I'm loving watching a bathurst hill climb now, in reverse from forest elbow to the dipper onto skyline showing better how steep it is in real life.

Another rediculous price, and it's incomplete.
Just cashing in on the classic car boom. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/28466593...4AAOSwSktiFZLn

More money than sense I think is how they say it?
That is a disrespectable display of mechanical sympathy and public safety. Moron!

I first watched, and re-watched, these videos back in 2008 -
At the time, I was awaiting my brand new FG XR6, so I could relate to the whole "new car" build up and delivery. Watching this again tonight reminds me of the excitement, the obsession and the anticipation I had waiting for my car to be built and delivered.

A really good interview with Jim Farley. I enjoyed it.

I have been enjoying these videos from I Do Cars. This week's episode focuses on the truly horrible GM HF-V6, arguably one of the worst engines ever made.

Not sure why but I think this is cool, drop a newer LS in and skids galore.

Video footage from 1982 of a Wheels magazine road test - Camira vs Sigma.
What's interesting is seeing the faces behind the text, for those who read Wheels in the 1980's and 1990's. Noel Tuckey was Bill Tuckey's brother and the "Dirty Wheels" columnist. Also present here are Robbo, Phil Scott, Warwick Kent, and Evan Green. |

his video came up on my Youtube feed today, felt it was a great one to share..............
The brand-new looking AU II Forte towards the end really caught my eye, I wish they could have elaborated on that.
