Default Showcar Fan Anyone?

If anyone is really into showcars in Australia, you may remember 'GEMBEL' an orange Honda Civic. It has been in numerous car magazines and shows and has ricey written all over it. I am really proud to say that my friend bought it yesterday and sold his car too (he had 'HOTLNE', a green skyline)...we went to chapel street last night and already he is a defective vehicle (please keep in mind that he is on his p's and doesn't know any better to avoid places like that). I cant wait till this years autosalon, its going to be great.

BTW, if it doesn't ring a bell its on this page with the garasi plate...

Nope, it would still have a stupid looking wing and ugly ass front skirt....but that's just my opinion.

A lot of work has gone into the interior from the looks of things, but I don't go for the "one colour everywhere" sort of look.

the front skirt is one of the reasons he bought it for. it's a customized kit that no one else has. I still don't reckon it's an everyday car and he shouldnt drive it everyday but that's all he has now. I would use it for strictly showroom only.

Excuse my immaturity but .......uh der! What did he expect?! I really dont think that a p plater should be driving something like a skyline anyway so this all show and no go might be a better option since it'll only hurt people's eyes.

I dont mind the actual colour itself but Im with matt on the colour scheme, he should have made it brown inside and he could have done smarties promos

As for the wing, not to my taste but for a show car I'd say it was warranted. What motor does it have?






Oh and what's with the number plates
