Tis a shame I don't see any Fords that are photo worthy.

I noticed in my many trips to Adelaide that the were more older cars on the road in Adelaide than in Melbourne. Why?

Adelaide is the backwater. also depends on suburbs. I am in Ade at present, and in one part of town yesterday so many older stuff.
go to a country town and you will see the same thing.

Canberra seems to have a lot of survivors cars, considering the high average income.
Less rust than coastal areas and more tight-*****.

Was waiting for you to tell us how you blew the Phase 3 away

Great memory!


Both of those cars would be a handful around the 200km/h
