Nah, just remember all the guys from back in the day, Franks still around and probably still owns the GTO, unfortunately Alex is no longer with us.

They were interviewing Raff about the cost of tyres, I remember his Torana getting hit by the train at the entry to South beach when it got stuck on the tracks.

2 little Escorts over the last week.
First one was a bright yellow 1980 (i think!) RS, or at least a lookalike. Weirdly, I was reminded that evening about my spotto because my wife told me she saw what we believe to be the same Escort, earlier that day too.
Other Escort, dark brown, looked to be a touch earlier than that, average condition but still running around in the homebound traffic

Just saw a green EB Falcon 6cyl GT mock-up with gold Simmons FR18.
Haven't seen anything like that in 20 years I reckon.

I saw a very well kept green Chrysler neon in Bayswater Vic this afternoon. Not many of these around anymore.

Funny you say modern chrysler, one caught me ear today and foolishly i looked at it. An abnoxiously loud 300c, but a v6 so it sounded worse then a high pitched wet fart with follow through. Why delete mufflers on a pentistar (i think thats what the v6s were named), but hey, dont see 300c's anymore.
