Really? Hopefully they're making it into a cheesy bogan turbo edition, with a panther stripe.

 

It broke my heart when it left me. It was either that, or part it out and take it off the road. Which I wasn't prepared to do.

There's a guy on here called MIRAGE-MAN, and the reason his car has these funny-coloured doors.......

.....is because his original doors were in good condition. He took them off to save them and put crappy ones on instead.

Yup, those good doors went onto my other Mirage. I've sold the multicolored Mirage. It's being restored. Has just had a full body respray.

the dude s probably thinking wtf

Barry has owned that thing since it was near new. Only drives it upto Foodtown.

Got stuck behind him one day, with the wonderful smell of cigar smoke wofting out the window.

Crap, I should have renewed the rego and had it expire, say this month. It turned 40 years old in August.

I paid it right up until December 2021, I brought that 3 extra months at the old price. Tight ass Mirage-Man.

Don't forget fellas, if your car rego expired way before lockdown, go and get it now. Before you get your WOF, which you cannot usually do. 

Just did it with the old Mirage, forgot to put it on hold lol.

Spotted in WHK. Bloody good car, the Proton Saga. Certainly has more power than its Mitsubishi counterpart, the Mirage.

And then this, a Laser Sport about 2 minutes apart.

Spotted this.

Featuring my Stellar. You can see where the changeover from black to white license plates happened. Corolla is MP and Stellar is NP.

White started at NA.

They were. But they came straight from Malaysia.

That's a British Proton. Awesome.

Haven't taken any images lately actually. Here is a rather dark pic I took especially for the thread tonight. The only big thing I had to get done for the WOF were both front ball joints.

Another yearly update on the old girl. I've had her out of storage since the 28TH December. And since then, she has pretty much been my daily driver. I've done nearly 1200KM's in her. With a big 700KM trip of the motorway system from West AK to Westgate then upto Albany, back down to Manukau, where I joined the motorway upto Puhoi. Visited my mate in Omaha. Then drove to Hamilton and down to Matamata. Being it's first road trip in my ownership in nearly 4 years, she did extremely well.
