Yeah I know, but normally they do it with tear drop lights

Rupewrecht · 30-10-2006, 04:05 PM

True, true. The ones that insired me were just a cone-shaped one.

CityEnd · 30-10-2006, 04:17 PM

hm.. it reminds me of the r33 taillights when i first saw it

chicaboo · 30-10-2006, 04:34 PM

Too much happening at once if you ask me, or I will just tell you!

Agree with C'end about the taillights, very R33 looking. XR headlights with the chrome underneith? Hmmm, a bit busy...

But damn, that car's got GLYM!

ATOMIC · 30-10-2006, 06:17 PM

That cars got nothing on my shine

chicaboo · 30-10-2006, 07:49 PM

Man, that car is so glym'd I had trouble working out what the chrome on the front was at first! If you can do better you rule!

EddyEdwards · 30-10-2006, 10:58 PM

Yes, imagine if FPV actually produced something like that! I've heard lately that Ford are discontinuing its long wheel base cars, Fairlanes and LTDs as of 2008. Anyone else heard this? Why would they do that? Theres so many of them on the road! The Fairlanes are the only thing that competes with a Statesman when it comes down to it and yet Ford are willing to just let Holden have the market? It cant be true.

omgggg yuuum!

Aussie VIP!

"..at first"?? does that mean you've figured out what it's for? please do share as I have no idea that it's for.

chicaboo · 31-10-2006, 01:31 PM

Nah bro, read my sentence again, there was so much shine I couldn't tell it was even a chrome strip at first, I thought it was a light bar or something, and then realised it was chrome reflecting colours from the roof and beyond the car. Maybe I'm a little slow? Hiyuck!

I still think it's a mishmosh of ideas and has too much styling in the one place. Although I still think the EF Falcon GTs were the ugliest Ford ever made, so it's not right at the bottom...

Tom · 31-10-2006, 02:27 PM

lol he was taking teh piss dude

Hmm just took another look, looks like an xr8 with a custom front bar and a tail set up like the fairmont? lol.. man.. its a mad random mix.. but i think its yum!

chicaboo · 31-10-2006, 02:58 PM

Yeah I got the piss taking part, just didn't think he understood my perception of things, ie: I was speaking of it's form, not it's function.

Argh, brain sting.

bourbon · 31-10-2006, 03:25 PM

it certainly is a nice car!

CityEnd · 01-11-2006, 12:46 AM

hahah so confusing, I wasn't taking the piss, it was a serious question. I thought there was a function to that ugly chrome at the front, otherwise why else would they put it there.

after Gav said he figured it out then it got me thinking, maybe it's a front mounted cooling device intergrated into the front bar... etc... but alas Gav was reffering to form and I was thinking function

chicaboo · 01-11-2006, 09:04 AM

At a guess I'd say it's function is to easily get scratched so that every couple of years you have to replace it with another OEM part at $200+...

bourbon · 01-11-2006, 09:47 AM

hahaha ride on gavy! but yeah cause its like a VIP car they have to have useless things on it like that

pr1mo · 01-11-2006, 09:52 AM
