Meh dirt field will usually cause little harm to anyone. I used to do the fishies on a dirt track down the coast in the TX5 until somehow i stuffed a CV boot. Was a lot of fun though.

Sorry what i meant to say is the only harm your doin on a dirt road provided there isnt anyone is to yourself and your car. Ive done it before but it cost me a bit of money so i dont do it anymore. If i had a real POS that barely worked im all for it hehehe.

You consider yourself a safe driver.
You consider a VRX a performance car.
I cant help but add my 2 cents on that. Before i got my AU i was tossing up between it and the VRX, and the TJ series (previous model) was actually pretty damn quick. Heres the timeslip from a stockie:

For a performance car based on todays standards that isn't quick at all! a TRUE performance car would be atleast doing a low 14 pass I would've thought. You seem to be suffering both magna and AU syndrome there axle :

But seeing as I am stuck in 1984 (or 1982?) because of Cleveland syndrome, the VRX is actually relatively quick :

Hahahaha. Now that I've got a larger engine (4.1 I6) I get plenty of time to view the 4 cylinder cars as they accelerate past me on the highway... Damn 3 speed auto and stock tall diff ratio! :

And at least an Escort is a RWD, and is actually a Ford, unlike a Telstar *cough* mazda *cough* :Reverend:

FPV Owners Syndrome
Psychological Requirements:
Rampant Narcissism

Symptoms:
Delusional Traits -
Unable to admit that a Tickford vehicle is in anyway superior to your FPV.
You label anyone with a different opinion as an Infidel.
You consider FPV vehicles to not be forms of transport. Rather they are religious shrines on wheels, piloted by God himself.
At night, you read passages to your children from the Holy GT-P Owners Manual.

Hallucinations -
You can't see any other cars on the road since buying the FPV.

Physical Traits -
You carry an FPV christening kit with you at all times. It consists of an FPV Hat, a bottle of holy water, sourced from the FPV Workshops Roof Downpipe, and a Leatherbound parchment logbook, containing all of your journeys in the car in Spidery yet Precise hand writing.

Treatment
An uninsured 14 year old in a rusted HQ Holden ploughing through the car at high speed is the preferred method of treatment.

Prognosis
Without treatment, like most religious zealots, they become martyrs to their cause.





Tickford Owners Syndrome
Psychological Requirements:
Persecution Complex

Symptoms:
Delusional Traits -
You are planning on having the car laminated to preserve it for your great great grandchildren, so they can see what a "Real Car" looked like before the Dark Times. Before the Empire! I mean... FPV!
You are certain if you whine enough to FPV owners they will eventually change their minds and trade in their GT's for T3's.
You treat every conversation as an opportunity to discuss the wonders of the Tickford and convert more members. Strangers shun you.

Hallucinations -
You sit cross legged in your driveway and converse with Henry Ford on the true nature of sports cars.

Physical Traits -
Even your toilet has a Tickford Badge adhered to the seat.

Treatment
One night your family gag and bind you, while they trade in the T3 for a sensible Kia Rio.

Prognosis
Without treatment the Tickford Owners eventually gather in secret groups and perform cult rituals.

Excellent stuff

Also need for a blast of the Cordia Turbo/TX5 Turbo/Pulsar Turbo wannabe's

And one for the Camry owners (mix of Magna owners and Volvo owners should do the trick).

Also need a variant for the ferals in their jacked-up short wheelbase 4WD landies that seem to think that having a COG 2m above the ground isn't a driving risk in city traffic
