You won't catch me friggin' in the riggin' I think that was meant to represent a tent or annex not a sail LOL I would put money on that it was a 351 V8.

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted January 14, 2019 Moderator Report Posted January 14, 2019 Its unfair to shame the Americans all the time when the locals are just as bad. I have often warned you guys of the extreme V8 element here. Here is some Australian Pride. The Mexico stripes are a nice touch. I wonder what he thinks the connection is between his green monstrosity and a UK Mexico?

That Mk2 rear light treatment is truly awful however.If you're talking Aussie V8 OSFs though, how about this one, aptly called Overkill?

I suspected you would chime in and like that MK1 being the hotrod devotee that you are ?. Only that it uses a 253 GM Holden V8, one of he most pointless V8 engines ever created you may not like it as much. What's with the weird vents? Yes that certainly is overkill.

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted January 14, 2019 Moderator Report Posted January 14, 2019 OMG! There is no escape on the planet! But at least your Streeters and V8 fraternity dont dominate all aspects of motoring enthusiasts and motorsport there in the UK. There is respect there from the modders to the concoursers. Here if it doesnt have a V8 your viewed as some kind of girly wannabee.
