Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

[Smegger]

One of my fondest memories of cars during childhood was going to country footy and parking around the oval. Play junior colts then stay the rest of the day watching senior colts, B grade and the mighty A graders. It was footy's version of the drive-ins but remember, park behind goals at your own risk. Eskies, picnic baskets, thermos and we ALWAYS had a footy in the boot for kick to kick!

Here is a thread to post anything about our cars, bikes, etc. Past, present and future (wish list).

Thought i'd start it off with a pic i posted before of Aph's car.

if teague doesn't get the main coaching role, what are people's thoughts on him staying on as an assistant?

pedestrian shredders?

 

[Smegger]

Yep, just like the old bonnet emblems.

my old citroen c4 was apparently one of the safer cars to be hit by, the headlights popped out sideways, the wipers were of a soft rubber with no metal brackets and the hood was not much tougher than a few sheets of alfoil - kids, if you must be run down as a pedestrian, make it a citroen c4 - your folks will love you for it!
