    That is fabulous, great spot!

    Nothing like a 351 driving down the road killing mosquitos behind it in a cloud of hydrocarbons.

    I suppose a Tesla could do the same thing, bearing in mind how much smug they can emit.

    I don't hate Teslas. I think the technology is amazing and has probably paved the way for further development into alternative propulsion technology.

    What I dislike is the relentless drive by worldwide governments to mandate changes to legislation regarding how we travel that the data for these decisions does not appear to support. IMO future generations will look back on this period with bewilderment.

    What problem were they trying to fix would probably be a good start, since no one can actually agree on that, even today.

    We've ended up with countries like France banning short haul internal flights (Despite all air travel accounting for 2.3% of global emissions) yet are happy to allow scores of Muslims into their country to bludge off the locals and set things on fire.

    In Australia we have puppets like Mr. Albanese extolling the virtues of electric vehicles, yet no electrical grid in any Australian capital city can support greater than a 15% conversion of the domestic vehicle fleet to electric. Where will the money come from to update this infrastructure? And surely the subsidies for junk such as wind farms has to end?

    Ultimately it's the hard working consumer that pays for the ineptitude of successive governments making decisions 10, 20, 30 years ahead, when they will not even be in power.

    It's a one horse race...................

    The RHD conversion plus the colour change actually is a $100K cost to rectify.

    1966 was the last year for knock-on wheels.

    and did I mention that side pipes are awful to live with - constant and intrusive noise plus fumes in the cabin when you're stopped at traffic lights.

    Zero performance benefit as the standard headers are used.
