Not normally a fan of Hitler wagons but this Passat was a real time warp.

I still don't think I have EVA seen one. I have seen an Acura... if that's the same as the one in Pulp fiction. But NSX. No.

Good job

I have seen quite a few nice rides that I couldn't take pics of, here's the ones I DID get pics of... in not specific order.

As far as I'm aware, Acura is to Honda as Infinity is to Nissan.

Also saw a Honda NSX on Friday in the Coburg area, and a few minutes later in Preston a mint condition White EL XR8.

[DRU842]

Saw this Mazda 121L a few months back; forgot to post until now.

[ford71V8]

Side street next to home, a speeding ZK Fairlane.
White duco, neat, but slow down ********.

[XR Martin]

Saw a Mazda Bravo dual cab with the 4.0L V6.
Can't be many of them getting around even when new.

Surprisingly i see more 4 door Bentley continentals (dunno if thats what theyre called, but newer ones with 4 doors) getting about then the 2 door continental gt's these days. Not exactly common either way as they are a teir above a hybrid camry.... but still.

If it wasn’t for the Colorado I’d say this bloke has taste.

[roKWiz]

Mark 2 van looks to be for sale in Wang.

[DJM83]

Bloody caravanner's, he's only taking up 5 spaces, another more considerate
one down further with a larger van only took 2 spots.

I think it still is, after a quick google they have more load space than the 300 series, Prado and Everest.
Hence why these cars are so practical without most people realising.
But hey, room temp IQ car buyers insist Rav4, Sorrento etc are a necessity.

Reason people are buying everything else except for Falcon Wagon is because there are no more new Falcons available, you are quite welcome to stay in your time warp.

I happily will, you need a very large SUV (like American or Mercedes GL Class) to offer the same amount of load space as a Falcon wagon.
But it goes for all wagons even though there’s only a handful left on the new car market.
The rise of retardedly driven shit box SUVs and the hollow justification people have for buying them was well under way when the Falcon was available.
That extends to other wagons as well, Mondeo, Mazda 6, Passat etc.
Not a chance a RAV4, Hyundai ix35 and whatever else is more practical than a medium - large wagon despite sales figures saying otherwise.

Don't know about the wagon but the van has plenty of good old fashion practical room.

[XR Martin]

Tidy E30 in Canberra city.
No badge, so no idea what model.

[roKWiz]

Bidet again.



Park away from everyone but they still want to park next to me.

[ford71V8]

We sometimes grab a pizza on a Saturday evening, throw out a blanket at the park to eat.
While I was eating I had to watch this car awkwardly reverse park right next to our parked Territory.


Take a look at the parking available.
Easily 6 or 7 dozen empty spots.



I started getting annoyed when all 4 doors opened and kids started pouring at the back while dad tended to removing the family's bikes that were hanging off the back of their car.
Once the kids had cycled off I went and had a word with dad.
I was polite but baffled because this guy couldnt understand why I had an issue with where he parked and had approached him.
Seriously?
But I didnt hit your car?
Yes I know, thank you, but can't you see my point?
Blank.
He must have thought about it because when we packed up our car he reappeared and apologised and told me he had found another carpark to unload their bikes.
So he still didnt seem to get it.... maybe misunderstood "car park / capark" ??
Wife wanted me to leave it but I just had to know what his thinking was.
Turns out not much.

I have asked this question a couple times over the years, comments have been mainly security reasons, people don't like parking cars out in the open by themselves, personally I don't care whether someone parks next to me or not, after all it is public car parking bays.
Be careful next time asking, as I had one such person take offense at me for asking, he thought I was being a smartass.

[XR Martin]

Some people can't actually park unless there's another car to use as a guide.
