I was looking at the rear head rests. Prolly is an ex cab but had some things changed in its retirement.

Maybe it was never a taxi and he just ordered a yellow Falcon in the mid 90’s!

There doesn’t appear to be any paint fade where the taxi stripes and number decals would have been, suggesting they were never fitted.

I reckon you can see the 'hump' of the high series bonnet, the Falcon bonnet was flat.

Another for Footscray, a 84 Holden Gemini SL/X resprayed in dark/midnight blue.
And as fat pimply redheads go, It's usually a good idea to look under the bonnet. |

HX (I think; had egg crate grille) ute in royal blue, medium blue-grey interior. Accessorised with rear venetian, repro NRMA decal and chrome lashing rails. Black plastic with silver outline 5.0 badge on the upper right of tailgate - thought these models still used chrome?
No photo, as I was driving on Victoria Rd at the time. |

XA sedan, blue, but it's an absolute wreck dumped by the side of the Melbourne to Geelong rail line on the Geelong side of Wyndham Vale station; it must have been there for a few decades by now.
Elsewhere: a 180B four door which I think was on full Vic reg. Today: an XK120 Jag. at a car club gathering. Last edited by xkxlxm; 26-08-2023 at 07:09 PM. |

Today: first generation Magna, red, I think it was on full reg ie a daily driver.
[Last week in western Vic, a semi full of crushed cars went past; they were just stacked up, fully visible, possibly all 1990's cars.] |

Spotted a gen-1 Lexus IS300 today in immaculate condition, driven by an elderly gentleman. Even had the period correct number plates. I always liked these, mainly because of the inline 6.

Early 323 on Friday, the first model they shared with Ford. Good original condition, looked like a five or six year old car only.
Today, in Hunter Lane Hornsby, TWO white BA RTVs. One with Sunraysias and a canapé, the other with AU style five spoke alloys and an open tub. Pennant Hills Road northbound today, earlier flat-screen Beetle with patinated mint green paint, older driver. Looked not a fake “survivor”. |
