There was a VT in a car yard near me about a year ago that was painted citric acid with GT side stripes. I see it once every blue moon driven by a lady. There was a dunnydore wagon near the inlaws that had ELGT bonnet scoops.

I drove over to Adelaide a few weeks ago and on the Highway coming towards me was a white Territory with complete Cobra striping - identical blue - the lot. Looked absolutely ridiculous and I didn't get it at all.

So if you want to beat em, ya gotta join em, and being manual makes the time even more credible.

Speaking of the Epic Fails thread, whatever happened to it, I haven't seen it pop up for ages?

Should get back into that thread, was gold, quite a few pages to trawl through as well.

Speaking of the Epic Fails thread though; and in the nature of this thread, Chrysler Grilles should not be used on an AU.

Sorry, had to be done.

There's actually a write up on it being built though, with pictures of a regular AU getting butchered to create it - http://www.justauto.com.au/justcars/...0-6c36023b4837

Now, to find pictures of the gold Taurus - I love that thing, think I should try buy it for an All Ford Day entry, almost bound to NOT win a prize!

Edit - here it is in all its beauty:

I can't put it to words how ugly that AU is... whoever did that should be kept away from any car FOR LIFE!

The Taurus too... both the modifier and the designers.
