funny being a member of V8 forums and also 4cylTurbo forums - U get to see both sides. im lucky enough to enjoy turbos and v8s, owning one of each.
So stupid to see people argue how much better V8's are than 4cyl turbos - horses for courses. my baxr8 nails my evo in a straight line, but my evo nails the xr8 everywhere else. Theres exceptions to every rule - like when Jeff Watson dusted Victor Brays dragster with an FJ20ET infront of 50,000 people at calder park in the mid 90's (twice). Im afraid that had the V8 boys mouths shut for a very long time. Seems to me, everytime turbo cars beat V8's they get banned - or thrown into their own class. its happened in motorsport throughout the world. ill keep my baxr8ute for the highway and carting ИИИИ to the tip - occasionaly some broad side action and a burnout...but i use the evo to get my rocks off ;) |

I'll second VTs with monaro lights and standard boot garnish.
I'll nominate Hyundai Excels/Accents and any other vehicle where the driver feels compelled to switch on their fog lights just to prove they have 'em. Oh, and Vivas with lions instead of griffins! :

the cars im sick of seeing are commdores with bodgy HSV lookalike kits on them, especially those VY hsv kits on fugly VNs, also sick of hearing fart cannons on lancers too. basically im sick of seeing most commodores with young drivers, because most of them simply drive very dangeous, even in car parks |

Id like to add the new minis to my list. The old 70's models were minis, they were small. The new 'minis' are as wide as my XF, if not wider. They deserve the name sh-it beetle or something, they arnt minis.

Honda VTech Civics and Accords that have exhausts so big, you could smuggle a small mexican in them. Ontop of that, dont the owners realise N/A engines lose power when they put massive exhausts on them? : On top of that, they sound horrible droning arround town...no wipe that, they sound terrible full stop. I saw an older model accord today in the City with a big body kit, massive spoiler, 17' wheels and Two big cannons in the centre of the back skirt...rediculous

EA-ED ИИИИboxes, they are everywhere, 1980's mag wheels, dents and faded paint.. FFS they give Ford fans a bad name... If you can't afford to fix a cheap up a ar$e E'series so it atleast looks tidy ... catch the bus :P

I hate seeing Territorys, millions of the bloody things. When I brought mine there were not so many and people used to come up and ask about it. Now all I get is "Oh God not another bloody Territory!" LOL

Daewoo's annoy me. Also anything that hasnt been looked after, like oxidised bonnets on newer vehicles. That ИИИИes me off. And the 'p!ss on FORD or HOLDEN' sticker. Absolutely stupid imo. I think its gay-er than Molly Meldrum & Julian Clarey put together! Very homosexual! :ymca:

whats not to like about minitrucks?? im also into trucks as they are a cheaper alternative to hotrodding.. here is a pic of a fullsize, but generally minitrucks follow the same similar styling and mods as this truck.. airbag suspension,suicide doors, body drops roof chops thats what real minitrucking is about! u should see the amount of work that goes into alot of the minitrucks that get around.. puttting on a set of wheels and a monster tacho is NOT minitrucking... ill try find a pic of a modified chassis on one of these "lowluxes"
cheers guys |

Its a shame because there are a few nice EAs-EDs around where I live but ive noticed a increase in sh*tboxes around. Its usually some bogan P Plater trying to act hard and boot it around the corner, worse thing is the all sound f***ing sh*t like alot of the Commie V6s, which is also a shame because on a average the EAs-EDs sound so tough with a good exhaust. |

I'll tell you what I'm sick of seeing- people doing burnouts in any car. Nearly every car can do a burnout what's the big ИИИИИИИИИ deal about it that every moron has to do one. It screws the car up and annoys everyone else!
