Our Cars (dream or actual)

Family photo. My wife drives the newer one, of course. I work in construction, so I drive the older one. We both love Lexus. She drove another 2001 RX300 for 15 years before we had to let it go. Then we got the gold 2002 RX300 from a relative and the black 2010 RX450h used a couple years ago. The gold RX is at nearly 250,000 miles. It will hit it this year!

@Graeme looking back at old pictures, it's actually closer to tooleybuc. I did take a lot of back roads before joining the Hume to syd

@Bridger dream car is still a W1 HSV GTS

My neighbour restored a HK when I was growing up. It was louder than Thor's hammer.

@Brian and @Bridger modern utes are far less exciting. I did quite like the Kia Tasman that I saw last weekend, which had Tonka Toy meets Judge Dredd vibes, but I wish that they'd done something clever with the power train, as the Hyundai group has some very good EVs. (I was mainly interested in the EV3 lurking in the background.)
The BYD Shark 6 is doing the clever powertrain thing. A friend up here owns one and rates it, though he missed out on the orange paint.
But if you want to melt the icecaps and make a lot of noise, there's no substitute for an old TVR. I spotted this Griffith 500 in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago, I haven't seen one for years. Only a handful made the pilgrimage to Australia from Blackpool.
@louisbosco last time I came back from Adelaide, I took the B12 from Tailem Bend through to Piangil, before turning off to head southeast through Swan Hill, Kerang, Echuca, and Shepparton to get back to Benalla. If I'd followed it a bit further, I would have got to Tooleybuc. It was a nice road: Fast and fairly quiet. Much better than the A8 between Melbourne and Adelaide.
