Savage move by #99 at the 55 second mark lurching to the left and slamming the door into the little left hander

He drives it maybe 4 or 5 times a year, still has less than 100,000 miles on it I believe

I know a guy who has some mental health issues around hoarding, and his wife pretty much does too. They have a HQ Monaro GTS the same color as that one in their garage that he bought new in 1973

Pretty close. Max’s panel van was a HJ the first generation of that body shape, the one at the top is a HX I think. Max’s HJ was modified too, looks like Mercedes headlights (which was a pretty common mod for these in the 70s) and GTS guard vents as well as the mural on the side and the “shaggin’wagon” interior that…

Lol, graduated to NASCAR, that’s funny right there

This myth that politicians killed the Australian car industry is such a load of crap. The Australian car industry killed the Australain car industry by not buildng cars good enough to bring in the level of export sales required to keep a car manufacturer afloat in the modern economy

Well spotted, it definitely is...

I can definitely see the genesis of the FF/GTC4Lusso in the rear of the 456 Venice

Back in 1989 a friend moved from Canberra to Sydney and asked me to drive a car up for him so I made it a weekend road trip with my new girlfriend

It was 1987, I hitchhiked most days rather than having to walk the 5 or so kms home from the train station. I would always get a ride within a few minutes as long as I was walking. If you stood still people were way less likely to pick you up

I want a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with Citreon C3 Cactus styling

Came here to suggest this name, stunned I had to scroll so far to find it, surely this is the most obvious option

This page has a good list of streaming services, scroll down for US options

Um, seriously? Bathurst 1000? Anyone? Anyone?

Not sure about NZ, but here in Australia a base Mustang GT costs AUD$70,000, compared to the same US model at US$37,000

$37,000 in US dollars is $55,000 Australian dollars, so we pay about US$10,000 more, which is quite a bit but less than I expected

The US dollar in general has more buying power, I was absolutely…

Mustangs are built right hand drive and sold here by Ford, Camaros are imported and converted to right hand drive by a third party company

After the supply of V8 Commodores and Falcons ran out there was a real splintering of options depending on which state

For Highway Patrol usage, In NSW they seem to be mostly BMW 5 series and Chrysler 500 SRT, in ACT and Victoria they use VW Passat 206 proline wagons, but Victoria has at least one BMW M5 and Tesla…

Just did a road trip with my kids up and down the east coast of Australia and my kids have a game they call “mine” where they claim cars they see on the road, with the aim of claiming the best car. “Mine, Mustang” was called out at least 3 or 4 times an hour or more, those things are everywhere. Compared to 2 Camaros…

We made some good cars in Australia and we even managed a few great cars but what we could never do is make a car that has wide appeal on a global level. Sadly the days of developed countries making cars only for domestic sales are long gone, it’s just not viable, you have to have at least some of your cars sell well…

I thought it was because the police in Australia are not allowed to buy anything without a 5 star ANCAP rating and the Mustang’s lowly 3 star score didn’t cut it. I also heard it was the brakes that were overheating, not the engines
