Dark green HT Holden Wagon on Gympie Road at Chermside. In original condition and driven by, who I suspect to be, the original owner. Even had personalised plates and full Rego.

Three classics spotted passing through town yesterday.

Very nice BF Fairmont Ghia, between Orange and Molong.

[.:4:.]

I saw a dual cab ranger today with an extended frame and a single cab tray on it. So a dual cab that can actually fit crap in the tray.

The x90 must have had some odd following if a company made a bull bar to fit.

Some of you may enjoy this video, or it may make you cry.

That was cool. We can use them to make Australia into it's future Cuba, as our economic complexity plummets into 3rd world status.

Oh yes, on the weekend saw a mint HD Premier wagon, all original and immaculate, in a beaut green, maybe Sea Mist Jade

Weren't they just a Vitara 4WD chassis with the ugly 2-door body fitted on top ?

Cheers Dr Terry, and what a great colour it is.

Camira wagon in tastefully faded brown.

Had to look twice, they're pretty rare.

This SLR5000 pulled up in the lane next to me this morning. With that number plate I expected it to be red.

My neighbor's brother had one of those, same colour too.

[ford71V8]

Much nicer than the dirty red Sunbird I saw the other day

[XR Martin]

G8 220 and in the same carpark a DC LTD - both well looked after.
Yesterday a burgundy EL XR6.
Day before a unrestored XB GS. (See it occasionally getting around)
There's also an old duck getting around in unrestored ZK Fairlane near me.

Club of a variety of (REAL) MG sports cars passing through town yesterday, tops down enjoying the prefect weather here.

[rare ss]

Seen a very tidy silver HJ Statesman (caprice maybe?) with an old fellow driving it around the local suburb.. original plates possibly one owner car, looked factory mint condition wasn't fast enough with the camera though

This has been down by work the last couple of days.

I spent too much school time drawing Bedford vans with murals and bubble windows

Another town and another bloody Zeta, only a wagon (??) this time.



Couldn't resist a pic of this hard working girl taking a short break under the trees.

Looks to be around 1973 vintage.

[DJM83]

Not trawling me dashcam for pics, spewing!
VS HSV Grange, bloke gave it some berries, sounded pretty good.
XD Fairmont Ghia, wasnt standard but looked amazing.
WH Caprice, young lass driving it gave it some hurry seemed like all bark and no bite but it sounded brilliant.

Those Ford trucks seem to be real cheap on second hand market, there was a whole heap that popped up in good condition in the $5K-$15K mark, it doesn't seem too popular on the second hand market.

There's a lot of stuff under and over 4500kg GVM that is so much cheaper than the equivalent F100-F350 which is 3-5x the price for a rusty shit heap compared to a lot of the classic Internationals and other options out there for someone who wants a classic ute/commercial vehicle.

What you can get those other options for in mint condition, there's heaps in the $15K mark in mint condition compared to the equivalent F100-F350 chasing $50K-$75K.

I want to do a spare wheel carrier like that on my ACCO, where its under the truck on some wind mechanism but I'm not sure if I've got the room for it anywhere.

Saw this FG FPV F6 sedan at Goonawarra Medical Centre yesterday in Sunbury:



Looks stock as well, I really like the FG F6 with the 'racoon eyes' and in silver or white, such an understated vehicle thats a ****ing beast from the factory floor.

The RAV4 next to it makes the FG look tiny width wise, makes me laugh that 'Oh Australians don't want big cars anymore' - yeah thats a 'midsize' SUV next to it that makes the Falcon look like a kei car.

The owner of the chemist in that building has a Detomaso Pantera, I've got a photo of it somewhere.
