Imagine how much effort that would take, with longer driveshaft, extra doors, changed roof, longer wheelbase, etc. Its a glowing endorsement of the Commodore that taxi operators would rather spend tens of thousands converting a Commodore for wheelchair duties instead of outfitting a Hiace van or a Tarago.

EPIC understeer. That guy needs to stick some very thick sway bars in that thing. It's bouncing and sliding all over the place (in the wrong way)

This is another kind of fail

Someone's lame EA Falcon modification attempt...


AU rocker cover's red paint is peeling off



The thing was also extremely low to the ground, found out it was because the springs had been cut short so it needed new springs so it could become roadworthy.

The headlights, bonnet and front bar are almost an exact copy of BA XR8.

Are those webcams or lights????? What the... must be REALLY bad at parking, or an incredibly keen afficionado of bitumen surfaces.

I posted this on another thread a couple years ago... just thought I'd resurrect it.

Spotted this super-sporty Camry at Highpoint shopping centre (my apologies for the crap pics):

Fully sick white grilles and "bonnet protector" (made out of white duct tape). I think those bumper protuberances are supposed to be fog lights. Love the Jim Beam seat covers. Blame the booze for making him create this monstrosity.


The all-too-common fake bonnet scoop from Autobarn...


More white duct tape on the B-pillars.


This mofo's for sale! I'm diggin' all the chrome and white pinstriping on the *** end. Check out the German flag on the rear window, and the "twin" exhausts which don't match.


You can't see it here, but the exhaust tip on the left is just bolted onto a bracket under the body.


Hope you like it.
