Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0

jdm import car scene is slowly ending in my opinion. Seeing as majority are turbo and restricted from P-platers.

There is a move towards VW's/86's/euro cars which seem to be all the rage now amongst P-platers.

I'm okay with this - I was around the scene for that peak and ownership wise I got in on the tail end of the peak to enjoy at least a few years of it before big meets died off and before drift and stance culture faggotry came in.

There's a silver lining in it now; I get to enjoy rarity as opposed to a scene; people see my car and see something they don't get to see often or they assume I stole it and will kill a baby in a pram.

Look how popular VLs were in the day, they were everywhere and I didn't give them second looks, but now I study their condition if I see one on the road. Hoping the same happens for well kept Skylines, GTRs etc once they're all but written off. Who knows, some wealthy CEO might want to one day relive his youth and splash out on a car you can't buy easily anymore, not unlike the Aussie muscle cars from the 70s.

There were a million VW Golf's though.

I saw them all drive passed Southland on the way there.

DSG farts and BOV's everywhere. I was embarrassed for them.

black maloo?

took over 5 hours today to:

pick-up trailer in heidelberg

drive home, load up car on trailer

drop off car at workshop

drive to heidelberg and drop off trailer.

Traffic was stuffed on the eastern, roadworks everywhere around doncaster and then boozebuses blocking off lanes on maroondah hwy.

lesson learnt: just pay $100 for a tow truck.

[Borci88]

Probably spent like $40 on fuel anyway Leroy, $99 bucks for a tow with insurance much better value!
