I didn't want to point out the Autumn leaves on the trees either at this time of year.


SD1 Well known car the Rozzers used, to pursue villains in their hot motors back in Blighty.

Separately saw two fairlane ghias this morning! White and silver.

[kcodezd]

Spotto’d this the other day near work.

[Franco Cozzo]

When was the last time you saw a VS Commodore ute ambulance?



I guess today for you all - saw this majestic beast in Brunswick today.

Also obligatory flog Ranger driver up my *** as bonus

[roKWiz]

Out in the van, passing a 77' HX LE in perfect condition on Winton straight, we both gave each other the thumbs up and nod of appreciation.

[anobserver]

A two door purple Gemini, tootling down to the shops.

A parked 4-door Leone, in that dark beige Subaru colour.

[Syndrome]

This afternoon I saw a C110 Datsun Skyline coupe

[Rallye Sport]

Just spent a week in the Great Southern, surprised to see so many H series vans and utes on the road. All honest originals in solid condition and used daily by the looks of it.

Mentioning that, an original light yellow V8 pano regularly driven around the West Footscray area.

Inner city suburbs seem to be a hotbed of original 70's & 80's vehicles. Sometimes even the rarer 2 wheeled varieties make make an appearance.

I'll just leave this here....

[Syndrome]

Coming home this evening I saw a XP station wagon with historic plates. Stock condition and unrestored.

[DFB FGXR6]

Spotted a gold XY Falcon GT, closely followed by a petite XL Falcon sedan. One a muscular brute, the other a delicate beauty.

[ToryMikey]

P5 LTD. Way in the distance. Complete with original hubcaps. Spewing I didn't get a pic.

Was at United in Taylors Lakes, near Watergardens.

[chinamonty]

i saw a Nissan 280ZX on full rego in Dandenong this morning. he truend off before i could get a photo. It was in pristine condition judging by its looks.

[.:4:.]

Saw an ea gl sedan today. Lowered on 15 inch snowflakes and in original condition, so a little beat up but not bad for its age.

yep f100.
One of my good mates ol man had one, on one of those great late 70's world of the free nights my mate threw me the keys to be the driver strangley.
Christ giving a 18yr ol young hoon was testing the mateship.
I gave it a right royal flogging - that 6cyc went damn hard I was impressed, was a good looking Datto back then.

Other day riding to work, i see in the distance what looked to be an ED XR6. Got closer, was a plain jane model with a bona fide XR front.

I plan to get either an eb2 sxr6 or ed xr6 by the end of 2025. When I was 18-21 I owned a beautiful stark white 93 eb2 sxr6 but foolishly totaled it while drunk after breaking up with a girl.

I paid ~$2k for that car - which had Pacemakers, high flow cat and 2.5" exhaust with magnaflow mufflers, lowered, professionally installed sound system, full momo interior, had less than 50,000kms on the rebuilt engine and the paint etc was flawless.

Oh, the folly of that day. Let's be real, the car was nice but I'm just glad I didn't kill somebody else in my stupidity.

I expect to pay 10x what I paid for that car but it'll be worth it. I actually prefer the eb/eb2 sxr6 because (call me crazy) but I'm not a massive fan of the twin lights on that bodyshape - they look amazing on the EF/EL/AU though.

Ah the old e series. I change my mind more than my underpants but the old e series XR6 would make a cheapesh fun track car and sound better than a barra doing it.

I wish I never sold my old 105 Alfa GTV2000...in hindsight I let it go for nothing..$8k FFS, it needed work but wasnt that bad, id kill for that car now with what I want to do with circuit racing.

The early e series cars make great track cars. They're so much lighter than AUs, let alone the even heavier BAs etc. They handle well too when set up appropriately - I actually like the live rear axle too. The sohc definitely sounds tougher than the Barra.

I just hope you change your underwear regularly. Otherwise crotch rot is a serious risk.

FYI.......All LE's are Maroon.

Did it have the original Honeycomb wheels ?
Seen a couple with aftermarket mags, they just don't look right to me.

[DJM83]

VF GTSR.
BA GTP in failing Citric acid, with aged NSW Rego sticker from 2013 and QLD Registration plates.
AU3 TE50 in Narooma Blue

[Rallye Sport]

Went from "Can't remember the last time I saw a Lamborghini" to "seen every one they make" on my early run up the coast this morning.

[XB GS 351 Coupe]

Saw an original unrestored John Goss Special XB today.

Can't remember the last time I saw one driving on the road.

It was a green one.
