Very funny Vic

It is a beautiful clear shot. Most punters pics from back in the day are blurry with hardly any colour.

And it's sporting 1972 model clear front indicator lenses.

Seen some car on the way home from work.

That's great Victor, wish I saw some on the way home

Spotto my own car, my son took it out for the first time, 383ci chev in the wet weather he had a ball. He recons there is a lot to be said in having traction control in late model cars.

A few years ago at the muscle car master's I spoke to the guy who maintains the ex Alan Grice xu-1 who told me that the 72 race car had crashed and holden wasn't going to have the new xu1's finished in time so they were able to get just the shell and put all the parts from the damaged 72 car onto the new 73 shell. It's got the roebuck interior and other 72 model items also.

Thanks for the run down James. I've often thought that of all the XU1's that raced in the 1973 Hardie Ferodo 1000 not many of them, if any, would have been from the final batch.

A pair of XU1s with consecutive numbered club plates on North road in Clayton yesterday lunchtime. One was green, the other looked a bit like orchid metallic. Had a mature looking guy and gal driving. Husband and wife team?

Spotto a red lx hatch in belgrave yesterday and a flared green lh/lx in lilydale

Just puting this out there as nobody seems to do it, but if it's not your car in the photo, and in most cases you don't even know the owner, wouldn't it be common courtesy to obscure the number plate?

 

I mean if you display your car at a show, you expect that people are gonna take photos and you can choose to remove or cover your number plates if you want, but you don't have that choice if driving on the road.

 

I know I wouldn't be all that happy if it was my car, it's not that hard to get registration details after all.

[Bigfella237]

I was thinking of slightly less legal methods myself...

 

A lot of people have access to full registration details, anyone who works for a registration authority, police, waterways, fisheries, EPA, councils, insurance companies (and the list goes on) or any number of their 'friends' that they might do a favour for, can run a check and get all the info on the car, the owner, the garaging address and how many sheets of toilet paper they use a day.

It's already in the public domain if you are driving it.
I think it's different if its a photo taken in someone's home or at a business and they probably should be obscured unless you have permission otherwise.
