It's a bit of an original. Gone but not forgotten.

I’m intrigued by how much closet fandom there is for Shagnas. It’s approaching Teutophilia, at least on here.

The 3.5 Mitsubishi had the refinement of the Toyota's 3.0, but the grunt of the 3.8 Holden and 4.0 Ford engines. First Aussie made car with a 5-speed auto, first Aussie car with a manual shift mode as well.

Oh, on the subject of Magnas, they have nearly been out of production longer than they were in production.

There's a Melbourne business that replaces the Magnas 3.5 with the 3.8. It's a nice little power and torque boost. Was always tempted with ours but couldn't justify it. After 243000kms the damn thing must have been the only magna not to use oil. Must have been the twice yearly changes.

Away from my usual commuter routes, and saw ...
... A very sweet looking yellow vl turbo, with at least 10 years on the driver, and... ... a yellow lamborghini, inconspicuously tooling through a school zone at 40km hr.

![]() 1 of 3 VRX's in Wasp Yellow manual with sunroof ![]() This was my Mum's car impossible to keep in your lane in the wet .... gentle right foot needed. Although the Bridgestone G-Grid II's were not a bad tyre at the time Good fun in the dry though. Was a nice car at the time compare to others on the road.
