  1. Holden and Toyota in Australia used to do Executive versions which were just base models with automatic gearboxes and air conditioning. Very popular with fleet buyers.
  2. A doom blue sad face fiesta with ruined wheel trims and zero redeeming features. That is seriously miserable, well done.
  3. I believe the cam cover is machined to match the head as there are no camshaft caps, the cam cover itself is what holds the camshaft.
  4. This one has popped up locally to me, I’m surprised to see one here on the other side of the planet. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5883156805145145/
  5. Is it just me, or is the front bumper FUBARed?
  6. Looks to be mostly Jag XJs of the XJ40/X300/X308 vintage with a few oddities mixed in.
  7. Other than my own efforts, the oldest thing in our carpark is my mate’s late Jeep XJ Cherokee. It’s a real Trigger’s broom that needs constant work just to get him to work. He’d fit in well here as he just bought another one for spares that is being dismantled in his back garden. The next best thing we’ve got is an early 2000s Hilux that belongs to one of the truck drivers.
  8. I’d call it the Colio, because it needs to be eradicated.
  9. More of a satirical comment on Maestro enthusiasts in general.
  10. £2222.22 Buyer will have beard and be wearing corduroy trousers.
  11. Real Jaguar for full points. My two entries: (I know there has been a couple Corolla lift backs on the forum) (I don’t however recall a Hyundai Sonata before)
  12. That used to belong to some on here?
  13. You will need an Australian address for the rego papers and the CTP insurance to be sent to. My concern would be that you do not hold an Australian drivers license. In NSW your drivers license number is needed for the paperwork and the associated account with the NSW government. It must be possible to get around this as you can buy cars in different states than your home (e.g. someone who holds a QLD license can buy a car in NSW) but I don’t know how that works, having never personally bought a car interstate, but also considering you don’t hold a drivers license in any Australian state or territory. One thing I would highly recommend is buying a car that is currently registered and will not need renewal during your visit. Buying an unregistered car is painful for someone who lives here, let alone a visitor, because when a car goes out of registration you need to practically start again to get it re-registered as if it was a new car. Proof of purchase, verifying VIN, thorough inspection for roadworthiness, ect. ect. Also, you don’t need the hassle of renewing the registration if it lapses during your visit as you would have to pay up for a full years worth of registration and CTP insurance. Both of these things carry across from previous to new owner, so look for a car that doesn’t need to be renewed during your visit. On the plus side, when you cancel the registration and export the car you will be reimbursed the value of the remaining registration.
  14. 4A-F as it’s carbureted, 4A-FE has EFI.
  15. Does the replacement door have a door card?
