yes put passing design rules for a certain era and adding stupid crap onto the bonnet yourself are two different things entirely

You really think those things wouldn't do any damage if you were hit by a car sporting them? They're sharp, they might not be strong but if you hit them in the right way or they get you in a soft spot i'm sure they could possibly puncture you. I doubt they're made of musk sticks!

This is now the third company logo deleted in as many days.

It is not funny to say that an entire companies range is invalid nor is it the focus of this thread.

Every time one in put on here from now on it will attract an argumentative warning which is 20 points and a holiday.

This is the outright winner of the 2011 Finke Desert Race, Greg Gartner, at the event after. Not the way you want to come off the line, especially in the Prologue.

Bit unsure about that. Don't know how to react!
That model Subaru only came in AWD. Even in N/A form it was only ever AWD! Good effort though.

I'm on the same page with that pic. It kind of looks good but it kind of dosn't. There is something about it that I can't quite put my finger on.

Hard to believe cars like the Aztek go through all that development work and no one say, "hang on, maybe its not such a good idea"....

Back in Oz, look at this cracker....its got two aerials among other amazing features! Are they Foose style spotties too....

The Limited edition BA XR6 Cobra. In fact, judging by the badges on the back, it's the super rare " V.I.P. " model.
