That was true of Ford and Holden. Mitsubishi Australia actually designed the Magna- the Japanese parent company had misgivings about building such a large FWD platform, but they are now the norm. It makes the "Japcrap" garbage spewed by Folden fanboys hilarious as all their beloved "Aussie" cars are rebadged imports. Mitsubishi also used to assemble engines for these cars in Australia (and export drivetrains to other assemply lines worldwide).
Got my license in one of those. I'll always have a soft spot for them. As much as people may like to poke fun at Magnas, even as a Holden man I think we should be just as proud of them as any Holden or Ford. Now we have no car industry and most of the new cars sold here are garbage. A shame.
Gotta love all the Bogans working in that place, bahahaha it's like watching something garn puts up. Yeh mate working at mitsushitty really is great mate. Hahahaha
Never were that good of a vehicle. Nothing that was made in Australia was. Japanese built vehicles were and are far superior to anything we ever did or could build.
@@xr6ladBill Clinton had just made his "We must engage with China" speech. We did not comprehend the destruction of our manufacturing jobs that was about to happen. USSR had just collapsed 5 years prior, the western globalist no longer needed to have strong manufacturing, to present an image of a successful system. (1994, built my first home and land $83k). It's taken a lot of corporate lobbying career politicians to get to this train wreck of a society. eg....Can you describe a woman ?
That's just the Australian package mate, anything we touched in the auto sector turned to shit, that's why everyone pulled out. Hopeless workers, processes and greedy unions that's the truth.
@@emilyking329 In fact, the majority sales were Astron 2.6 powered and sure did have timing chains from its birth at Chryslers Lonsdale plant in 1979 until the last ones made in 1998. Mitsubishi Australia at least persisted and made chain driven cam and balance shaft engines for almost 20 long years...
Not anymore, Mitsubishi closed 2008, the rest waited until the 2nd half of the following decade before closing down and leaving Australia to imports only.
this must be from when I first discovered them ... saw them at Amoeba Records in Hollywood and then the next night at a small club and this was their stage setup
What do u mean Franco lays on the “migrant act”? He was born in Italy, it is not an act. And he had always spoken with an Italian accent, he’s not faking anything.
@maxrockatanksyOG yep all holden and ford needed to do was fit their v8s to the twin cab utes that the market wanted and toyota already sells a v8 hilux chastised car in USA so they would of done same and Nissan has a v8 also they could fit to navaras and actually made them reliable for once..lol... and Mitsubishi acting like they are on meth as usual would of done a ralliart twin turbo v6
I believe Airbus has addressed the whistling FOPP sound in the more recent builds of the A32X series. But this video really captures the sound in quite vivid detail!
There are no words to express my gratitude to this wise soul. After a few years of so many deaths including my dear dear mom’s, you have been able to put so many of my thoughts and feelings into words. Thank you. Huge huge hug🐾😽
Sigmas and Magnas wernt much good the auto gearboxes were breaking down under warranty the sigmas with their rattling timing chain woes re early Mitsubishi galants and la lb lancers were good cars! the saturn engine was very reliable and manufactured well they had no problems re mitsubishi cordias their engines wore out quick cylinder bore woes,Ford and Holden had their problems too cracked manifolds,broken rocker studs on the falcons weak floor pans on vb commodores I worked on them all really Australian motorist not getting good value for money spent on new cars back then maybe thats why new cars wernt selling compared to overseas vehicles.
Interesting. I've owned 3 Magnas- all had their original, unopened auto gearboxes. Funny, timing chains do rattle at 200+k kms....when they are due for replacement.
Woow mitsubishi got its assembly plant in australia , opel calais oso assembl here , during old day vauhall , holden brand oso assemble too, australia is a car assembly in east asia country other than japan , korea , indonesia and malaysia since 1983, good info for the youngsters !
And all the workers, you can see why all our aussies cars were shit, no one takes pride, no one cares, just do this job shit, get paid, fuck off home and do it again. The complete opposite of say Japan were all their workers say at Hinojosa or Toyota are so proud to work there and take pride in their jobs and output.
Absolutely amazing woman. She comes from a long line of amazing women, what a fantastic family tree. A thousand congratulations on your success' Brooke, looking forward to more from your incredible brain and soul.
34:00 The guy who now lives at Orielton...no longer under the flight path...basically tells us we are a bunch of whingers and he is happy now...funny..he is the son of the deaf guy.
"My names Graham Millar I am from Murdunna, the planes can come and fly over my place as much as they like" 10:40 There's one in every bunch, especially those who have used power tools all their life without hearing protection and can't hear how loud they speak.... Or those who proclaim that somehow planes flying over pristine serenity are good for business...father and son sitting next to the mayor of Sorell.
