Cars you don't see many of anymore - Page 91

Was following this for a while today on the M2 freeway. I was in the partners Mitsi Mirage... and grandad was booting his 'stang' from 80 - 120 kays an hour to blow out the webbs.. didn't go that well. Wasn't 'spanking' me as I expected. Yes sure, it pulled away, but not as rapidly as I expected it would, being such a minter. 289 badge on the guard.

Pretty sure I got busted by a new mobile phone detection camera using my phone about 10 seconds after taking this pic .. BUGGA!

Sorry no pictures, but was in Corryong Vic yesterday and there was some English Ford meet up.
Various models of Zephyrs and a Zodiac.

This one comes under the category of Cars you don’t see many of ~~anymore~~. The tyres protruding a few inches beyond the guard look a bit dodgy.

Bugga indeed. Hope you’re wrong about the camera.

Yes me to.. Re: the mobile phone detection cam... bugga moment.

Today's spot: an original XB ute, 250 column auto in cream. Good nic to.
Next was Nana in her orange 4 door LJ torrie, original owner I suspect, judging by the condition.

And the winner goes to:

Very nice resto. Sounded tough as. Had the opportunity to get embarrassed at a red light, but decided against it. The TRD is 'quick' to me, but it's still just a taxi. lol. A nice taxi..

A good dash cam will take reasonable pictures and costs less than a phone fine.

I’ve seen three Munros in the last two weeks - a red HQ in the back of Marrickville, a red HT or HG on Victoria Rd Drummoyne, and a white HK (I think) on Beecroft Rd. That’s excluding the workshop’s space-waster.

Watched an episode of JAG tonight, part of the Show was in Sydney and a couple of mighty AUs were in a scene.

There was also a model T on the other side of the road where I took this pic. Didn't have time to grab a happy snap... as there were a few cars waiting behind me, and funny thing is, the nearest guy was waiving at me... sure wish he'd use all his fingers next time he waives at me...

Cheers,

Only positive about mobile phone detection cameras being i can tell my spawn to can their GenZ expectation of dad responding instantly to their endless messages. If you want a conversation, spoken english works well though your endless acronyms and sidesteps to memes will abandon you. I've never known such peace.

Volvo 440GLT in Hunter’s Hill this afternoon. Think it’s years since I last consciously observed one.

Commiserations on the fine FTE, I think next year the in-force average speed “safety” camera on Vic Pass will also nab a huge number of Bathurst-goers. It’s not the cash value of fines that irks me, but the $150 impost per green slip, times three or four years.

Today's effort, and trust me, it was an effort. Totally crapola day..

This doesn't fit the category / thread, but it's DEFINITELY worth a mention..

Audi RS6...

doing a delivery today and this guys rolls up behind me truck. Man, what a presence. Real low growly idle. Beautiful humm.

After the guy hopped out, (picture him) no suit and tie, just an average joe in jeans and a tee shirt, no thongs... but beach type shoes.

I started hassleing him on the front brakes.. I says, maaate, did you go for the poverty pack option? He says, yeah, it's got 10 piston calipers...
I said: mate, I thought I had the biggest willy (d i c k ) having 6 piston jobbies. He says: I got ten pistons cause I'm trying to compensate for my lack of size!

Real down to earth guy who obviously earnt his coin.. on the tools and enjoyed my haggling. As he was walking into the restaurant he said something, and I said, maaate, I can't affort (my guess ta mut) $180k.. he said me either, that's why I went for the pov pack at $300k.
I said, maaaate, I can't even afford to take a photo of ya brakes.. he laughs, he said: go for it..

Ok ok, the pics already...

Okay, drool mode off and back to reality..

Spotted this LC Torrie on an earlier delivery:

On my next delivery I spotted an absolutely brand spankers Troop carrier: Total resto I'm guessing. My pics don't do it justice. This thing was as new.

Next up was this XR5 Focus, Franco has mentioned these and I thought I'd post this pic to see if this was the 'good' model they made.

Like porky pig says...

epppa epppa that's all folks.
