    There is a brown JD wagon that competes in the motorkhanas.
    It has a supercharged Family II engine and rusted out front guards from all the stones it spits up.
    Goes OK (would not be seen dead in it).
    Lots of minis & mokes including a G13b powered Sports Sedan, a couple of Swift Gtis, a Goggomobil, Porsche 928S, Polo Gti, BMW 540i, a WRX and a few others.

      As an example, I recently got my hands on an old Genrad GDS3500 otherwise known as WDS.



      They were made in 1997 or so, it's a touchscreen tablet PC running Windows 98, with a built-in multiplexer for the OBD and other test cables. This is one of the old Ford, Mazda, Jaguar and Aston Martin dealer diagnostic machines which were used from 1997 to 2007. There's a handful of people who are into keeping these things running. It's so old-tech it's hilarious. But it works and there are some things that it can do, which the newer devices cannot.


      Thanks! It's something I am doing on the side.
      Got ours at work still along with NGS consult 1 + 2 battery is stuffed but handy for the older cars!

          Workmate of similar age as me was looking at cars recently; reckoned there was no fucking way she could ever consider owned something called Kuga.

          70k rusts?
          Soft roaders represent an excellent compromise between the needs of the hardcore 4x4 user and the convenience of a city hatchback. Its clear to see why they have become so popular in todays society.

            Camira wagons have not seen in long time.

            Gti swifts & Hundai Excel chick's car with moo cow interiors used to be everywhere.
            an easy fix is get a mate to drive in front of you at 60 then 80 then 100 and mark in on your speedo with some liquid paper.

                      Was following a first gen Prius a few weeks ago, can't recall seeing one in the last ten years, not that I'd really notice.

                        First gen Prius was a SEVS import. We didn't get the Prius in full volume until gen 2.

                          (Also now a rare sight: anything other than an SUV at school pickup. There was my 86, that Monaro, and SUVs as far as the eye could see...)
                          Hmmm dont know about that. Still see plenty of them.
