@ttyymmnn lol

@Nick-Hynds Love those fender mirrors!

@CB duck tape

@pip-bip

That ended way too soon. I wanted to see the aftermath once the smoke cleared. Thank god somebody grabbed the baby.

Good mornin.

@pip-bip

Wow, great attendees.

@pip-bip it was 70 here today and we're seeing lows around 45.... I'd call it perfect but who's counting?

@pip-bip Did you just... lifter skirt?

@Dash-Doorhandle-and-Bondo said in morning oppo:

@pip-bip The Original Seville was styled 5 years ahead of it's time. The follow-up was clearly designed by quaaludes.

I agree. Well said.

I don't think I've seen this line in advertising before.

@Boxer_4 This was seen at the scene images.jpeg

@pip-bip that’s awesome! A 79-81 Trans Am. Someone probably spent a lot of money making it RHD so that’s pretty crazy.

The back looks a bit like the Alpine Ravage but it's definitely not as nice :

Radelaide beckons...only problem is that you've missed Womadelaide!

@Demon-Xanth Even in 1987, the Beetle was still the smarter choice. Less likely to spend more days in the shop than on the road in a given year.

@farscythe g'night

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly

Thanks, that is awesome. I'll review closer tonight. But that does look like there is quite a disparity in price.

@facw Do it Hunter Style

@houstonrunner coz i can.

@pip-bip Goodmorning... or should I say goodnight!

@pip-bip

So much America I can’t even.

@pip-bip That's a long looking bridge.

Luke warm take: it's better looking than the generic white crossovers being sold today.

@pip-bip ATBGE

@boxer_4 I'll take the Mazda thank you very much.

@pip-bip They've become even more expensive? Damn! A little while back I looked at some Australian used Land Cruiser ads out of curiosity (what with the 15 year rule here in Canada I can at least half-realistically mull over importing one) and remember being amazed at how close in price most of the decade and a half old ones were in price to a new one.

@pip-bip The Premier was one of the best cars that nobody bought. The only one I can really remember seeing was owned by a friend's father, who was in the Canadian Forces Air Command and stationed in the US for some reason. They had that, and a first gen Mazda MPV, which we went to see Jurassic Park in on opening day.

nanny state

@svend almost lunch time 🙂 you have a good one too.

@pip-bip

Lockdown? How quaint. This is what the highest infection rate ever looks like in America.

@pip-bip Still FWD

@pip-bip "why did you turn?!?!"

@pip-bip That's perfect and I want it.

@rallydarkstrike
Ye', also just looking at the plate tells you when and where it was first registered. In this case it's a suffix plate where the age identifier is on the right.
L being 1973, if it was a prefix plate, the age identifier would be on the left and L would be 1993/94.
In the block of three letters is the regional identifier, in this case MM, which up to 1975 was London.
The three numbers and other letter are insignificant.

@pip-bip good looking car

@pip-bip Car design is hard, that's why they have schools for it and professionals who specialize in it. Someone should let these Tongji folks know that we understand, and don't blame them for what happened.

@pip-bip I'm getting some strong nissan pulsar vibes, I'd love to have one of these, such a cool car.

@pip-bip Those wheels are going to do nothing for keeping brake temps down!

@onlytwowheels the O-team

@farscythe true

@pip-bip That is freaking SWEET!

@farscythe I just saw that myself and had to check timestamps between here and there to see who copied who, lol!! 😛

@whoistheleader probably.

@pip-bip

This kind of thing intrigues me. The pattern making is the more attainable part on a DIY level - I'd hand it off to someone else with a proper setup to perform the actual casting.

@vondon302 many times.
