The car with the trailer MIGHT be a ford. On the open road it had some very good acceleration even with the dyno on the back. I dont know weather it is the zebra paint job but it sure wasn't nice to look at. It looks really bulky and out of proportion. I hope it is a hyundai or something.

Even Volvo

Good effort mate.

**GasoLane** · 24-02-2007, 03:55 PM

I cant imagine either Ford or Jag testing a car with LHD, but Asian cars, yep.

What breed is the LHD ute in the pic?

So far I think the BMW is in the lead with the grille pic.

It looks Korean to me. The guards don't look pumped enough for a BMW for my liking. And the glass area / doors look typically "Korean uninspiring".

Plus OutbackJack says there's Asian writing on it.

Ah, I forgot that.

Maybe Der Liddle Elves int Der Black Forest are aiming at the Asian market?

I see Merc in the grill, but what is the truck to the right as it has the same LHD sticker on it. If we guess the truck that could solve teh car puzzle

Outbackjack · 24-02-2007, 05:09 PM

I went back to the hotel where these cars were parked to get some close up pictures of the writing. But they are gone. But, I did stumble on the zebra car when getting gas. Thank god it is not a ford. There were 3 asian guys in it. Although it is right hand drive.

Wow mate, you're doing a great job !

Jeepers that's 'Fugly'.

Now what on earth is it ? In looks ugly enough (check out those head-lights & grille) to be a ssangyong........

Puh-leese... Seppo's call them 'trucks' out here they're "UTE'S" !!

shadows · 24-02-2007, 05:20 PM

well my brother is convinced it's a chrysler.Mind you he could be wrong as he is 15!!

Outbackjack · 24-02-2007, 05:26 PM

Maybe a photoshop guru could do a number on it and show the true lines of the car. I still reckon that it is ugly though.

scoob010 · 24-02-2007, 05:27 PM

Have a go at how small the window in the front door is!
Is that perspective making it look like that?
Just doesn't seem right.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 24-02-2007, 05:28 PM

that would be my guess for the car in the jacket material too - chrysler.. looks very 300c.

samsy351 · 24-02-2007, 05:29 PM

Hmm the bottom front spoiler part looks Toyota-ish to me.

Lukeyson · 24-02-2007, 05:30 PM

nice recon work there Outbackjack

You are rite. The side windows are very small. It's not an illusion.

Outbackjack · 24-02-2007, 05:33 PM

The thing did have some grunt. On the hwy it pulled up to 130 very effortlessly, even with the dyno spinning away. MAYBE a V8 but impossible to tell without lifting the bonnet. Couldn't see any exhaust outlet.

RIPGMH · 24-02-2007, 05:34 PM

The LHD ute in the other lot of pictures looks like a ssangyong as well

There were 4 of those utes there. No badges and no attemp to disguise them either.

jones_aus · 24-02-2007, 05:37 PM

we should start a prototype thread, ie "show us your prototype" :P

NudgE^SIKBRO · 24-02-2007, 05:37 PM

any one know any one at vic roads... easy way to find out what it is... hand over the rego number

RIPGMH · 24-02-2007, 05:37 PM

Did you get a chance to suss out the nationality of the drivers?

Only the zebra car, they were chinese, japanese, korean, something along those lines. They all look the same to me.

Its got a 3 bar grill (kinda) and XR6ish lights with the Mondeo ish uplift in the lights (shades of Iosis), yeah a stretch I know, but god I hope not. If thats a Falcon then the disguise better be full of padding and false bits cause it damn ugly.

The other pic is the new large Hyundai.

Don't go there..........

If that's a Falcon I'm going out to buy a 700ml bottle of Jim Beam !
