Here's a couple I noticed today.. and had the opportunity to snap...

HR X2 Column Auto:



VIP Val (note - the HR and Val were parked together Double win!)



Pymouth GTX drove in the driveway I was exiting, and had to wait for me to leave... after I asked if I could grab a snap, thumbs up was given... the lumpy idle was very NOICE, nice and choppy.



That's about it folks..

Last few days - Bay window Kombi in white over pastel blue, deep imprint on the sliding door which looked like it was made by a bicycle T-boning it (almost Wile E Coyote level of comic detail). Unmodified (externally) Karmann Ghia in pastel green driving in the rain, VERY tidy black HZ V8 tonner on LPG with canvas cover over ladder racks and the late HZ/WB type steel rims with centre caps.

Perfect full reg S type Val in Gold yesterday, along with that Candy red custom Loveshack Beddy CF I keep missing with the camera.

Surprised to see lots of E, B and AU Falcons still getting around on the N$W Central Coast. Particularly B series wagons usually with boards in the back.

Yep they are a good reliable beast of burden the BA/BF wags.

See quite a few VY wagons down here still for same reason.

Most common are heaps of new VW Transporter vans though, as covid rained money on coastal areas and everyone took up surfing. Have seen a couple of the 'California' ones, and those are big bickies.

Saw my first new model Jeep Grand Cherokee yesterday. Quite liked it in the metal.

They are selling far fewer now as no diesel, no tow rating, and no V8. And they hiked the price on launch.

Also, our area seems to have lost it's Jeep dealership, so not many being sold new here at all!

FCA/Stellantis/"Whatever they are calling themselves this week" screwed over their dealer network by dictating how much floor stock they would take. The end result being sales that outpaced the servicing, parts and warranty repair side of the business, which ultimately flowed on to the end user. From memory, Jeep dealers were suing FAC/Stellantis over this.

I did my learning and drivers test in one of those Toyotas... does anyone take the test in a manual anymore, most were manuals back then so that was typical.
