For the amount of money he wasted on it he probably could have bought a 5-10 year old genuine Ferrari.

I like how he says it undefectable, yet its sitting about 5 cm off the ground.

WOW! Some people have just no idea! There is a reason he spent 130k on it and its hit 20k! Even that is extreme!

Would you spend this amount on that rear?
FERRARI BACK END CUSTOM MADE OF FIBRE GLASS $18,000

Imagine what this poor bloke is going to do to his XR6T if this is his taste!
Q: dammmnnn..... i just bought a modded xr6 turbo last week..... where were u..... best looking car i have ever seen congrates........

What could you do for that money! As stated .... "Hasnt appeared in a mag or at a show yet ...... " There is a reason for that!!!!!

well, ive been holding out on you guys.
this is my rice, i call it whole grain rice as its a little rough.
till today it had a TOTAL PERFORMANCE sticker on the hatch and a KAKIMOTO RACING sticker above the drivers door handle. (it came like that - i swear!).
it also has some big shiney F/O muffler that makes it sound like 'Too Rice-Too Riso'.
i almost forgot. it has an 'Ultra Rice' LED flashing gearstick knob too!
anyway, i bought it for $250 and it only needs about another $250 spent on it for it to be RWC.
it also has an alarm and remote start which is kinda cool.
it will be my work car since its a 60km round trip every day.
future mods: $50 roll on paint job - if i can be bothered lol.

Thanks for the move to the appropriate thread Falcon coupe!

I felt i had to share this with you guys on the forum, I feel guilty for hanging onto these photos now for over 3 weeks without showing them off to anyone.




Well, I couldn't believe my luck when I was lucky enough to have stumbled upon this vehicle while doing my thing, trucking around the S/E suburbs a few weeks back.
I have caught a glimpse of this vehicle numerous times as I navigate my way through the surrounding suburbs of Dandenong, usually mistaking it for a swarm of angry bee's, or grandma behind the controls of her old sewing machine from the sound being emitted from the rather large novelty type Cannon muffler protruding from the rear bar.

This car had eluded me for some time until, I cornered the beast in the parking lot where i was delivering some goods a few weeks ago.

With nowhere to go, It was at the mercy of me and my camera, but i couldn't keep my hands from trembling from the sheer adrenalin that was pumping through my veins from being so close to such an awesome piece of man made machinery. I could almost hear it inhaling all the oxygen around me through its Cold air intake scoops, thankfully the car was fitted with racing clips and pins to keep the bonnet from flinging open and devouring me whole.

I managed to compose my self enough to fire off a few shots and these are the still images i managed to capture.
Shortly after the last photo was taken ( see, sporty interior shot ) the owner noticed i was loitering around HIS vehicle, I used some cunning diversion tactics and evaded interrogation. In minutes from being detected, I was on my merry way with photographs in hand and a sense of immense achievement.


Please, Enjoy.













Apologies for the reflection in this photograph, i tried my best to reduce the glare so you too can experience it.



Not clearly visible in this shot is the rather bogan paraphernalia scattered around the floor inside this car which i found rather amusing, and puzzling, ranging from thongs to bongs.
Yes, like me, I bet you were sure this car was piloted by someone of oriental decent. No offense intended.

That is the funniest and most well thought out post I have ever read on these forums, the anticipation built up from the story still has me laughing. Well done.

I have a dodgy pic of a vn era crudodore with an ironing board on the bootlid, but have no way of getting it off my phone. Was spotted in the Bankstown area.
That explains a lot...

There was a Renault Megane just like that owned by the mum of someone I used to go to school with. It was originally black then got resprayed pink and they were using it as an advert for their dance company. It may be the same one, but if not its damn similar.

I saw a stock VX Commodore with a stuck on "metal" fuel door, stuck on side exhausts and what looked like a piece of box section steel welded on as an exhaust tip. I got a photo of the back with my phone and will upload it later.
