I posted some pictures of a really pathetic VL that had pink wheels/ Playboy crap a few pages ago, well I just found another picture of it in another thread on here :P



As if riding on stockies at the rear wasn't pathetic enough, making them pink just takes it to a whole new level...

No, it isn't a fail. I just thought the amount of gopros used was funny.

Maybe funnier to someone like me who owns a gopro

edit: oh hey, that's universal. I've been there

I personally love the sound of the 4 cylinder rally motors through the titanium exhausts.

One of the few good sounding 4 cylinders IMO (the garret turbo helps with some of the grunt there )

edit: his last fiesta sounded gruntier than the one in that video, though.

I'm a P plater with a bogan 6 cylinder family sedan and I can honestly say I've never done doughnuts and big smokey burnouts in the middle of suburbia...

Keep it to the skid pan idiots.

VN VZ (or whatever) hybrid

Honestly the filtiest car I've ever seen, photos don't show how bad it was.

A few cars up from the excel.. a creative roof repair on a Hyundai Sonata

Same story inside really, caked with filth and the cup holder was home to about 100 cigarette butts.. horrible

Certainly creative...

Finish it off with a typical P plater stockie'd up commo.

My pet hate is those frigin P-platers that drive around like that.

I could confidently say that 98% of the cars that drive around like that, are filled with absolutely dim witted idiots that drive like true bell-ends.

It's those people who make it an embarrassment to have P-plates on your car -_-
