well hard to see that there is no disabled permit from the rear, but anyhow

i park my car in disabled spots, sometimes i forget to put the permit up

but i have one, for what? never you mind

What I am curious about is why the wagon its considered a fail.

Perhaps it's the craptacular body kit? The front bumper looks alot like one off a commodore.

I frequently park sideways across multiple disabled parks, sometimes I hook up the trailer just so I can cover more ground.

Did you see the horrible ricer body kit?

Looks like the side skirts are on backwards, and I think the guy's had to modify the rear bar to fit, or he made it himself, either way it's shocking.

Oh and it has a bonnet scoop, which likely does nothing.

It's just fail.

**El Venom** · 08-12-2010, 11:40 AM

The wagon is mine. The side skirts are Genuine EL GT that are lengthed to fit. The rear bar is still being made and the bonnet scoop is actually part of the induction (shaker style) Things you cant see is the dual exhaust, shaved tail gate and the number plate in the rear bar. I admit it does look bad now but as its in the procces of getting done.

No it's real, there's a company doing them in all different (and equally ugly) designs.

All it's doing though is making an already ugly car even uglier.

You can easily tell it was designed by VW... It's a shame because the golf and polo look quite nice, but the rest of their line up is rank.

Yum, wind deflectors on a Chevrolet Commodore.

And this is one of the better looking ones.....

oh wow that EL wagon

this thread has just gone from gold to double platinum

tankclare · 08-12-2010, 02:46 PM

Can see a big tin of worms about to open up over Mr EL Venom's wagon. Leave it alone. Most projects look rough when they are only half finished. Give the bloke a chance lol

Exactly right. I assumed it was a work in progress. The guy has to get it around somehow in the mean time.

**El Venom** · 08-12-2010, 03:14 PM

Actually it only sits in the back yard. Rain, money and a recent stroke make progress slow.

For some its a fail, for others its not but really who cares. Besides the rear bar and bonnet scoop the rest of the body kit is Ford (EB GT flares and EL GT skirts) or designed solely for a ford falcon (Venom front bar for EL) so I dont quite get how it can be ricey.

In the end who cares if its a fail. Its mine, its unique and at the end of the day I wont have 1 of thousands of white e-series wagon clones or any other clone

Mate it's YOUR car, do what YOU like to it; and I'm surprised that you have shown a lot of restraint as I would have told them to **** off!

**El Venom** · 08-12-2010, 03:33 PM

Everyone is entitled to there opinion. My opinion is that without people doing something different and not considered a cool mod there would be very little evolution of the auto industry and we would all be driving around in cars that are all basically the same except for colour and that to me would be a fail

huggiebear · 08-12-2010, 04:36 PM

but isnt that what this thread is about? owners think the cars are cool, everyone else thinks its a fail.. im sure if you asked the owner of the ford taurus he would think his car is **** hot...

im not saying anything about any ones car in particular, im just saying the reason this thread is here. if your car is in it then so be it. get over it and move on. if you want to debate it take it to PM

mrfordfairmont · 08-12-2010, 04:54 PM

el venom's car has been posted before

huggiebear · 08-12-2010, 04:56 PM

Geez Huggie, for a moment there I thought you said Ford Taunus!

XCwillo · 08-12-2010, 06:11 PM

I ALMOST forgot to post this picture in here, was the sole reason i got it. Been meaning to take a picture of it for a while now. whenever we go cruising he is allllways there, driving the auto like a manual and doing one wheel skids -_-
Notice it has writing on the bonnet which has been done with paint strippers :S

And one night it had words written all over it in chalk >_>

I present to you...
