Check out the VT-VX Rear "Racing Camber" I love how many of these get around without them being corrected.

The best part is, when my parents bought a VT a few years back, the dealer actually told them exactly what I just said, along with: "camber was adjusted for performance driving".

Oh god I nearly wet myself with laughter....

The extra tyre wear is free of charge too! Bahahaha

I didn't get a photo of it but there was a real bogan spec, cut springed VN 5L at the same lights, which a learner was driving. Oh the people inside that vehicle were funny, all I could see was his nose and eyes and the top of his head, slouched over with one fist on the steering wheel, the way VNs are usually driven!

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Apart from the shaker (which some people would like) I like it. I think it looks like some guy half way through modifying his car. I believe those fronts can be purchased off the shelf. Hardly an epic fail.
