What got me about that kid who "borrowed" that fazza is, if any of us owned one, I would definetly have the keys to it grafted onto my body or something. I wouldn't leave them just lying around for my kid to nick!

Where I am I see aussie flags or the aussie pride stickers on everything. German luxury barges, english fords, holdens with chen badges, jap imports and I just laugh to myself everytime. Cant get more aussie then a falcon painted in aussie falg colour with a big aussie flag/ map on the back door

Theres nothing wrong with having an aussie pride sticker or a southern cross on your car (be it Australian or not) it symbolises that you are aussie not the car. Anyway back on topic please.

Yep, that's it. For some reason I thought it happened on Dandenong Road, but yeah it was near Rod Laver.

I don't think I'd be going home after that one.

Anywhere from 190-390 K for a F350 Spider new, then your LCT and other fees, so you'ld be looking at something over 250K as the entry price.

There are a lot of bogan ricers getting around the Redlands area in Brisbane. This one spotted parked along the street near the Stradbroke barge in Cleveland.
