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

as my Lethal Weapon 3 pinball says when starting a new game 'back in action'.

This weeks effort.

Pic quality is garbage. After having a near miss with the phone detection camera the other week (no ticket! Dodged a bullet there Thank Fsck),
I have been using my GPS when desperate and time poor.

1990's silly car:



Pretty sure these wasn't thick on the ground when new:



Nice old steel bumper merc a des. Old guy driving. (yeah, older than me even!) Looks like it had been hand polished once a week from new. It was a minter:



Split window Combi bus. Now THIS is something I don't see on the road very often (crap pic) but youse get the idea:



last on this list, a Ford Ranchero GT ute 1973 if google is correct:

Lots of comments about even newer Fords not being seen, saw this one the other day, totally jealous.. nice colour to.



Next.. HB Torrie with an attitude, didn't hear it, don't know anything about it other than I haven't seen one since, shit... the last time he he he



Autobarn had a ridiculously cheap oil special on the weekend (24/11/2024) for 10w /40 Full synth 5 litre bottles for $16.99. Hell yeah, fried the tyres trying to get there before they were all gone... and watched this roll up as I was walking in..





The guy tells me it's a rare green colour.. and goes on to say it's the only one in SA.. find THAT hard to swallow, but hey, what do I know?

Next: I have only seen one other of these regularly. It's is always at the Kilburn shopping centre Autobarn selling snags.
This one I spotted driving down the M2 expressway. Pretty rare.. even for Radelaide..



Next: who's a Fiat fan?



Next: VL commie exec. looked pretty stock



Next: couple of old jags that have been left to rest..



That's about tit.

Cheers,

One Mad Man

Congo Green is a fairly rare colour in that era.

It's Dash - the best Falcon colour in my opinion - 2007 - 2009 across BF2 and FG1

Now I have finally hit the jackpot, something 100% not seen many any of..



Wow, I'm thinking this could be the first model of these things. Good to see it still goes, and it's currently registered to..

Next, and old Biddy...



I did see a nice blue one rolling down the road, had the full resto done on it.
No pics for that one...


Cheers,

One Mad Man
