This is a FAIL in my eyes...
Just seen on the back of a bus down here in Melbourne...

Doesn't BOLTING an advertising board over the top of an emergency exit (that pushes out) cause a bit of an issue???

Not only that, it looks like she’s sitting on a portable crapper.

Not sure if this is a win or fail. It's a Claytons 4WD - the 4WD you have when you don't have a 4WD.

Sorry for the dodgy pic. The car is Diahatsu Charade with massive mudflaps, roof rack (with spare tyre), bullbar complete with fishing rod holders, and the obligatory rear window stickers.

Skull dragging a caravan ?

Quote:
On freeway, smells like burnout, no it's that caravan with no focking wheels. **** doing 90 didn't give a fock just skull draging the **** along on rims and suspension.
Quote:
We went back and had a look at the marks.
It starts at mandurah, goes to thomas rd and into a housing estate.
Caravan parked out front of a house with worn down rims, jason got some photos, pretty funny ****.
