Today's car spotting adventures...
Didn't get a pic, but it was a 2 door soft top Galaxie in gold or silver. Can't remember. Never seen a convertible Galaxie 500 before, that I can remember, anyway, it was something like this: The paint on this XR8 "daily" was pealing badly on the bonnet and roof. Hard to tell from the way I got the pic. BA Fairlane G8. BA? BF? Don't know, haven't seen many of them tho. And who can forget the TE Corty wagon... yep, big block 4.1 4 speed... tacho dash and all. Can't say I'm a fan of the stance, but hey, whatever floats his boat... Cheers, One Man

In the boring black and white sea of SUV's along Eastern Valley Way and I spot a lovely metallic green Valiant Ranger wagon complete with the white venetians along the back windows.
While walking back, spotting the other nice Merc parked 2 streets from the one post a couple of days back.

Even on my days off I still have the urge to take snaps of the classics that are daily's...
Spotted this at a pub last night. Man, no way would I park it in a pub carpark like that.. I'd be freaking out about getting a dent. One Man

Almost needed them in the sedans due to the filler being behind the number plate. Wagons weren't much better being low on the rear quarters either.

Thanks for that, I'll normally park a truck in front as well when I'm away. Yeah my first car was a 77 HZ wagon if you parked it on the low side of the bowser you were fine.

Speaking Hodlen, are these of any real interest now - or just worth whatever one can get?

Spotted these on Sunday and Monday(today)
Capri.. not idea what was under the lid. didn't hear it, didn't see the exhaust tip(s) as I was turning right and holding up traffic. I was wondering why the guy in the car behind me was waving at me. Would be nice if he could use all his fingers next time he waves at me. Roller Another UC torrie when I was at Upull-it.. One Man

Was in Beechworth on Saturday and there was a gold FG F6 sedan parked in town.
Appeared really well looked after, with some flash aftermarket wheels. However I followed it leaving town and it was blowing a heap of oil smoke, one of the worst I've seen from a Barra. Sad to see...

Hellava trapdoor there!
Was gardening with the better half clearing and excavating out a rock garden, and she got one of those on her glove, must've ****ed it off, it struck multiple times over a couple of seconds, went through the glove and punctured her skin. A nervous half hour later, we'd taken a pic to the doc and it was OK, the bites might hurt and she might feel a bit dizzy, but would be OK. She reckoned it was like a small hand grabbing hold of her finger tight, then a sharp pain like getting a splinter. Our one was a darker colour, almost black, but still the brown was visible.
