Personally I've never heard of a Ford Falcon Forte S-pack, but maybe someone here has?
Is that spoiler... from a BA XR6?

Sure is martinijosh. The car was full of fails. Least of all was the drivers ability to operate the vehicle, or lack thereof. Didn't bother removing the license plate because this moron is a road hazard, so steer clear of him!

I can't figure out what's worse, the ba spoiler, the fact that half the lights in said spoiler don't work, or that they've nicked a badge from a commodore.

Commodore badge surely is the most epic fail amongst all the epic fails on this car.

I just want to punch that person in the face really hard.

On the upside for the price you can get it and part it out. If the blowers real you can get a few grand for it.

Don’t even think about it, you could hurt your hand.

I’ll hold him down and you can belt him with a lump of wood. I just wish that I could "un see" that.

It's not a bseries spoiler. The AU3's had the squared off style one. You're better off saying BA's had AU spoilers

They came out on AUII. In fact I've got one on my AU! It certainly does look similar to a BA one though.

Urrgh...

Do it properly...for some years there was one of those Bertone-designed "chopped top" looking two door Volvo 240-series running around, and it had a heavily worked 350 Chev tucked away in it...otherwise pretty much standard looking so you had no idea it wasn't a granddads car.

That intersection is a magnet for idiots. The amount of crashes/ near misses/ brain fades I have seen there is amazing. I live nearby and avoid it like the plague. Lucky he didn't hit your car!
