Epic Fail's - Motoring [Read original post, no off topic discussion]

[Yellow_Festiva]

I'll add a few more from my travels. Some varied modes of road transport:

Vietnam: Who needs a small hatch back to cart family / goods around when you can load the same on the the back of a scooter anyway?



















Egypt:





Germany:





Amsterdam:





Paris:





Laos:





One of my favourites from the net:

The corvette 'zee 01' burnout fail is just gold.

Stupid owner, and scary part, it wasn't until the other stupid yank man filming tells him the smoke was from the driveline. She's cooken up good now...

Very handy blokes they'd be to have around.

This is the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's epic fail for destroying a perfectly good 1959 Bel-Air. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWdZGWIKdV0

They were actually Wheel Chair Taxi's in the day.
Obviously it has a different front end than it should.

XF's were also made into these taxi's as well.

[Yellow_Festiva]

So some guy has bought an ex wheelchair taxi, perhaps to drive around someone in, hmm lets say a wheelchair and it's considered a fail?

So the front end is in primer... something you need to do prior to painting.

Lets just keep the pictures to things that are of ridiculously poor taste / form found on the road. I don't think the wheelchair carrying commodore falls into that category.

Anyone notice in post 2 with the bentley, the brakes themselves are the size of the wheels on the car behind! :p

The "fail" of it is it's a VN/VP wheelchair taxi, with a VR/VS frontend.

x2. Plus the wheels on it are more than likely worth more than the car. Which, by definition, is R.I.C.E.

[Yellow_Festiva]

Hmmm different front ends. That I didn't notice.

Sorry, took the 'fail' as the fact that the person was driving around in a wheel chair transporter.

Carry on then. I'm in the process of finding a pic I took in Thailand.. saw a wheel on a small car, 4 stud design, but the wheel was drilled, re-drilled, then re-drilled again.. bout 10-12 holes around the face of the wheel haaaa.

[Yellow_Festiva]

Bugger, can't find that DVD with Thailand pics.

Found this however... straight off the streets of Laos!

gday all !. throwing this question open for all.
thinking of
starting a non car related "epic fail" thread ?. keeping it reas clean of course. along the lines of "what jokes do you know".

what do others think ?

[Fled74]

Found these on my hard drive. Apologies for any reposts.

Someone wanted their own "I Am Robot" Audi hovercar.


Instead of spending all that money converting his Skyline into a Mustang, he could have bought an Eleanor replica.


Someone wanted a WRX.


I have no words for these next ones.





Not real, just a mickey take by some garage guys. Funny though.


Not cars, but DAMN.

Good idea. But perhaps I have 1 suggestion. Limit the pictures to actual ones that members have personally taken.

There are probably 10 dozen dedicated web sites for 'epic fails' and the post will be full of copy and pastes....

I have a very good collection to add to a general 'epic fail' thread ;)

[RedHotGT]

Inspired by the FULLY HEKTIC Taurus again....

Apparently this Taurus owner saw the Gold Beast (haha) in Sydney and decided that the only thing he could do would be to destroy his car...

Another TAURUS FAIL?



All we need is a Rodger Cordia smash FAIL and this thread will be complete!

General Lee - you all know it....



Well, it seems that there are a lot of people out there attempting (read:FAILING) to replicate the General on various vehicles....
Below are some of the better (read:WORSE) attempts....
Warning: Does include some R.I.C.E.














There was more - but these are some of the better ones!

Cheers! (and happy new year!)

The bus was cool, but the weirdest ones were probably the Suzuki X-90, the Jeep, and the multitude of cr4ppy French cars with that paint.

[Nikked]

Thas kinda cool, the old panel van day's were a good era of custom cars.
