I saw a first series Cortina this morning (Melb). White, four door, full reg., primer on the door bottoms and sills. Parked - with steering lock in place.

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.

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

My first car was a 89 TX5 Ghia. Great car and good memories. I actually kept driving it when I got my WRX before I sold it. Just couldn't afford to keep two cars especially being on my Ps.

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.

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 ... |

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. |

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.
