saw the dumbest fail on the weekend...
p plater in his early 00's lancer, driving at night with parkers on and his green fog lights that lit up about 1ft infront of him.
i had a great chuckle when a semi pulled out infront of him. of course the headlights stayed off...

As a fellow AU fanboy, I can understand your pain. A small part of me dies whenever I see a riced up AU (or EF/EL, for that matter). They deserve better treatment than that!

Fully "spew my guts up" Taurus
We are having a "smash up derby" hmmm could quite easily let this thing loose. I would park it in the middle of the arena and put a big red target on it.

Someone has bid on the Hektik Taurus, meaning it will find another home.

I would like to see the wheel which was oringially intended for that grotesquely distended rear guard - 18"x12"s maybe?

If I parked that at my place, my neighbours would chip in to buy it off me to remove it in the interests of neighbourhoos reputation. Actually..........

Perhaps, as Ford fans, to preserve the bran, we should consider a chip in fund to buy and crush this thing?
