i guess most of the cars they made here were more funtional as well as performance inclined, besides, most of the young uns settled for 2 door holden gemini's n stuff.

Lol nice pics, esp the one with the stubby (bottle of beer) on the stump.

....i coulda sworn that importing aussie cars would be odd, since youd be driving from the passenger side

When i was driving around in some parts of Europe I was trippen out thinkin every single car was goin to crash into me... always turned into oncoming traffic at intersections coz I'm so used to driving on the left of the road in a RHD.

Chris, what kind of car is that in your first pic?

It's a Holden. I believe it's a Holden Manaro, circa mid 70's.
