Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / November 2009My road trip ...
Went yesterday for a road trip didn't get back until this morning and got my arse kicked for not not telling anyone where I was. Ford Maxi Econovan drives well at around 130kph. Has no rego plates, but police just check VIN because it is under rego still. I'm starting to wonder if rego sticker and plates are mutually exclusive. Anyway Southport up to Brisbane up to Coolum beach, f.cked if I know where that is (Sunshine hwy), so slept overnight in back of van in Brisbane coming back as the person whom I bought it for put a double matress in back - good sleep.

Only car that I've owned that might fit into the valuable or rare category is the Mk1 GT Cortina, I wish I had kept it but I'm not loosing any sleep over it.

Well, he's about 87 cents short of a buck, so you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work it out :) > Only car that I've owned that might fit into the valuable or rare category > is the Mk1 GT Cortina, I wish I had kept it but I'm not loosing any sleep > over it. I'm much the same. There's been a few cars I've owned that I'd like to have today, but at the end of the day I was happy to get the money for them that I did at the time. I just think that everyone who sells an original GTHO for 500 grand today is a complete and utter c.nt who deserves to die a horrible death. I'm not bitter about selling mine for 2800 bucks though :) -- Regards, Noddy. > There's been a few cars I've owned that I'd like to have today, but at the > end of the day I was happy to get the money for them that I did at the time. > I just think that everyone who sells an original GTHO for 500 grand today is > a complete and utter c.nt who deserves to die a horrible death. > > I'm not bitter about selling mine for 2800 bucks though :) Bet that fact has caused a few tears over the years:-) A mates XYGT (not a HO) was sold after someone in Warrnambool went through a stop sign and T boned him, it could have been repaired but he was so pissed off about the crash he sold it, if he only knew at the time that 25yrs later it would be worth crazy money. Daryl > Bet that fact has caused a few tears over the years:-) Yeah, it has, but what I would have made on that one if I had it today would have just about covered the losses on the other 99 or so that *didn't* become collectable :) > A mates XYGT (not a HO) was sold after someone in Warrnambool went through > a stop sign and T boned him, it could have been repaired but he was so > pissed off about the crash he sold it, if he only knew at the time that > 25yrs later it would be worth crazy money. Nasty. Although the boom seems to have well and truly busted now, no one could have predeicted the incredible prices people would be paying today for 60's and 70's muscle cars. I mean, it only seems like 5 years ago that you struggled to get more than a few thousand bucks for a HK Monaro, now people seem keen to show how stupid they are by paying ridiculous money for rusted out shells. -- Regards, Noddy. >> Bet that fact has caused a few tears over the years:-) > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > to show how stupid they are by paying ridiculous money for rusted out > shells. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sure, but you are "glass half empty".... > -- > Regards, > Noddy.

Simple, hire the nanocreatures off Dr Who or Torchwood, get a picture of the Ford you want, a pile of Ford rust, seperate it from the bog, discard the bog.. and just whisper mummeee mumeee.. are you my mummmy then run like hell.

That doesn't make it rare or desirable, the reason they don't make that configuration any more is very few want them. > Good luck finding one in excellent condition.

IMO they were a good looking car in their day and that's why were at one time one of the best selling cars in the world. Daryl >> My 'lux is indeed rare.

Daryl > The gearbox bearings will fail long before that and only if it doesn't > break down when the head gasket blows:-) No wonder it was called the Bongo (original name for the arsehole of a thing). It will suck air and backfire and blow something all in a big splurge of smog. They should of called it the Mazda Bong instead it will evidently drive you insane. ;-) --- Regards Dan. > > The gearbox bearings will fail long before that and only if it doesn't > > break down when the head gasket blows:-) [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Regards > Dan.

Maybe got stuck on the Goatway.. though the new Go-Via sh.t kept us moving last time although they take an additional $1 when you deposit into their account and 40c for each photo (with the scheme we took) but it's much better than the leap-frog money grab approach if you don't have any money in credit. You get the initial bill then if you don't pay it up, then ups, failng that ups to $140 IIRC then I guess if you don't pay that you will be sent to Tambo and waterboarded by ASIO, then all you goods stolen and sold to cover costs of your fine and torture... all this for daring to use a road. Do you know how much the upkeep on a dungeon is these days? Inmates expect running water... those bastards. Nth side of Bris to GC alone can take 2 hrs, ask me how I know.
