Ha Ha nothing has changed in 50 years.

And the mustang driver probably forgot to let the hand brake off.
The hand brakes on the mustang are on the passenger side of the console cause the yanks were too tight to shift them to Aus drivers side of the console, along with the bonnet catch ffs, which is on the passenger A pillar.

Oh krap, the engine is on fire.
Quick, I must jump out of the car and run around to the passenger side and pull the bonnet catch, better pull the hand brake on while I am there, lol.

The Ford Focus (from memory) you have to open the bonnet with the key, by flipping the front grill badge to the side...Clever engineering

In the warmed over Ve Ute they always want to “lite race”.

No one ever wants to race when I’m in the Audi S5 unfortunately.

I suppose so, except 50 years ago I was the 'traffic light d***h***', coz nuthin' was faster than my modded '57 Zephyr, complete with black wheels and black roof, ( just like the last of the Falcon Sprints,) …….. way ahead of its time.

The Mark 2 with the 272 or 292 V8 was faster.
I remember helping with the fitting of a couple of them.

you're driving too close to bogans, this happens to me anytime i drive into a bogan area. Whenever i am near home it does not. I just ignore them.

Yes when driving through less affluent areas where they are more poor people, individuals want to race you more often at the traffic lights.

Yeah they would wooped if they went against the Audi. I saw a vid of a race between a late Audi and a late Porsche and the Audi won hands down and I'm talking an annihilation....
