Apparently they made less than 100 of them - making them very rare...

But - why would you want one??

Hmmm, HSV Jackaroo...

'bout as desirable as a Brock Lada Samara.....

So the short version is that HSV made a "sports" model by fitting a spare tyre cover. I think Ford did a similar thing with the Territory Turbo.

Oh no wait, they put a turbo on it.

Hahahahaaha GOLD

huggiebear · 16-12-2010, 06:30 PM

i just noticed.. HSV's 4x4 only came in auto... hmmm there is a selling point

Jim Goose · 16-12-2010, 07:02 PM

Sorry about the quality, but today we were following this gem.

Fully ***... lowered, big rims, illegal window tint, massive chrome grill...

Possibly the ugliest thing on wheels? Its a box....

NOTE: THE ABOVE PICTURE IS NOT AN EPIC FAIL IN MY OPINION, JUST COMPARING IT TO A HSV JACKAROO.

**TUF_302** · 16-12-2010, 07:29 PM

The HSV Jackaroo= Fail!
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8= Major Win!

huggiebear · 16-12-2010, 08:19 PM

Matt47569 · 16-12-2010, 09:35 PM

P100 Ute · 16-12-2010, 09:54 PM

Fail @ Trains this arvo 100metres from Mandurah Station
http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-...mandurah-line/

huggiebear · 16-12-2010, 09:59 PM

thats some bent track.. was it from heat?

P100 Ute · 16-12-2010, 10:36 PM

no idea what happened. its in a set of points. maybe the points didnt flick over properly.
could of had some ballast caught in it. and the train has hit the end..
but im not exactly sure on the cause. just speculating what might of happened.

388cube_edxr8 · 16-12-2010, 10:48 PM

Whoever did that is on a fast track to losing his job.

munkky · 17-12-2010, 12:47 AM

Doubt it. Looks to be on a track circuited area therefore the signal wouldn't clear if the points were not all the way over. Could of had a spad and hit catch points though.

You're Joking... Right??

martinijosh · 17-12-2010, 10:24 AM

Chrome on your chrome so you can be shiny while you're being ugly.

Wing on yo wing so you can get extra down force on the rear wheels... in a front wheel drive. Yeahhhhh bbrroooo.

You'd better tell them what a "spad" is, and yes i'm more inclined to go with your theory.

Jimmyd · 17-12-2010, 12:50 PM

Is it just me or does that engine look to be short a few cylenders?

Really badly tarted up 180SX????

LOL yeah you forget that people don't understand these things that are just normal words to me.

A SPAD is a signal passed at danger (RED).
In areas with a risk of a head on crash if a train runs a red signal they have these 'points' which basically can be set off to the side while the signal is red and are made to derail the train out of the path of other tracks.
Defeats the purpose since this train is across multiple tracks.

Pretty sure it's a Supra. But then again, why would you do that to a Supra?

How much does it cost to install gas though?

How many K's would you have to drive to be in front???

Probably not worth it for the average driver. If you do a few hundred kms a day it may help.
