Thumbs down
Leaving a dyno day , this gentleman lost it in front of an off duty cop and then proceeded to tell the policeman his brakes just locked up on him ...









Shame it wasn't a redneck and had to be one of ours ....

Pretty sure there was some sarcasm involved with that question , as there is some humour in mine I have been in 2 x Ba's with chev transplants ( the pic above is one of them ask Pedro )and they sound much tuffer than anything Ford outs out , especially with cams....

imo, the LSI's don't sound particularly good for a v8, especially compared to Ford's 5.4. The Australian 5.0 Holden sounded sweet though.

Agreed. The LS1s sound awful. 5 litre up to the VT was nice and the Ford V8s sounded awesome up to AUIII.

This was my VX SS - only had a cat-back exhaust.
Rest of the car was stock.
Didnt think it sounded too bad.

Get rid of the silver mesh (what is it with people and that ugly ****?) and the eyelid-looking things on the headlights and that wouldn't look too bad.

Saw this in the city, just off St Kilda road the other day.

WTF…




I guess this could fall under epic fail, actually this is even worse. This is UN BLOKEWORTHY.
I was stuck at this intersection for what seemed like ages, and the whole time I was there, this old bloke was reading his paper. If you’re not prepared to perve on the sheilas washing your car, why take it to Kittens?



Anyone know of a septic tank business that wants to advertise in this bloke’s car?

I was just trying to line up a decent shot of the bumper and how bad it looked when the door opened and they jumped out, oh well.

That is so unfair, how come adelaide can't have a carwash full of hot chics for me to perv on? Would save me both the effort of washing my car, and give me something to look at!
