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

FG was the first to use rear sump.

Says Holden - ??

They did have an ASTRA HSV - Both recently and in the past....

again a 4 year old nokia doesnt have the best quality. right under barina right beside the flick stripe there is a HSV badge all molded in with the barina badge so its not put there afterards

Getting a bit one eyed.

I've seen that orange Pulsar around near me, and while I am all for the owner trying to do something different, it just doesn't work.

You need to see the whole rear end to really appreciate the failure there.

I saw that car around Five Dock the other day. It's......different.

If he saved all that money from the stickers he could have bought a pod filter

had a turbo one at work a few years back, 10,000 ks on the clock, going over the bolte bridge when the turbo packed up, (heading up hill) ,...managed to get off at footscray rd just as the motor shut down, would not start for 1 hour, then got into the city & died again...never to start again,...

How about parking across two disabled parking spots?

fail much?

[Riksta]

I'm wondering about the sign in that pic. Is the highway named after the type of car that's broken down the whole way along the highway?

[LethalLeigh]

They never made a VN Monaro, Rik

That may just be a photo of someone half way through doing a U-turn, otherwise yes an epic fail!

I'm with you on that...after a BAII turbo ute with many problems, and now a BFII XT that isn't the greatest either...my next car might be a ford, depends what's availible/what i can afford...but it won't be a falcon, that's certain

[TC200six]

I don't see how this project would do any good, the body will be extremely rough from all the bog used.

the parents with prams parks peeve me... the little grommets are in prams, they dont care how far away from the door mum parks... and why should some parent pushing a pram get to park closer than others?

[XR Martin]

'Parents' parking cannot be enforced by law though, so anyone can park there. Same with the stupid hybrid parking. Parked my XR8 in one of them once :
