Always thought the 'bug-eye' Sprite was a weird little thing. Probably drove much like the MG Midget. Got forbid you should ever hit a bump in the middle of a curve.....
I had 2 VW Fastbacks the same colour - Savannah Beige. I"m in Melbourne. It must have been registered a long time ago because no way would it pass rego requirements these days.
First registered in 1968 when new. If it was Ok then it's OK now. But you're right if you mean a new car built like this wouldn't pass current safety testing.
Thanks buddy - had been trying to get a copy of this from Ben Jones for years. How did song Lies not make it onto the actual album - has been one of my favourite songs for 25 years - I’m clinically deaf tho gah ever since a Blowhard boat cruise in 93 👍
tom callaghan Even the current owner restored this Japanese classic. Most parts for this model are still manufacturing in Japan. Even in Chile we've have some of those. Even one 1981 model are still runnin' with a Diesel engine. Very interesting. The Bongo and their OEM versions are still in production?
G'day John. merry xmas mate. howd you find me through this boring video? :) ha ha! yeah unity still exists downunder. its basically me (1973 oldsmobile custom cruiser station wagon) and brad (1970 Holden station wagon). yes, we are both getting older and need vehicles for the kids! ;) We have a couple other guys that cruise with us too. sam (70 fairlane) and david (54 Plymouth). Hopefully things will expand in time. we don't mind keeping it small though. much less drama. we don't do facebook either ;) hope you and your family have a good new year up in the cold nether regions of the world! :)
Tin,nice to hear that,over here UNITY is expanding in Holland. Unity UK is still small,just started UNITY Italy. We even got chapter Belgium. Try to have you a facebookpage. In that way,we can keep in touch with you guys downunder. Do you have whatsapp on your gsm? Otherwise ,we could have contact by mobilephone. You can start a groupapp with it.
