However I don't think those are original wheels? Off a Telstar?

Two decent “spots” yesterday.
A red non-Calais VL sedan near Baulkham Hills, by the way its trim fitted I think an original in great condition - not a restoration. Personalised plates, bonus points for not being a poxy survivor on club rego. In the back blocks of Castle Hill’s industrial area, an XP hardtop with the front end on a dolly. |

Remember all the 90's imports of the day, dont see any of them anymore, like the Toyota Sera, I remember a yard that was importing heaps of these, Delica's Corollas and RX7's in Fremantle in the 90's

Don't see these anymore, much less racing them.

Damn marvellous seeing them thats for sure, the coupes AU and XY ? yer the yanky modern day vette, nothing like of the early era ones but not a bad modern day version. Seen them heaps when over there, massive bang for buck compared to euros.

My X-Trail started to run a little rough, especially on cold starts. Even when filling with 98 at non BP (independent) stations. A tank full of BP 98 fixed it. Won't look back. |

Parked near a previously seen Alfasud this morning at the local shops. Owner showed up and we briefly chatted. Its still on original rego, owner said it was 44 years old and a one owner car, which looked about right if he'd bought it as a young man.
It looks like a well loved survivor car. Next time I'll grab a snap. He did say getting parts was becoming a real problem.

Saw an extended FG Falcon ute with a lazy axle transporting a large electrical switchboard on the M80 last week, unfortunately couldn't snap a photo of it.

Mint original series 1 Discovery driven by older gent in Geelong late last week, dark green in colour, original steelies with the silver spray rather than the white, I think that was the 'S' pack? Anyway very nice in that colour.
