Could it be the brightness of the 5 or 6 spotlights mounted atop that worries you? Need not worry, responsible users usually only allow for the highways.

Might the aggressive stance of the bullbar frighten you? Well, settle, unless you are a kangaroo, contact will not be made.

Is it that you be afraid of the numerous aerials which may or may not intercept some secretive information you might relay. Well, unless you are on the same frequency, worry not.

My XF ute is slowly making its way into B&S territory, [which isn't really what I was planning], and sure, I can't get a truck license, so a few Kenworth stickers wont go astray. And being a fan of the ol' Bundy Bear, sure he'll get a look in on some "window space". And, I'm sure you wouldn't have slept at night until I said it, the first sticker to grace the tailgate was indeed 'R.M. Williams'.

And here, here, here, wait for this...I live in Sydney City, not rural. SHOCK HORROR!!!...so sue me...

AND HERE IS THE PUNCHLINE [FADE IN MUSIC]
It would seem, by the way they go on, that some people are offended by the "B&S ute following", which, at least with me, is part of the attraction.

No it's none of that, that offends me. I think its more the homophobic & xenophobic blokey meatheaded culture that seems to inhabit that type of car.

Next time I go to Bathurst or Goulburn, which ever comes first I'll put up some stickers on utes like those saying: "Man love is great", "I'd rather a Cosmo over a VB", "My other car is a Hyundi Excel with a Cannon exhuast and blue steel wiper arms", "I lived Broke Back Mountain", "Allah the almighty blessed my machine", "Guns are for small dicked rapist secretly homosexual maniac men" and for the girls "Give me a man in a smart casual suit sporting a hair cut that would have taken 4 hours at his hair stylist over a sweaty meatheaded cow boy."
Amen brother, Amen.

I'm still laughing my *** off, I was in Goulburn the other day, "I lived Broke Back Mountain" - ha ha ha ha ha GOLD.

Just curious, what does B & S stand for?
Is it Bazza & Shazza?
Beer & Shacka's?
Anyone jump in, I just want to know?

I would have to say nothig annoys me, unless its done poorly...
Modifying is personalisation people should be able to do what ever they want with out dicks calling em *******, and "ricers" etc. I like most cars, from Ae86's to Z-nissans. The Import/sports/compact scene has some really individual cars with themes to them and reminds me allot of Old-school customising.


after reading this thread:
-people need to learn what "rice"* means
-people seem a bit up them selves
-alot of cars must be boring stockers
-People need to know that neons on cars arnt new trend, they have been around for 20'odd years, and can actually look terrific

/end rant.

Even though it's a rare occurance, I have heard some shocking sounding V8s.

Either they've been thrashed to the buggery, or it's a very crap exhaust.
