Default For all the BA Purists out there.....

Now dont get me wrong, Im all for expressing yourself and creativity, but after seeing this car today, I am rethinking my stance on stripes being available on BA's......




I you not, that is REAL Electrical Tape. Thick Black Strips with red in the middle. You'll also notice that the door handles have been done black with permanent marker - the owner has done such a good job that you can actually see the strokes from the pen. The 'Falcon' badge on the boot is also painted red.
Ricer style fuel filler door cover adds instant street cred, and while I couldnt get a shot of it, the interior is a joy to see - Fast and the Furious Seat Covers, and my personal favorite - a red fur steering wheel cover.

Im not making this up either, my gf and I saw it and were almost in tears. Im going to try and convince the owner to display it at the All Ford Day :ymca: :.

The owner of that should have been drowned at birth.

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to own Fords.

Reminds me of my car when I first got it, sadly it also had REAL electrical tape running down both sides. It's gone now, thankfully.

But that just looks so, err, wrong. And what on earth posessed him to do that to the door handles?!? :

Is the red also just 'normal' electrical tape, or is it that reflective stuff, because that's what I first thought when I saw it?
Now that WOULD be cool...
