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.. One Man

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.

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!

and this: be amazed if anyone has seen either one of these for a while.. I also saw a REALLY old green Volvo that had two leather bonnet restraints going in the opposite direction to me. No pic.. Bugga.. Oh well. That's my Friday's update. Cheers, One Man

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.

Maybe a nod to the classic Mk2 racing Jags. (Probably the only Vo Vo I would ever consider buying)

Ford Laser KB spotted (by Google) on Punt Rd 2 years ago, looks like some kind of special edition? (it's got a fancy passenger side mirror!):
https://maps.app.goo.gl/cML7doHVnP9GjnnG9 There are only about 200 of these left registered. Quote:

Wow I can't believe that Vauxhall Victor is the same size as a 1990s Hyundai Excel. How does it manage to look so much bigger than that?

More info here: https://www.automobile-catalog.com/p...html#gsc.tab=0 I was a passenger in one, many times, when it was new, back in the day. (Yeah I'm old right...). It was red, so I'm guessing that's why it went well, oh, and the fact that it was new prolly helped. We used to go down to the Goldie (Gold Coast) from Brisbane every Friday night in search of pu tang. The owner used to cruise it at 160kays an hour without a problem. Nice thing, always wanted one, but to be honest, It'd be a total let down after owning all of the "fast" cars I have owned since then. I did own a KH TX3 Turbo (2WD) for a week before I flipped (sold) it. They are a pretty decent unrefined thing. Torque steer city. Cheers, One Man
