Now the proud owner of the Down-Under El-Camino, Stuart Appleby from New South Wales, Australia announced that the BMW M5 Ute project has finally been completed...

Hmmm, with all that work, too bad he didnt make it a 2door convertible. The Ute looks a bit down market from the back

Its only going to be fast in a straight line and slower than the sedan it once was on the track.

So is that white trash meets luxury? I guess this could sell among pro-wrestlers or successful strippers...

What do you expect from Styles 79? He is truly just a wanker. We need less people like him on Autospies.

Awww, come on guys, just a bit of sibling rivalry! Fair enough, that was a bit rough! Hell, at least Australia has their own car industry, better than I can say for home!
Still I just don't see the point in doing that to a perfectly good BMW when I'm sure you could get an HSV or FPV ute and mod the hell out of it for the money that dude spent. Kinda reminds me of the guys that put R32 GT-R running gear into a VL Commodore......
I won't take back the beer comment though :D

horrible comeback, not even remotely funny or original. Honestly, stop posting.

Tired of using "your Mom's basement" as a comeback? And you forgot to say "tool" 3 times, Star.

Horrible comeback for you personally, but I'm sure everyone else on here got a kick out of it at your expense.

Speaking of a horrible comeback, I thought only pre-schooler's reverted back to using another persons mother when they were in the process of getting slayed by the guy with the upper hand.

But, I guess for a person who lives for dungeons and dragons that would be a fair response.
