    I think you're reading in to it too far, it's a tiny little RX with a V8, which is a excellent IMO. Big motors in little things are good.

    I'd probably be fine with it if he hadn't said he did some of the things just to annoy other people, all for freedom of expression in mods etc.

    Though in saying that, is probably sounds less offensive than the bag of flatulent arsholes bouncing down stairs that is the rotary with tin can exhaust that most boyracers seem to like.
    Flatulent arseholes, love it!

    But I think his point is about celebrating the boganness of it (no offence to yourself) and if it does break down I don't think he'd really give a shit to much.

    Probably true, I do like big motors in little things. But there is one thing even better, huge motors make big things seem little!

    Maybe I'm just a classy bogan, but to me its the vehicle choice and application, old school lumbering tyre shredding V8 is a nice bogan ride, matte black for extra points. But the finish and detail work is still important, rat-bikes or rat-cars don't do it for me, especially when the motivation behind it is so... generation-me-ish.

    Why, yes, this is good and true.

    I've never seen you eat an aborted fetus, so you're a classy bogan
    But all this thinking will ruin the awesome-sauce-ness of the RX7 for me
    Give me stacked headlight Merc with a basic 350ci thanks no matte black, factory yellow, factory wheels... mmm classy

    Right, gotcha now. You would have probably liked a 1961 Ford Fairlane one of my workmates had a while back then.

    All grey with a 332 ci engine which he upgraded to a 429. Eventually, he stripped it all down and repainted it in the original two tone colour scheme but it looked very bogan in the grey. Fun times.

    That rx7 could have had so much potential..
    1. the guy looks like a fuckwit
    2. the only thing that belongs in a factory rotary car is a rotary.

    I'd debate that if I could be bothered but then, because I have enough knowledge on setting the damn things up and making moAr P0waaaah from them, I'd sound like some rota fag

    Because...... RACE CAR
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
