It's actually a Corolla, but yeah I see your point. Very ordinary to say the least.

Look closely Kyro. Pic 1 has the corolla reversed and the silver Astra on the "right". Pic 2 has the corolla horizontally-correct, with the same Astra now in the rightful left position.

Joe, sif you'd be taking pix of cars at Tafe. You'd be off photographing other boys

Ive seen a few left hand drive chevy "VE commodores" going around... must be a test mule for the new chevy lumina or something...

I remember at tafe once, there is a blue toyota coupe, with gold 18" wheels, stock ride height, cannon exhaust, duct tape "GT stripes" and a ugly fake hood scoop held on with duct tape...

So pathetic...

yep clear taillights are bloody everywhere in Bendigo. theres 2 reasons why i hate clear taillights:
1. Because they look shithouse!
2. Because there more common than a VL or a VS commodore!!
