Cars you don't see many of anymore

Gee I remember that thing doing the round when I was in primary school during the early 90's

[XR Martin]

If it was an XC I'd be all over it.

I figured there'd be a few Westralians that recognised it, it is something you would notice in traffic.

I remember that one too, sort of like the Bat mobile of the bin and litter world. A bit sad seeing it like that, I used to love seeing it.
There was another custom plumbers rig going around at the same time, not sure what it was but it was called 'The Stool Bus'

[Tonz]

Why?? why design something like that?

Imagine working for the owner. And this was your take home company vehicle.

I know it says it's a ute but wonder if it was cut down from a rusty panel van back in the day using both ute roof cap and PV parts.

Guy at work just bought a VZ Clubsport manual in yellow. Paid 45 K which he was happy with. It has over 200k on the clock with receipts for a rebuilt engine

[Franco Cozzo]

Can't remember the last time I saw a Ford Puma

[CyberWasp]

It was good of Franco to quickly pull over in his Triton and run back and take the snap of the Valiant. Much appreciated.

Saw a Probe today on North East Rd, coming out of the Bunnings at Windsor Gradens. Was in that paint that changes colour from purple through blue and gold and green and whatever else, depending on position of the sun to the panel.

Was weird because about 20 years ago my mate got rear-ended by one about 500m up the road from there at the Holden Hill copshot lights...did not take him long to get sick of the probe up the **** comments.

Local mechanic near me (ill get a pic)
VT 5L wagon (i think Berlina)

[xkxlxm]

today: XY ute, green, 351 GT badges, four exhaust tips, looked nice

[BlueBear]

Citroen Xantia coming out of the tyre shop I was going into.
Very nice condition - sparkling in the sun in a nice metallic green.
I guess I notice 'cause I drive a Citroen C5X7, one of the last Hydropneumatic suspension models.

Saw an old bloke driving a very sun damaged zh fairlane in fawkner last week. Was on full rego too. Reckon hes been driving it for 40+ years and what a sight it was

Felt like I was a kid in the 80s again

[ford71V8]

An old Charger parked on main street.
Definitely a daily driver, dirty red colour, dirty windows, dirty rims and and scuffed tyres.
Think it was rocking roofrack too.
Wash your car dude....looks like last time was 1986

Yesterday: Lada Niva

[DFB FGXR6]

Had an Alfa Romeo 155 sedan in the carpark yesterday.

[DTFRMONT]

Taurus Ghia finishing tonight on Grays.

Actually looks like it's in reasonable condition for its age, would be a fun weekend cruiser on club plates, something different from the usual at least!

First gen pathfinder is something i haven’t seen in a long, long time. Not to mention the Toyota 4runner. Haven’t seen one of those in years either. They both used to be fairly common.

[XR Martin]

To add to yesterday, Chery J1 and a Daihatsu 4x4 dual cab thing.

And today on a drive to Yass.
V8 EB2/ED Fairmont wagon. (didn't see the front)
Laser wagon.
2x P38 Range Rovers.
C3 Corvette convertible.
Subaru Brumby

Thats tidy as, apart from the wheels

Soft spot for ED XR Falcons.

Today: Rover 3500 (P6; 1968-77 wiki tells me); full Vic reg, older bloke driving it; looked a bit tatty, but he's still driving it ...

Humber sedan; full Vic reg personalised plate and a reg check says it's a 1961 model and registered until 4 May 2023; rusty doors; parked on street; didn't look like it's been driven much - if at all - recently

early Celica coupe, 1970s; looked like a daily driver; not pristine condition

and an MGB still on full reg.

Spotted a Citroen DS this morning enjoying the autumn sunshine. Have always like the bigger Citroen's, especially this and the C6 from the mid-2000's.

[DJM83]

Spotted this the other day, not something you see many off despite how popular they were.
Manual too i think. Lowered a touch with some nice pipes.
Would own/10

[Tonz]

amazing car to ride in as a young un, you felt like it was a space craft..
