imo its crap, but it does the potential i guess?
i pretty much always have the brakes on at the lights, and ive never warped a disc yet.

Could be sitting there on a level surface with the handbrake on ?
Could be about to move of if the light's are about to go green ?
Could be many different reason's why ?.
But if it is indeed a manual then I could see why he might not be on the brakes.

Dont see why everyones having such a cry about that photo. That car is manual, in manual cars you can sit on a level road, in neutral and not have your foot on the brake, doesnt take half a brain to figure that out, my god.

Don't worry, just me again, saving the thread from pointless discussion on a matter which is irrelevant to why this thread was created:

And LOL at this,

Good on you for keeping the thread on track mate. You're uncovering some real corkers.

MrsLow006 · 20-06-2011, 06:12 AM

EL with poor attempt at replication of umm..... not sure.... is a fail ....

If everyone like the same thing then this Thread would be a fail

As far as the lady with the VL, yes pink is horrible but calling her all the names under the sun is just immature.

i think that its pretty sad to put this car in the fail thread. it is bloody true blue australian. and i think it was owned by a member of this forum....

Yes the EL was owned by a member on here, Me and the whole theme was done for less then $100 and was done dodgy and I admit that and have learnt my lesson to never use enamel paint again and for that reason people can call the car a fail if they want. The sedan has been in this thread before along with my wagon and in the case of the sedan it seemed that more people didnt consider it a fail. As said in my other post the way it was painted was the fail, the way it looked before I painted it made it a fail but it was not a mock up or replica of any particular car. It was painted to look like it could have been a race car.

If you wanna call it a fail because it looks similar to something it clearly wasnt instead of the shocking way I did the paint then go ahead but if that is how you define a fail then how are the 1000's of mock up GT's and now FPV's not a fail in your eyes?

|Nate · 20-06-2011, 10:19 AM

The paint job may have turned out a fail but the effort for trying and giving it a shot anyway is win!

Continuing on:

fasty73 · 20-06-2011, 10:52 AM

I thought the falcon was a win mate.

**Polyal** · 20-06-2011, 11:12 AM

Terrible EL...although Im sure that car was actually on these forums at one point too. I think it wouldnt be that bad if it wasnt for the scoop.

The ED is a crack up..LOL..it went like stink too IIRC.

Now, I like Celicas...I own an '82 Celica RA60 (the liftback version of that one in the picture). But that one...
The size of the wheels and slammed suspension really make me want to know what's going on under the bonnet...but that exhaust makes me want to know what's going on in the guys head...

Whats odd about that? I see commodores dressed like that every day!

When i work out how to upload a pic i will post a SHOCKER

|Nate · 20-06-2011, 12:25 PM

2011G6E, my thought was maybe they're going for that "Bazousakukgk" can't remember what its called, Japan modifying look.
Although they haven't done much to get it there other than the stupid exhaust.

Fev · 20-06-2011, 12:38 PM

Bosozuku look, drift pipes, wide deep dish small diameter wheels - nice imo

Pretty sure I found another shot of it

**Polyal** · 20-06-2011, 12:40 PM

Yeah no issues with the celica...the only state you can get away with that tyre width is Tassie...honestly every Gemini is like that.

im not having a go at you here but id like to put my input in. i drove this car. drove awesome, got some damn good attention. there is nothing wrong with enamel paint, its the fact you used the pressure packs from supercheap (as you said in your post above) and when you say before i hope you mean with the white because when it was full blue when you bought it the car was stunning... but i also admit its not my taste but its good to have something different.

fasty73 · 20-06-2011, 06:13 PM

That "silly car" looks, well like a SILLY CAR.

May I ask why they can't talk about epic fails in an "Epic Fail's" thread? Why would anyone start a new thread when there is this thread that was made EXACTLY for that type of talk...

Uhmmm, I don't think you have realised the thread name nor the general user response to pink playboy stickers on cars.
Therefor, I'm inclined to believe you had a slight,

moment.

So I'm just going to post this:

You know you're cool when you put a cannon on a (Pajero?) or equivalent 4X4 |:
