Default Spotted this on the weekend

Not something I expected to see with that kind of cargo on the roof while on my Saturday drive.

G'day ..All I can say about that is....The XY is a "tree-mendous" car.. He was taking it in for a new set of 'bushes' somewhere on the car..Maybe a wheel alignment cos it's 'scrubbing' out the tyres..Hope he doesn't run up the back of the car in front or he'll be 'rooted' and I reckon the engine would have a nice 'bark' to it..
...Great shot except that it's usually a falcon on a tree , not a tree on a falcon isn't it ? ...Cheers Rod....

I noticed as I overtook it that despite the 'growth' up top that it does look like it's in great condition. Original number plates too.

I wonder if he 'planted' it would all that extra weight 'sap' the power.
Probably only a 3 on the 'tree' 6 'pot' anyway, if so, he should probably 'stump' up for a V8 conversion and 'top loader'
