Must take the prize for the ugliest car/name combination.

Speek for ya self, I reckon a cane toad is better looking, and that's sad coming from a New South welshman.

Talking of the P76, You could put a 44 gallon drum in the boot.  Lets not forget the Force 7, Hmmm

Ford Performance anything.  The words Ford and Performance are really just contradictory terms and don't belong together.

I recently bought the family pack turbo falcon, for a dunga Aussie car (and I've driven M5's, 911s etc) it is seriously impressive bang for buck, still a few setup glitches in the rear suspension/diff but impressive performance none the least @ 11 litres per hundred.

What about HSV = Holden Special Vehicle, WTF is special about it  ;D  ;D  ;D

Locals to add
Torana Plus 4 (should negative 4 it was so slow. What one would do is buy a crashed V8 torana (because there were lots of them got crashed) and swap the mechanicals into the plus 4 shell and have more fun)
Holden Sunbird (LX Torana 4 cyl with the RTS)
Gemini ZZZ (went to sleep)
Subaru Brat


Other oddities
Honda Fitta (translate fitta in Swedish - lady bits)
Ford Pinto (translate that into Brazilian -a man bit)
Buick La Crosse (ask a canadian what that means in slang terms - self abuse of a man bit)
Toyota Fiera (means ugly old woman to the Puerto Ricans)
Opel Ascona (Northern Spain  - more lady bits)
Nissan Moco (Spanish loose translation is "booger")

we could go on -- such fun

Had is conversation witha Spanish speaking workmate a while back,  (prior to me buying one, :D)

Pronouced   PAHERO does in fact mean tosser/wanker    Pronouced   PAJERO  is actually a bird.

also found this doing a Google search


This is what I found, if you use a capital it has no translation to wanker, but if you use lower case it does, also it's a cat not a bird ;D

Chinese girl draped over Pajero SUV For the curious, the Spanish word pajero means ‘wanker’, from paja meaning ‘wank’ (literally, ‘straw’), in the expression hacerse una paja, (literally ‘to do oneself a straw’).  These slang expressions come from the fact that both a straw and the penis are similar in being pipe-like.  It is the first meaning to come to mind to Spanish speakers in both Spain and the majority of Latin America.

Pajero has some non-rude agricultural meanings, referring to someone selling or transporting straw or (in the Canary Islands dialect) the barn where it is kept.  These are the original meanings of the word, but not common these days.  It is also an obscure nickname for people from Santo Domingo de la Calzada in La Rioja, presumably due to historical straw production in the village.

In the dialects of Nicaragua, Colombia and Guatemala, paja is used to mean ‘tap’ (i.e. the end of the ‘pipe’), and so, in Nicaragua at least, a pajero is a plumber, to the mirth of other Spanish-speakers.

Thumbnail of a Pampas cat snarling However, none of these rude or innocent meanings gave the vehicle its name.  There is a feline, scientifically classified as Oncifelis colocolo, which is known in Spanish as the gato pajero (‘grass cat’) or gato de las pampas (‘Pampas cat’).  It is similiar to the ocelot and hunts small animals in the reeds and grasslands of South America.

Actually thinking of Hondas. What about the Legend. I mean It's a big call here In Australia to call your self a legend. But some how I think if Honda had have called it "Total Legend" i would be OK.
