The Chrysler Ghia Plainsman, a wagon with a lot of travelling in it's history

built in Italy, then used for promotional and design research, and when the term limits for not paying taxes (import duties) arrived, it was shipped to Cuba. There it was owned by a bank president, who sold it to a Chrysler export manager, who fled Cuba when Castro seized the govt, and moved to Australia. When he retired, and moved back to the USA it came with him. Italy, America, Cuba, Australia... few cars have ever traveled as much unless they were being used to travel across continents is my guess.

Porsche isn't the only company with options that cost 4x the cost of the car, no surprise, Mini is another

The British brand has launched its latest hatch in Australia, and the entry-level two-door model has an optional extras list that can double its price.

Customers who order “one with the lot” will be staring down the barrel of a bill for $25,640 in options on top of the $26,650 for the price of their car.

2 Sports automatic transmission with paddle shifters (Cooper S): $2650

coolest car I found at the Knotts Berry Farm, was this Falcon transformed into a Super Roo

I talked to the owner for a couple minutes, and he's a great guy... he relayed that as a kid he'd lived in Australia for about 9 years, and fell in love with the cars there.

So much so, that he took about 4 years to add the right parts to an American Ford Falcon to get exactly the right mix of Australian and American parts to get the car the way he wants it.

it took months to get the trail completed, and it's a XW Gt front end, and an XY tail. It's not the same year as the front. Nor is it a 4 door. I like this better.

Sometimes cops are just being rotten, and ruin your day. Sometimes they find someone more rotten, and get that bozo off the street to ensure they keep the title

This was how a drugged, uninsured, revoked drivers licensed, just hit and ran, with two flat tires.. bozo was driving when the cops caught him. Oh, yeah, and he was out on bail at the time.

Australia is trying to get guys to stop showing off... I doubt that pissing off Aussie guys is going to get them to soft pedal
