	My cousin spotted this today outside our house - I had to get some photos! There is a Ford Falcon ute in there somewhere...

	WHY!?! Sure it's a ute and not a 4 door with the back doors welded up (just asking because of how wobbly the sides are)

	A little bit more thought has gone into that one i'll admit. But you would find it tricky to sleep in... And the front on that car looks like its owner is preparing for the big snow.

	Of all the great cars that are built in New Zealand, why post this one? Maybe Barry Boys would be interested in it?? I'd rather see something that inspires rather than something to sneer at. Sammm (as ever) has the right idea and brings exactly what this forum is about to the thread.

I couldn't agree more! ;D And I think that it does have a place on RR. Its not a barry boy car mr hotwire..not even close. Its not trying to be anything but a home made camper. Its based on a 1969 ford and has had a heck of a lot more work put into then half the cars on this forum. It might not look the best but its certainly an interesting car and that's what I like to see on forums like this. Not just old cars that have had a roof rack fitted and lowered! I'm a kiwi and I'm proud that I live in a country where crazy cars like this rock about on the road!

	Man- I've never seen so many nice Vivas in one place in NZ. Sweet- is that an old bike on a tow mounted rack? That's cool. Tow bars rock!... Oh how a thread can digress...
