original hubcaps, lowered a little, but looked like any old grandpas car...except for the turbocharged bridgeport 13B under the bonnet...

As for the pic of an R34 Skyline with a Chev badge...you do know there's a thriving industry fitting alloy LS1's into those things...

You are under time stress. The car did not fit well. There was heaps of other activity around. I was answering phone calls, being asked questions by other people, there was a hurry to get it out of the way, .....they are called distractions. It happens to some people, but obviously some are immune to being human and making mistakes. I wish I were perfect. Maybe you could run some classes for the frail minded like the rest of us
