^^^^^ I passed that thing on Gympie road, Brisbane, just outside the servo where that picture was taken. There was a lebanese guy driving it and a badge on the back that said RIP GT, out of those chrome letters you can get from Repco.

Just a little north of here, last weekend:





Already had both Saturdays high tides and one Sunday over it. Things aren't going well.

“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Oh boy I saw a ripper about an hour ago. Driving through Maitland I saw a dead stock VY Exec with a huge race wing, Holden sticker along the front window, and Chev badges.

I didn't have enough time to take a photo, but what a fail.

Only in America mate, but when they modify their cars with taste nothing comes close IMO.

Saw a silver C200 yesterday with the personalised number plate that said "JENIUS", that's right, spelt with a letter "J" instead of "G". Now I realise that people swap letters due to availability and all, but one shouldn't make a spelling error when it comes to purporting ones superior intelligence. Sorry I couldn't get a photo, he was coming the other way and I missed the opportunity.

Maybe it was meant to be Jeni - U.S.

At least its readable i guess, some of the ones I've seen around here, i cant even think what they could mean.

Default Saw this today.
This street has to be one of the safest in my area. The street at this point is two lanes separated by a very wide central island. 50kmhr limit. At this point the road is smooth, there is no way you could possibly lose control on this road. Some how they've done this... Mounted the kerb and tried some tree climbing...

Seriously, you couldn't do that if you tried.
Well done.
Obviously these people aren't Top Gear fans, otherwise they'd just push it back over and drive ala Jeremy with the Robin Reliant.
