Hey guys, I picked up my hire car a week ago in Australia and I'm fucking loving it  
It's a ford.
Rear Wheel Drive...
4.1 Litre!!
Straight 6 engine!!!
it's model name is 'falcon' 
It's an absolute piece of shit. 
Oh yeh, did I mention it's the size of a large yacht, handles like a boat, is automatic and does fucking shite MPG.
I've given it a name... the name is...
Road Slug
Pictures below
the worst bit is... 4.1 litre. Crap MPG.... and it's slower than a fucking 1.2 8v corsa
Question is... could I lap the ring in under 10 mins in it?

Looks like a piece of shit. Funny how it's slow. Waste of fucking fuel.

A the good old falcons, millions of them, get a matress in the back.
Is that Travellers Autobarn by any chance?

aye... travellers Autobahn.
I turned up and said...
'Hey, I think i made a mistake renting this car. It's too big for what I need. can I voluntarily down grade to say... a Toyota Corolla?'...
... 'well technically you can, but since we don't have any in stock at the moment, you can't. Here's the keys to the slug'.
It handles like a barge. Although I tried donutting it the other day Automatic is a pain in the arse for doing donuts.
I also keep whacking it into park as I'm moving, the car doesn't seem to like that much! (lots of crunching gear noises).

Might be slow, but I bet it could pull a house up a hill
