I had mine for 7 beaut years . Only issue was it did a couple of the ignition modules in a short space of time . After the second one failed I bought a spare module and it lived in the glovebox for a couple of years until I traded her on a 1996 EF Futura also a 5 speed manual .. Even though it was a little under powered it was a classy car and drove really well . It was a dark red and something tells me it was Regency I think but can't recall for sure .. Haven't seen one for yonks ... |

A week ago I saw a Gemini (mid 70s) parked in a side street (Central Springs Rd?) off Vincent St, the main street in Daylesford. Looks like it's been there for a while. You would see it if you walk - or drive - along Vincent St.

500 was a trim level for the Falcons used in the 60's and early 70's.

Not that there was a lot of them around when they were new anyway, but you rarely see the Suzuki X-90 anymore. There is one in town, that I primarily see parked on the side of the road, but it must be running because occasionally it's not parked there.

Haven't seen a Laser Lynx in ages. They still look modern even today.

There's a guy in our local area getting around in a white Rover 416i Vitesse.
Haven't seen them, or any Honda Integras for a looooong time.

Saabs in general. Everywhere in the 80s,90s and 00s.
Possibly because they were too expensive to repair. |

A guy in Beechworth has quite the collection, all of them in various states of disrepair but drivable.

Not a car, but a vehicle:
Looks like late 90's early 2k. I grew up in the 80's and I think the vans then were Bedford's, or ex Australia Post vans. Something like that. |

Both ice cream and Australia Post ones. Am I right in remembering that they had some sort of sliding door for the driver? I recall these vans driving around either with no drivers door or with the drivers door always open?? Imagine that today....

Earlier E* series falcons - EA, EB, ED. Including Fairlanes and LTDs of that vintage.
Due to low production numbers of later Falcons, give it another 10-15 years, they're all gone. |

Oddly enough, for the first time in years during summer on the weekends there was 2 icecream vans operating in my local streets. One was a 2000ish transit, the other a bedford.
But one thing that really went extinct in the 90s, was the milk man. When i was growing up, twice a week the milk man would would deliver to the house. He drove a 70s datsun homer small truck thing. I think ive only ever seen 2 of those in my life. |

So vp commodores arent that uncommon. Although most have at some point been modified and are v6's. But theres a gem that i see from time to time. It appears to be original owner, it also appears to be washed more often then its driven. Its a vp executive, stock as a rock, but its a v8. Last week when i saw it it was mint, this morning when i saw it, the rear guard was caved in. A bit of a shame really.

Rare sighting on the golden mile of hepburn ave perth this arvo. Lotus europa.
You could car spot every day around that area I've mentioned before and still stand by that. Every week I get suprised by something just in normal week day 3pm traffic on the days I pick my kid up from greenwood primary school. Last week it was a 1970s BMW 02 or 3 series maybe single headlight e21? Some other days some custom USA car shows up from nowhere just driving along in regular midweek traffic. E: The lotus was tiny, below the windows of most cars so it must be nerve-wracking to drive it in weekday traffic fearing being sideswiped all the time.
