Reminds me of my dodgy fix to my headlight before I changed them...
had a piece of wood to keep the aim right so I didnt blind oncoming drivers...

Ignorant.

Why, for the love of god, does a car need to go fast? We have ever tightening laws reagrding the perfomance aspects of a car, and not everyone wants to be at a race track every weekend. You can't go fast on the street, so whats wrong with having a custom cruiser? Nothing.

I don't feel safe in slow cars, I like to know that if I need to power out of a situation, I can...

No law against accelerating quickly to a high speed limit

What is it how is it enforced. Where is the line between almost to fast and too fast.

You can only go to 110 Kmh anyways....

I agree not a fail, otherwise half the forum could be classed in the same vein... Why do we add wheels & bodykits etc to our cars... to make them different.... Well that is definately different.....

Not once did I imply that one couldnt spend money on cheap cars. I was simply pointing out that his 13k selling price would be far below what he has invested into it. In fact, I was praising the ingenuity put into it. Hence why I cannot understand your comment in relation to mine.

Feel free to enlighten me if ive perceived it wrong.

It's ********. If you don't break traction what law can you get done for. When pulling onto a 100 zone I'll flat floor it anyway.

It pretty much all comes under the hoon laws.

XCwillo · 29-10-2010, 07:57 PM

Lol at that Va...
Oh i thought this was the Epic Fail thread
Not the 'Page long Prove-your-point'
Serially guys no one cares in this thread
*ahem*
Lol at that Van!
Cause you need a $400 Tacho to tell you when the car is changing gear -__-

Edit: Actually the front of that van looks freakin sick!
Needs to be all black tho imo

driving with undue acceleration... got a mate that had his AU XR8 impounded because he took off too quick in 1st. its not bull ****, its the law

Fled74 · 29-10-2010, 08:48 PM

That van would be ok if it was in a satin black finish.

JimNiki · 29-10-2010, 09:15 PM

that van looks ok from the outside but that dash reminds me of the camry dash from my 02 camry company car! eg: brain numbingly boring!

TheInterceptor · 29-10-2010, 10:36 PM

Van needs to be painted matt black and have a set of deep dish rims put on it, in turn changing the body kit to suit....but it doent look too bad as it is.

At least he put in a tacho into a car that didnt have one in the first place.

the only black on that van should be the soot after it has been set on fire.

Ben73 · 30-10-2010, 01:04 AM

But surely the cops won't get you in trouble for honing while accelerating up to the limit quickly in a 100-110 zone.

Anyway there are many laws that are ****. Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's actually bad.

Grippy · 30-10-2010, 11:48 AM

40,000k's without an oil change? So much for mechanical sympathy...
