Do you seriously expect everyone to have a digital photo, ready to post, of every car they have driven? I’ve had my licence for 45 years, so that’s not really possible, plus I don’t think everyone would have taken a photograph of every single car they have had.

OK then. Here’s a photo of the Skoda at Bilpin a few weeks ago:

The Mitsubishi at Bathurst about 10 years ago:

And the Wolseley on Macquarie Road, Greystanes (probably taken around 2005):

The photo I have of the Jowett is an old black and white one buried in a box in the garage, I don’t have photos of the Austin, Holden Premier or Audi Fox. The photo I have of the Ford Consul Cortina is a colour slide, so I can hardly post that. I must have a photo of the Escort somewhere, but I don’t know where. The photos I have of the Gemini are prints in an album, which I have no intention of dismantling.

I reckon you should find the Rules and read them. It might help prevent you making silly mistakes. You can post as much information about yourself as your stupidity will allow......however, you are prevented from posting personal information about other Members. You did that....and it cost you less than I would have handed you. You would not be here.

Thank you for the description of yourself.

If there was any real need for me to do so, I would, although scanning them would make more sense that photographing them. In fact, I have been doing so with a number of my photographs over the last year or so. The only thing is that I would have well in excess of a thousand photos, so I am only scanning the ones I particularly want to do at this stage. The photographs that these cars appear in are pretty low on my priority when it comes to the scanning of all my photos.

I bet it sounded gorgeous.

the power would come on and didn't stop except for the slight change in revs when it hit the next gear...

it was unbelievable.. it was just a motor that clicked and everything balanced out right...

that HX Monaro up above had a 350 Chev... but it wasn't a shadow on the Fairlane and the Ford 351c...

but I didn't build the 350.... whoever did, didn't get it right..

have a listen to this charger and you'll get an idea of what this Cleveland sounded and ran like..

mind you.. my clevelend wouldn't match the chargers power..
