Mate that's nothing. We have a 100 series landcruiser at work with ARABS plates! You should see the amount of gestures and anger that car gets. another employee was chased through an intersection with schooners of beer being launched at them when towing a horse float with it.

Why do people even care what others drive,have as plates or plastered all over their cars ????

Mate had many many years ago a sticker on his rear bumper of his LJ Torana it read ,
"You can be FIRST after me "
That curled the blood of many a V8 owner, but not a true word was spoken
There wasnt many v8 s that could touch it

Some people really need to get a life, perhaps outside facebook .......

people are funny cattle arn't they??

when we first bought our Territory it seemed that EVERY Toyota 4wd driver just HAD to get in front of us and then just stay there!!

all we did was think about the fact that the terry would drive and ride rings around any Toyota 4wd and continue on our way in comfort

people soon got used to it ...

If you drive an evo like that, I wouldn't worry about who does what when you're driving the work hack!

The photo was taken at IMG when I collected the car.
They have some sweet rides in there.
Lambo's, Aston's, Ferrari's, they have them all... including Nissan Cubes!

Ha, the amount of times I wish I was in my Evo as it always puts bogans in their place. People call it a rice burner, I call it a bogan burner.

I assumed the storage fees were expensive so I agreed, later I found out it only costs $25 a year!

I'd be more worried about parking next to the wrong yobbo at the shops and losing the plates or getting your car keyed.

Well the first day I had my xr8 el with plates XR8001 a bloke at the shops asked why I had those plates and xr8 badges and xr front clip on a gli... I tryed telling him its a genuine xr8 but wasnt optioned with the tickford skirt package..

Thats when it became a heated argument that not all the xr8's came with the lower bodykit..

he still didnt accept that as being true..
As he works for aami insurance and knows more about cars blah blah blah


The motto of the story "there are some jealous tools out there" haha

Lockie have not seen you for a while could see you at Bathurst park your ute next to mine no one will notice...lol...

My QIK 001 plates have to be put on something before 28th dec. or I will lose them. When they were on the Subie they caused a stir might put them on the Ute, sure to get the red light boy racers interested....

Life is so very short young fella, we all need to be reminded about our own directions and decisions.

Who really cares what others think about or do to your company car.

Forget the rest, look after the best, YOU.

fix = de badge it, v8 bonnet, and the lumpiest cam you can find.

or as it is a company car, why not suggest to get an advertisement decal on the side of the ute.. it's obviously attracting attention..

I don't really let it get to me just having a little rant.

I know how you feel mate, being a p-plater also. I've got a Boss bonnet on mine, and the looks that I get from XR8, FPV owners think (assuming) what a tool this guy is.. just shrug it off, but most of the time people ask how it's possible I could drive a V8. If you cant buy one, why not make one to appear and sound that you are.

Well it looks like the car will be getting a make over.
Car is getting wrapped, big AP brake package and some of the V8 race ute wheels. Hopefully this keeps the drop kicks at bay.
