Pic for illustrative purposes. Although the one I spotted today was white with a LED lightbar.
Most of the ones I have ever seen were blue.

If its the one I'm thinking of, that plate is pretty distinctive, its nice to finally see it on the road again after spending many years sitting in a carport close to my old house. He said he was going to get it going again...

Saw another clean Starion today, a white one.
Starting to think they don't belong in this thread. Also saw a bright orange XD and a tidy brown XE wagon. |

I remember that, Ford was going to do a millennium Falcon special edition too.
No points for guessing why it never happened.

Bit like a T series, really cool car but not a huge market outside Ford nuts. Poor EA will need a ford nutter to buy it.

A bit like beta vs VHS, I think.
Hard to make a revolutionary (boom, boom) change in a big industry. I remember a Lotus (maybe Esprit, or similar) with quad JJD’s on the back. These were a real precursor to run-flats!

vbvbvb088: I saw the 120Y in Brunswick St, Fitzroy North, so it is probably the one you saw (I didn't get the number plate).
Yesterday I saw a Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo, looking very nice in black and full reg, personalised plate. (Wasn't sure what the car was at first). I took a quick photo of the front and was going to have a better look when I walked back but it was gone. |
