Aussie Outback to Melbourne.The End...really!

[Split_Pin]

I love the side shots that you have taken of a lot of your spots, cant put my finger on why they look so good.

 

I've tried that with my cars before but it just looks ordinary.

 

Please keep these spots coming - particularly of the Minis as they look just that bit different from UK ones.

Aye, unrusty, unrestored and un-messed with!

That too, but if you look closely there are differences, such as the use of front quarter lights.

Ok guys..seems popular force wins..ill keep it going..just wasnt sure how much interest was in all of this..ill keep the sad anorak armed with camera and continue the hunt..

Aermacchi Chimera, Rab. Lovely old thing - late 50's Italian style at its' best.

Keep 'em coming; the best thing about a spots thread from somewhere other than where you live, is it always seems that bit more unfamiliar. I spend ages looking at the everyday stuff in the background!

During moments of sobriety in between copious bottles of limoncello, I wonder what de Tomaso thought about this level of plagiarism?

 

 

[fotorabia]

above: thats quite a funny analogy...i remember seeing a Mangusta for sale on a yard in Sydney when i was a teenager...for a lil punk,,that car was badass..

Epic thread, Rab! I've just been back and re-read the whole thing as 'research' for our Oz trip in January. The vids are ace, too!

Are you staying in Victoria (The Place To Be!) then? If so, I'll miss you this time. Shame. I'm sure you could pass on some tips for the road-trip we have planned.

 

What's this one please Rab?

I can see elements of all sorts in that, but I just can't quite pin it down. An Oz-only model?

[Volksy]

It's a Holden Gemini, I assume Isuzu based.

[KruJoe]

Ta Volksy!

Only tip I could add is dont drive at night time unless u want to swap yourfront seat passenger for a kangaroo..or how many camels u can fit on your roofrack....

[KruJoe]

Thanks Tayne!

Thank you Rab, I'll bear that in mind! I don't think MrsKJ would enjoy a 'roo in her lap. I bet they don't look so cute that close up!

I think in your case Michiel..you have a tradition of controlling the waters..here unfortunately a bushfire is extremely unpredictable..and we re moving into what they call a catastrophic period..prolonged heat with high winds...its a bit wierd becos today was 22C..Friday will be 37C..but we are coastal..inland..its cooking...cars featured in the previous post ..Ballarat..there was a big fire there yesterday..and some very lucky calls...

Hello from Sunny Adelaide, SA!

Some great spots going on there in VIC, Rab! I've only been here a few days, just arrived from Sydney. I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by the quantity of old tat here, also. Of course, I'm papping where I can, and will share in good time. We've just had a couple days in Victor Harbor, seemingly a retirement community for the bewildered, and pickings were rich.

It was about 12*C and a howling gale last night (chilly on Granite Island), we were under-dressed after seeing 40 degrees in the daytime!

Bush fires have been all over the news this week too. Serious stuff.

Keep 'em coming Rab, I'll post mine up when I can. Next stop: Coober Pedy and on to the Red Centre...

[DSdriver]

Mmmm ... the red merc 2door and the amber alfa for me please if you can wrap them in bubblewrap and pop them in the post.

I see that Alfas rust in Oz too, mind you they would probably rust in the Kalahari dessert.

[HillmanImp]

Great snaps these. Am liking the side on photos you know as you don't seem to get those much anymore (myself included). Top work.

[michiel]

I want to be the boss of a liquor store now.

 

Enjoy your house while it's still there. Worth that much because of the land it sits on I guess?
