I'm not sure that it is indeed rice. If you use it (whilst driving) it gives you the illusion that you are traveling faster, you're a better driver and that you're invincible. So it is a functioning "performance" item, even if it is psudoperformance.

But if you add it to the rest of the items on the car ie. big body kit, doors, altezza's etc etc... it sort of gets brought down to rice... and makes me want a beer.

Yes it is a shame re:

His choice of car
His choice of mods
His choice of beer
His "tapping" technique (or lack there of).

However, having a tap in the back of his car, completly obliterates any of the problems above.

Top Idea!
I once saw a tap on a rollbar. Had to ask. He had manufactured a tank in the 4" Rollbar. He fills it with rum, and away he goes!

Got Head? I'd be asking for my money back if I got a beer like that. Budweiser = flush twice, it's a long way to the brewery!

Another awesome mod I've seen is an old poo-brown Valiant wagon with the tailgate converted into a BBQ ;)

Convert an old Holden one tonner trayback (polished Jarrah timber of course) into a complete bar ;) With a choice of beers, as well as Bundy Draught...

Or a panel van complete with barmaid! :

Imagine a pretty blonde owning this car and she asks you out for a pinic at Bathurst, when you get there she seductivley pours you a beer, I reckon it would be the ultimate pickup.

You could also fit a drop tank in it - for storing the beer! 100+ litres should keep you and your mates supplied for a few hours. Just gotta keep it cold

Hmmm, nothing like the smell of stale beer on a hot summers day. Not! Think I'll stick with the slab on the back seat.

I knew you loved Honda Civics, Walkinshaw.

Budweiser = crap.

And like has been said, the guy can't pour a beer to save himself!!!!

Look up Budweirser Budvar, it's a bloody nice beer!
