Are these still just organ donors for ESP replicas or XD/XE builds generally?

351/FMX ZK weren't officially available. It would be good to get a pic of the ID plate.

Curious! Wasn't the only thing Fairlane on the ESP's being the front guards?? ( Body wise)

The good old days....

[Rallye Sport]

Another when it rains it pours moment. Always had a soft spot for the Charades so on a work trip to the Great Southern region WA, it was nice to see a couple being taken to the local speedway as Junior cars.
Then on pulling up in one of the towns I spotted this sedan, rare back in the day I thought they'd be extinct by now. Would have been the predecessor to the Applause but it has a boot lid instead of hatch back.

Yes, I made a mistake and supplied corrected information. My apology for that was genuine.

Out for dinner the other night.
Walked passed a euro mechanic.
Seen an older Cayenne.
But it wasnt a Cayenne, Had a big Gemballa sticker across the back google tells me its a Gemballa Tornado?
I should have stopped for a look. I might try sneak a look next week if its still there.
Im not knowledgeable enough to know the year model, but it'd have been late 2000s id say.
Shoulda took a picture.

Sorry, my mistake too. I didn't realise that you were the OP, & misread your reply. All good.

That would be damn rare.

Amusement grade “spot” today - slightly tired black VF R8 with rego BABY. The kind of thing you’d imagine Shazza Jones buying if she won big on the scratchies.

Also brown XJ-C with beige vinyl roof near St Peter’s, Wahroonga. And on a tilt tray near Thornleigh, black VG hardtop with Pacer livery.

Closet old school Cayenne fan here, no idea why, but a V8 one would be a nice cruiser that can do most things.

Also didnt realise that there was a manual option way back, I prefer the earlier design too.

Its was too quick for me to get a photo but I saw an immaculate Mitsubishi Sigma Scorpion.

Many years ago I was passed by one of these on the F3 / M1 freeway.

My reaction was " Wow. Look at the size of that. Didn't know that Porsche made wagons".

Now, everybody drives a similar size SUV available in 50 shades of blackish grey.

[Fast Eddie]

Mazda's RX2, 3, 4, and 5's. Personal favourite of mine were the RX3's.

The Crown contrasts to those soul less shitboxes lined up at the lights.

There's another 2 Crowns I've spotted in the same town of equal perfect original condition on full reg.

Interesting sounding HX (vertical grille bars) passed by in Pyrmont this morning. I thought ah Holden 6 at first but gave a deeper throaty note and glanced what I thought said SANDMAN on the tailgate.

Later spotted it parked opposite the Maritime Museum.

You been the judge.... H series with a Barra ???



Sported a nice set of alloy version of the GTS rally wheels.

Quite believable, about thirty years ago my BIL dropped a holden 186 in a 64 XM Falcon ute, wish I took a photo of that.
Have seen some weird engine conversions over the years with different makes.

Orangey-brown Hillman Hunter spotted driving in Artarmon today, possibly a Royale - black vinyl roof and textured aluminium full beaver trim. Standard rego; good on them.
