Cool Imported special rice

I think we are all doomed found this lot sitting on the wharf fresh of the boat, just waiting for the shopping list to be fitted : there was a total of 14 sky lines 6 supra and a heap of unknown pity it was dark and wet the row of wings and fins didn"t come out that good of the phone camera .. mite have to return tonight with a real camera. with my luck will probably end up arressted for taking pictures with a veiw for terrorism : not sure if I had been awake to long or it was fatigue some of them started to good to me I actually like the wagon ..( runs off to hide and get some more sleep)

Any chance of seeing some brown rice on here. In my terms that means "RUST". All this chrome and plastic is making me quezzy.

ok so I have finally stopped laughing at this, and can post the pics up....

I was sitting in the truck in the worst traffic for most of my day today ( *!*!#%^)$^& ) and i had this fella pull up beside me with his shitty stereo pumping out some awful Allah music ( i was in Broadmeadows ) and something caught my eye as i looked over to see what all the commotion was all about.

I found this, & I nearly fell out of my truck in laughter.
It is a ROOF RACK fashioned into a device to provide downforce to the rear of the car.
I was trying to see if he had the other roof rack fitted to the front of the car as a splitter, but he was just too "quick" for me and i couldn't get around to take snaps.
At the same time, i had some P plater beside me with his BF falcon Bionic blue colored Daewoo lanos, stereo pumping, making my ears bleed, with a wide bodykit ( like the Taurus one above ) stick on bonnet scoop (could see bonnet beneath it), chrome wheels, bright blue parker lights, cannon exhaust and the eye sore of eye sore's he would call a " hair style", I didn't know which car deserved my last few photos on my phone The choice was easy now that i think about it, and i am glad I made the right one!

sorry about the rain droplets, at least you get the idea.

Cool

Well was out and about again tonight I"m not sure if I need to give up this night shift stuff or not. Had a bit of time to wander round the wharf, now the question is apart from the obvious crapboxes in this thread is ware is the line between OH MY GOD and MMM thats not to bad I found this one in the pile and I think its not to bad (apart form the cannon zorst) well maybe 2 questions would you put it up your drive? and be seen driving it ? at the moment with no sleep I would : but I reserve the right to change me mind after I get some sleep :Reverend:

The kit on the 34 just ruined the car! Is that the aftermarket or factory kit? I've seen a few like that (they're horrible) around the Caulfield and Carnegie area.

are they the fast skylines, if so, i would have one, paint it a more sublte color, return it to factory spec on the outside, and go to town with the internals. The big kit looks crap, and I couldn't get it into my driveway without excavating half of it with the front bar.

just one of those characters ?? little be known to me, the next day he did a runner along with 10g from the business, last i heard they were lookin for him??
with the wheels, he was quoted 6 or 8g to have them made up in correct offset, as nothing could be done suspension wise..
believe it measured 2.4m wide too ?

hahahaha, you cant be for real!?
i dont know if this belongs in here, to me it sits on the fence of muscle car rice, and plain 'ol' rice. But the poxy wheels, the fluro orange stripes and letter box on the bonnet really let this potentially awesome coupe down, BIG TIME.
