What the?!!.. or...HOW did he manage that?

There's a bloke who lives round the corner from me who loves his AU, it's a burgandy Tickford enhanced Fairmont. He's put a BA GT stripe down the side with TICKFORD in big bold font in the middle of it, as well as that there's some weird tribal tatoo like design on the middle front of the bonnet about 80cm across with a little Tickford wings and logo off to the right that just looks out of place, all in gold. Not my cup of tea at all but he likes it. Last week he turned up in a silver AUII XR6 with 140k on the clock, that looks pretty shmick except that all the badges were gone. He told me it'd been sitting around in this blokes car port for a couple of years and the bloke wanted it gone but couldn't seem to find a buyer as he was in a rather remote spot. My neighbour said he'd buy it on the proviso that the guy had LPG fitted to it, which the guy promptly did. And this is the bit that floors me, HE ONLY PAID $2500 for it!!, and that was after the gas was fitted. That means the seller basically gave the car away for nothing more than the $1000 rebate on the LPG system.


Today I saw the car again and it's now sporting what looks like laser cut renditions of XR6 badges in mirrored perspex plus the same gold BA GT stripes along the bottom of the car with the Tickford font AND the tribal design on the bonnet AND the out of place Tickford wings logo. He likes what he likes and there's certainly no mistaking his cars but it's like....... followed by followed by
