What do you mean by 'smooth doors'? All the cars that you listed feature 'smooth doors'. If you mean frameless windows, then none of them feature this, for good reason. With frameless windows on a four-door sedan, you are not able to wind the rear window down fully. They make more sense on vehicles such as the Falcon Hardtop/Landau, which had much smaller rear windows. In my view, pull handles are a regression design wise. I much prefer the look of traditional door handles, although everyone's tastes differ. In my opinion, the EF is the best looking

People who can't maintain a constant speed on highways FAIL.
Drove down to Mittagong today to get something, and the number of people who slow right back down after overtaking, or take forever to overtake was frustrating. Use your cruise control people!! Hell I even overtake using the increase speed function on cruise.

Epic fails is people, especially mechanics who tighten oil filters that tight you bust 2 or your 3 tools trying to get the damn thing off, no pics unless i go scavenge the old filter out of the bin.

That was a real fail to the person who didn't know how to properly tighten wheelnuts. |

The EA came from the 80s, and they can look pretty nice. VNs however, they cannot look nice.

Not really a fail, but I'm sure it has a home in this thread. Looks like a VE Wagon to me??

yep, it was more the point of what we didn't try, mate of mine with a pair of hands like a vice and the steel band filter wrench i originally bent the handle on got it off. One stage we had a screwdriver through it and a bar on the end and only just got it to move. Once we got it off it looked like a crushed beer can that had also ben shot with a 12 gauge New filter got greased and tightened as it was supposed too. |

I had a volvo speed up from 90 - 140 whilst overtaking them today, They had it absoloutely nailed so noone could get past. Then 5 minutes up the road, after pulling out over double lines to overtake a Semi doing 105, straight into the path of another and having trucks going everywhere and smoke, and stuff, a car finally overtakes said semi, and sits in front of it doing 70. No wonder there are so many fatalities in this state, when people just have no idea how to drive.

From LS1 Forums. Hope it's not a repost.
Train de-railed. Poor brand new FGs, VEs, BMWs and Mercs!
