1990's Fox Body Mustang convertible in cherry red on my way home from work, not a common sighting.

Couple of days ago in Benalla.



and joining a Falcon duet.

[DFB FGXR6]

Not like there aren't a few on the roads, but Race Red Mustang's are my thing. This one had the factory black pack, a Mach-1 style wing and tinted tail lamps.

Hi, the windows snipping tool seems like it's not quite doing the job..



try using either of these fella:

LviewPro (https://www.lview.com/)

or

Irfanview (https://www.irfanview.com/)

If I need to do a how to on their use just let me know.

The main problem I have found when editing pics is the resample quality is garbage.. except for MS Paint. I don't know of the software your using, as I still use Win 8.1 64Bit, again, as the newer Windoze is rubbish IMO.

Lview is my go to. Yes it is / was for windows 95.. but like cars, the old things are just better. Simple and work well without the technical BS that goes along with the new things.

Hope this helps.


Cheers,

One Man

Been a while since spotting an RX5 apart from shows.

Always thought of them as a poor mans Ford Torino.

[OneMadMan]

Happy Tuesday.. well what's left of it anyway..

Spotted these today.. even got some work done to :

Unknown (to me anyway) I'm calling it a batmobile, left hand drive to:


Suzuki Vitara on 20's.. he he he:



I'm pretty sure this is a 1994 GSR 4WD Turb Lancer. I wanted to buy one when they were new, man a very GOOD thing indeed:



Hillman Hunter wagon in prison with a HT sedan:

Buick Riviera is the first one.
Don't think it's a Lancer GSR, wrong front bar plus black door handles suggest it's just a GL.

Well I got One right!!

Good job... bugga it wasn't a GSR. Those things are fully sick bro...

These were todays spot..
I did also see a mint Capri on the back of a tilt tray, no pic.. will check the dash cam footage and see if I can get a screen grab from the video..

Screen grab of a super nice Hot rod.. 34 chev coupe maybe?



Next was a mustang, fully noice mate:



Lastly, not really on topic as such, but have seen this a few times on my delivery travels.. and never had a chance to get a pic.
I know it's a Big Money Waster (BMW), don't know model etc..

BUT, I do LOVE the colour..

[OneMadMan]

As promised, the screen grab of the minter Capri on a tilt tray the other day. Screen grab from video, rubbish quality but youse get the idea:



and this gem on Friday:

The or 'A' Greens Tuff XE Falcon. Certainly looked the part, again, dash cam screen grab so it's enough to wet the appetite...

Yes, predating the current publicly accessible rego data. Their car, their choice - I sort of like the variety these “spots” add to suburbia.

Yes, there are. This ones been to Lakeside and a few other northern Brisbane shows.

Dam and blast! I was really hoping that I saw the real deal.. but in hindsight, why would a greens tuff falcon be at a Midas store in Port Adelaide?
It wouldn't.



Thanks for the decent high res pic.

I’d like to see them all driving in formation, it would be majestic.

Spotted a Toyota Century being given the beans this morning, Hastings Rd in the Hills District.

Yep, good call mate. Didn't think of that at the time, or even after for that matter.

Very nice GT351 in original pristine condition, right down to the seventies protector strip on the side.
