Purple Haze: Aussie Ford Falcon XA Coupe's Colorful Burnout



The Summernats is an annual festival for gearheads that takes place in the Australian capital city of Canberra in January drawing some 1,500 heavily modded street machines along with more than 80,000 visitors from Australia and overseas.
