Anyone ever seen an FSM/Fiat Niki before? Apparently was Australia's cheapest car in 1989:

“Mr Roderick”, a local school librarian in the genteel old-school mould of confirmed bachelors, had one new.

There is someone who works up at the local bakery, who drives a “done up” Nissan Prairie. It’s as funny as!

A few weeks ago I saw an Isuzu Bellet (correct spelling?) on club plates. On Friday I saw a very nice 1934 Ford V8 roadster street rod. It was the perfect day for a roadster and he had the top down. I'm not old enough to have ever seen many 1934 fords anyway ...

Gold coloured Mazda 929 sedan, must have been early to mid 1980s, all straight lines and looking very much like three boxes.

Last night i ordered food, the delivery driver, it sounded like he was on a cbr600 or the like. Nah, it was a jap import kei car. A daihatsu 3 cylinder something. Lowered, exhaust, gold 12 inch rims way too wide for the comically small car and rediculously stretched ultra skinny tyres. I guess to some people its a thing¿ maybe things are a bit different these days then when i was a p plater. |

They’re likely all on club reg, or about to be. I, for one, don’t miss the EA-EB range.
When did anyone last see a Renault 16? |
