All we need is a montage of 1980s wall street people wearing aviators, answering the phone with some retrosynth music to the background for our Corona ad. |

Was the front wheel drive Coronas available in the Aus market? Always thought the last two generations were a decent looking car for their day, drove pretty good as well (apparently). Nearly non existent now. |

My new car, well it's 10 years old, and it sends the chicks wild.
Luckily it has central locking. |

You could put that in the back of the ute.
Maybe add a set of blades underneath for the weekend lawn-mowing |

I remember drag racing one in my EL XR8 many years ago and we were dead even.

As far as Abarth goes, I don't like convertibles but I'd be keen on the Abarth 124, it's a less gay version of the Mazda MX5, It's built by Mazda but powered by Fiat, so it's got forced induction rather than naturally aspirated 4 cylinder boat anchor like the MX5. Naturally aspirated 4 and 6 cylinder engines in this day and age should be a human rights violation. |

Spotted a very early BA FPV GT-P in Blue Pearl this morning. Looked and sounded so good.
Then a Envy Green BA GT was sitting at the at the lights in the opposite direction.

Done another cross country, and basically Aussie cars are what you don't see many of anymore across the Nullarbor.
Props to the mad lad going over in AUII Champagne gold forte. Once in SA, however... it was thick with VYs more than any other older car. This time counted more VYs > VEs > VF's s VF's seemed thin on the road, at 10 years old. Not too many BA/BF, and a reasonable amount of FG1s once you get to the south east of the country. A couple of Territory SZs going over, and more Territories once out in the wheatbelts than Falcons. All LandCruisers once bush really. Instead of the old Aussie cars on the big runs now, and I saw quite a few Subys, and Mazda/Hyundai/Kia SUVs going over. But mostly it's Toyota.
