I found this for the new van thread but cant help but feel it really belongs here. Is this meant to be a Red Baron homage?

I like to think our custom trends have moved on from the experimentation/bravery of the 70s/80s though. Lol

I liked to think that of ours too till I joined this forum and noticed this recent movement of copying the Americans and their silly huge wheels of late and then finding that red thing all hope and national pride was lost.

That really is something else! I have never seen anything like it before anywhere. I wouldn't have even guessed it was an Australian car only for the Falcon Van in the background. What about the door handles? 🤮

It should be clear bad taste cannot be nationalised (although the Americans do seem to make it an art-form) I have heard of Doctors without Boarders, there should be a car group called Bad Taste without Boarders.

The mail order door mirrors gave it away as an Aussie custom to me. (That combined with the shit wheels 😁)

Your so mean!!! 😙 Talk about guilt by association! LOL The mirrors on that arent any less generic than on to the pink Estate above. You can buy them both at Demon Tweeks. The American styled wheels arent much different to those on the Mk1 4door RS2000 also above. Without the automotive wood skills and given the car type that grill could only have come from one place! If im not mistaken those door handles are Mazda MX-5. So we have German theme, American wheels, UK grill, Japanese door handles and (ok I can see it has similarities to side Mirrors used on our 1971 Mk1 Escorts) so Australia could possibly take the blame for that but really this is a global bad taste car that cant be pinned on any one nation! Its Multi-culturally awful! I blame globalism and social media.

To be fair the Australian Van mod scene isn't the prettiest and is very American fantasy graphic orientated so this you would typify as an Australian Mod Escort Van

But before you take aim,  it does have an air of colour and graphics from somewhere closer to home wouldn't you say? LOL!!

Ah, playing the Venom Top Trump Card eh? Venom was a product of the 70's, and I thought it looked crap then, as now.😁

Yes the modern glittery purple mod Capris complete with skeleton passengers show alot of progress with the British scene in comparison from the old Venon days 😛

I would be upset if I was gifted that Capri it belongs in a circus, but, his car his rules.

To quote Dolly Parton, "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap"

 

Ahhhh I get it now, so Its outdated shite when Australians do it and retro individualism when the British do it? LOL. Interesting if not slightly slanted rules this whole mod scene is im just figuring out!  😛 What is it when the Americans do it? Hahahaha

I know, how did that even happen, you cant buy those wheels in shops here? I didnt even know what a Donk was until you taught me what one was! Im really out of touch with this whole scene. Im still upset F1 is moving away from 13in wheels. It has to be a flow on association with the big V8 culture. With the big blocks come big wheels!

You do realise I am going to have to wipe my screen with disinfectant after that abomination has just graced it. Those Wheels! My Eyes!

Go and sit on the naughty step and have a good long think about your behaviour young man. Truly shocking behaviour.:eeek:

I have had that set of photos to pop on this thread for a while now but was too scared to post because I would start a new round of Australian crappy wheel jokes!
