HOLY CRAP!!! THAT is why we have a road toll!!!

And the powers that be are more interested in persecuting me for doing 63km/h in a 60 zone thus being such a danger to society.

There have been some doozys in this thread.

Yeah, I am failing to see the fail there too.
That would have taken a great deal of time, money and effort to do.

It may not be to everyones taste, but you can certainly appreciate the effort.

I don't know a great deal about older cars,
but the door handle on that convertible next to it... is that an E-series door handle?

I thought the commodore handles of that era were chrome and much smaller.

So we shouldn't spend money on cars? Guess i better sell my EL then...

Its some tastefull airbrushing on a relitively cheap and easy to modify car, we can't all go out and buy a brand new mega dollar car to airbrush it

Logic makes no sense

same saying could go for anything on the barryboys site mate. Tasteful is not the word, maybe theres a gap in translation from reality to photo, because it looked Fing terrible.

the only thing fail about it is the fact it has a dash mat covering a perfectly good paint job. and most likely destroying it.. that and its auto :P interior would look soo much better with a manual and colour coded boot on it

I would say the dash mat is there so he can see out of the windscreen. I bet the orange reflects like a bastard on the 'screen.

Not sure if this is the same "fully hektic" Taurus that was posted here, or if it's a new one.
Either way, it's a sight to behold:
eBay link

The Seller Description is just head-slappingly atrocious.

Hmmmm.... did you read the fantastic command of grammar and spelling in the ad? Looks as though the owner may be as "unique" as the car!!!
