Ford Falcon does purple burnout

Aussie muscle carist creates enormous purple haze

Australians are good at being a bit mental; a theory artfully substantiated by Gary Myers at the Summernats muscle car festival in Canberra.

During the burnout battle at this year's four-day-long event, he fitted a set of purple tyres to his redonculously tuned 1972 Ford Falcon XA Coupe. Then sacrificed them to the god of awesome.

Now get some purple haze all in your eyes.

Why aren't all tyres coloured? Imagine having rainbow coloured tyres, and making a huge '11' with them. How cool would that be?
