Had to laugh.

Sorry for the blur, was taken on my mobile.

Typical ancient rear suspension that commies have. I workmate scrubbed a new set of rear tires driving to Adelaide and back towing a trailer. (from the Alice) Trailer was not that heavy either, although it was a hot day.

I see a local Ford (either EF or EL model) painted in that metallic orange colour which was available on the VT Series II Commonbores. Don't understand why people do that do a car.

That may possibly be Tiga_EL. He's a member of the forums.

Anyway, LOL at the VT. Now it just needs a bonnet bulge and it would be the ultimate tryhard.

They're just fooking stripes. Its probably more the case that the owner likes the design on BAs and put it on his/her car. Pretty simple really.

If someone puts two stripes on the roof/bonnet/boot of the car, people are going to scream "Cobra ripoff!" as well...
