Thanks Doc.
I thought it was a bit odd that it had a Dodge badge. The 1st Val ute I remember having that badge was the later square shape utes. Not being a Val man, I don't know the model I'm talking about. You, no doubt, do know the one I mean.

Cheers.

Just wondering if it was a faulty turbo seal causing the smoke?
I have never seen a Barra blowing smoke... that's not to say that it happens, just that I've never seen a N/a smokey Barra.

Not so much uncommon, as uncommon condition - an E90 that looked showroom-fresh. Not tidied up, not dripping in “product” but as if just a few days old.

Sitting down outside Lindfield station on Saturday morn (election day) saw a whole swagger of uncommon BM's, Jags, Mercs, Ferrari's, Bentley's and Rollers.

It was like the who's who of classics on show.

Even spotted my first Rolls SUV, (jury is still out)

The paint on this XR8 "daily" was pealing badly on the bonnet and roof. Hard to tell from the way I got the pic.

BA Fairlane G8. BA? BF? Don't know, haven't seen many of them tho.

And who can forget the TE Corty wagon... yep, big block 4.1 4 speed... tacho dash and all. Can't say I'm a fan of the stance, but hey, whatever floats his boat...

Cheers,

It's kinda bugging me lol, that TE just needs the FORD mudflaps,
