[bathursttiger1]

We have just got a Madza CX-30 Astina 2.5, the wife has a Isuzu MU-X

 

[Tiger5150]

66 HR Holden
Green with white roof
2 speed powerglide
Bench seats
Extractors
Exhaust
Fat deep dish wheels

Got a pic?
My first car was a HR

I got driven to day care in a green HR with white top

Mum didn't have her licence ....so the people we helped in the 74 floods sandbag their house would pick me up on the way

They became our best friends

Nice of them to help you 45 years later


I pick up my brand new Mercedes Benz X250d Power on monday. Im a little bit excited.


Nice Ute
Was thinking of trading my 2016 Nissan STX in for a new Hilux or Mercedes but decided to wait till the end of next financial year
Will keep my Colorado
Are you going to make a few changes or keep it as is
Eg: Bull bar, Led or spotties lift the suspension, 4wd tyres

If you are looking at a new ute (toward the top end), I'd strongly suggest at least checking out Mercedes. Because they have discontinued this model, they have DRASTICALLY dropped prices (think Hilux price range) . There could be a flow on with resale because of that, yet to be seen (I'm hoping the 3 point star offsets it to some extent) but they guarantee parts for at least 10 years, free servicing for 3 years, 5 year unlimited warranty.

Keep an eye out for the new Mazda BT50 or Isuzu D-Max, both have a lot of added tech and safety.

The new BT-50 will have the Isuzu D-Max motor in it.

The D-Max have an unbreakable 3.0L turbo motor, a real good motor for towing

Do you keep hitting the period button on your phone when you post Paws?

I'm deadset reading your posts in William Shatner's voice.

Got me thinking about Bodega Sparkling wine, Blue Nun etc. I was too young to partake or participate but the jokes.

Looking at the old Australian classics, remember the Mentals

Just to refresh this topic. The attached thread refers to Series 2 Mazda RX7.

http://www.ausrotary.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=252362

I considered purchasing a Series 2 Mazda RX7 Sports shell from a vendor in Geelong. The Sports model was stripped of all luxuries such as electric mirrors, radio, rear wiper and came with steel wheels and dress rims. It was intended these Sports models be converted for racing.

The example I saw from photos. (which was completely white) had very little to it plus a front ender which was repairable. Besides the accident damage, this example was clean in typical rust spots - chassis rails, firewall, rear quarters and the obligatory rust around the rear hatch. I decided not to buy it as the logistics of getting a rolling shell from Vic was difficult.

Unfortunately it was the wrong decision as it turns out it was one of two promotional Mazda RX7s used by Mazda Australia for publicity for the soon to race Moffat RX7 team. These two cars did not race but interestingly had the Series 1 Group C front air dam fitted than the Moffat Series 2. Refer photos on the attached link.

If you're interested, this is a later Series 3 1985 Mazda RX7 Sport owned by Blue Mountains Mazda.

This car below is presented as a 1979 Mazda RX7 Mirage. There were only 10 built for homologation purposes for the Moffat RX7 team. There was also a prototype built by Penrose Mazda in Vic which I am on the hunt to locate. I was informed by a good source that all 10 had been destroyed however this may have been resurrected. The 'monster' port 12A engine was not standard fitment for the Mirage. The cooling arrangements also seem a bit underwhelming for the heat likely to be generated.
