There is a guy here who has tried to turn a BA fairlane into an XR fairlane. Has the bunp in the hood, skirts, mags, sounds horrible, looks bad because the body kit wasn't made for that car....
I should get a pic when I next see it.

There is a bloke that drives around Carlingford in Sydney with the number plates PFLOYD. The entire car has been wrapped in a Pink Floyd inspired vinyl including the prism on the bonnet, a big eye ball on the back quarter, the boot/bumper/quarters are wrapped in bricks, there's the hammers too.. Standard wheels, standard height - well it's a standard XT other than the wrap..

Not really sure whether it's a win or a fail hey lol No pics sorry :(

Mate, human instinct is to look at any threat whilst driving. usually resulting in crashing into said threat. Why do you think brocky hit that tree right where his door was? :(

Thats one thing I learnt on skidpan. First time around, I was told not to look at the cones, and pretend they were all street poles or trees. I nailed probably 10 out of 20. Then the instructor came in and showed me that as I was going around I was looking at the witches hats while sliding, and mowing them all down. After a few times at it, I learnt not to look at them, and now dont hit many at all.

chamberlain rd wyoming if my memory is correct.

i worked with the guys that had to go and fix the powerpole that night (i think we were fixing something on the same pole a year or two after the acco) they showed me where the accident started, the pole he hit, where the car ended up and where the blood was splattered. he must have been really moving..

Uhhh I think those racoon eyes are made from black electrical tape or something. Forget retard test, the person who did that would fail an IQ test.

A B-series XT can have 8 cylinders. Still doesnt require bonnet bulge though (unless you drop in the DOHC motor).
