Rob G Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Across from the front door of the local hobby shop on Monday, a 2019 Mustang Bullitt 50th Anniversary model, in Metallic Green (the only colour they come in here). I'm not a fan of the new Mustangs, but this looks very nice indeed. No badges (not even a pony on the grille), no bling, just a big Bullitt badge where the fuel cap used to be on the old ones. At 80,000 Aussie shekels, I won't be buying one any time soon. Add to that the rather sad 3 star ANCAP safety rating (up from the previous model's 2 stars, and one of those stars is given for having a passenger seat belt warning light, so not hard to do!) and I'll pass. Looks very good though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 This afternoon while I was tooling around town, a nicely restored (apart from the low profile tyres on large wheels, which is a look I hate on classic muscle cars) HT Monaro, with a bent 8 in it. Not sure which 8, it was going the other way, but it sounded pretty good for a GM product. I'm pretty sure that it's a local car, so if I see it again I'll try to get a photo or 2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she didn't have the dog and luggage on the roof, Wow! Edited December 9, 2018 by PatW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawd knows how it managed it That reminds me of a holiday to Devon from Kent in about 1964/5 when we packed 7 into a Ford Anglia (105E). I do remember it jumping out of second gear on Porlock hill ! Terrifying! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AR918 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hi all, A short while ago I spotted this Yamaha TZR125 with discs all around and YPVS. The owner (a computer analyst!) described a meticulous "nut and bolt" rebuild and boy does it show, had a lovely rasp and crackle exhaust sound too. A very nice chance spot indeed. All the best.
