In Albany WA ATM
Spotto chrome yellow L34 / rep at a place called Emu Point
Veeery tidy

Saw a neat red LX 8cyl bout 1/2 hr after that -- was only at the grandmothers but her house is beachside so must be part of the cruise route

Happy as the proverbial pig in shisen this arv :)

Would have dearly liked to have had a go over the yellow

That number plate sounds familar. My mechanic has a darkish blue GTR with all XU1 gear on it. From memory his rego plate is very similar to this, if not exactly the same.

there's one parked down the road from me in Gosford, haven't seen it moved in ages, Red in colour, flares etc.

Also saw a blue one with a white roof parked up at long jetty the other day.

And also every now and then see a brownish coloured one cruising around Gosford as well.

Red XU-1 look-a-like in Alexandria ~ 9.30 am yesterday.

It had a large round air filter poking out the centre of the bonnet, number plate ending with 308.

Nice exhaust note.

Spotto a neglected blue torana sitting in my driveway. Somebody obviously didnt tell Sydney it was Summer and has dumped a bucketload of water all over for the past few weeks so I havent been near it. Except that one day where it stopped raining for a bit, I checked all the drain holes and sprayed fish oil wherever I could. Smells bad now but hope it helps.
