Well i didnt know there was anything on in Tanunda yesterday but thats just me being out of touch these days, if there was. Missed quite a few cars inc a unbelievably immaculate Karmann Ghia. But couldn't help a few snaps.

I am pretty sure that the owner of that red wagon is the guy that bought my EB Fairmont in the early 2000's. (unless of course he has sold the wagon)

Spoke with the owner, he like me had also driven a more modern version, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, down the Big Sur,

I still like the gold one better, grey looks like aborted Opel

Just saw a yellow ex-taxi EF Falcon today. It's amazing that it's lasted for 20 years *beyond* it's life as a taxi!

Wasn't in Sunbury by any chance was it? I saw one in Sunbury a few weeks ago I got a photo of in this thread

Yesterday, no photo but high street Northcote, mint condition early 1970s F100, looked like it was restored.

Unfortunately LED light bar on the front of it in between two halogen spotlights sort of ruined the look of it.

Nope, not near Sunbury.

Green EB 5L Fairmont on historic rego and EB GT wheels, complete with old RACV ish badge in the grill.

Saw what seemed to be a very tidy bronze TD Gemini this morning towing a trailer nearly as big as itself.Didn’t have ph so no photo

No the trailer looked too good for that,more likely a rarely used caged rubbish trailer

This afternoon: white Falcon S, manual trans [I was on my bicycle so I stopped to look at the interior - the car was parked; although, were all Falcon S models manuals?]; green and white plates starting with an 'E'; clean, original condition. (My 1990 XF ute had green/white plates starting with an 'E'.) I wrote down the plate, then I realise that it's a personalised plate. I look it up on Vicroads rego check and see that its a '1989 white Ford sedan' with August 1989 compliance. It must be an EA. You might be able to work out what the number plate is.

It's currently registered until 6 Oct 2024; I guess the owner has the auto rego payment facility with Vicroads and must intend to drive it for another year at least.

I saw a ZF Fairline the other day in pretty 'decent' condition.

Sounded great too. V8.

And look at all that gorgeous chrome.

Love the ZF's, my first experience in a Ford V8 was drifting gravel as passenger in one of those

Saw a third generation Mondeo wagon in really nice nick down by the beach today, black colour. Realised I haven't seen one for ages.

Had an XB in about 1980 but would have really liked a ZG and probably either in that red or the white.

Saw what I'm pretty sure was a gb meteor today. Either that or a ga, but pretty sure it was a gb as my parents had one of them about the time I got my ps back around 1990. Was in white, the same as what my parents had, too. My parents had a ka laser at the same time, and that became my little run about. The gb was way more refined.

Both great little cars.

Couple of chrome bumpers today in Wang.

LHD Mustang, Canary yellow bog stock HX Kingswood.

Early 80s Alfasud on original plates, in a pale beige cream. Mature aged driver.

ford71V8 · 23-09-2023, 03:24 PM

A Datsun 1600 painted up in a race type livery in blue and white. Looked great. And a yellow wagon of same model earlier this week (seen this around a few times this year).
This morning I was behind a huuuge Dodge wagon, looked sick. Plates tell me its a 63. Could have been a great hearse, wouldve held 4 stiffs side by side in the thing. Was LH drive, the driver was lost inside there so had to look close haha.

**DJM83** · 23-09-2023, 03:33 PM

Guess its not something you see anymore as its new, but not something really see at all
