Default Re: Cars you don't see many of anymore

Was following this for a while today on the M2 freeway. I was in the partners Mitsi Mirage... and grandad was booting his 'stang' from 80 - 120 kays an hour to blow out the webbs.. didn't go that well. Wasn't 'spanking' me as I expected. Yes sure, it pulled away, but not as rapidly as I expected it would, being such a minter. 289 badge on the guard.




Pretty sure I got busted by a new mobile phone detection camera using my phone about 10 seconds after taking this pic .. BUGGA!

Sorry no pictures, but was in Corryong Vic yesterday and there was some English Ford meet up.
Various models of Zephyrs and a Zodiac.

This one comes under the category of Cars you don’t see many of anymore. The tyres protruding a few inches beyond the guard look a bit dodgy.

Bugga indeed. Hope you’re wrong about the camera.

Yes me to.. Re: the mobile phone detection cam... bugga moment.

Today's spot: an original XB ute, 250 column auto in cream. Good nic to.
Next was Nana in her orange 4 door LJ torrie, original owner I suspect, judging by the condition.

And the winner goes to:



Very nice resto. Sounded tough as. Had the opportunity to get embarrassed at a red light, but decided against it. The TRD is 'quick' to me, but it's still just a taxi. lol. A nice taxi..

A good dash cam will take reasonable pictures and costs less than a phone fine.

I’ve seen three Munros in the last two weeks - a red HQ in the back of Marrickville, a red HT or HG on Victoria Rd Drummoyne, and a white HK (I think) on Beecroft Rd. That’s excluding the workshop’s space-waster.

Watched an episode of JAG tonight, part of the Show was in Sydney and a couple of mighty AUs were in a scene.
