Hey all West Aussies...I was looking at the front page of today's paper and did a double take, it appears to be a Soarer in the picture!

What do you think? Will post pics later on.

Hahah I noticed that too, even made a post in the WA section few minutes ago. Hehehe, it's a pic taken from inside the car, from the passenger side showing the passenger airbag, centre console, and the steering wheel, oh and some old guy cleanng the window. It must have been a late model pov pack, no woodgrain. There, picture this (a picture is worth a thousand words, but I just don't have the time)

ok...
Does this have anything to do with Soarers? Or is it about fuel prices or something?

i know it is a soarer, but what i mean is does the article have anything to do with soarers? Was the picture taken from a Soarer on purpose or was it the closest car to the photographer?

Basically the guy in the picture owns an independent fuel outlet and he's justifying charging top price for fuel based on the fact that he offers driveway service (which admittedly is rare) rather than self serve. The article is just the media keeping petrol prices as today's crisis...tomorrow its back to banana prices...or Neale Fong's drivers license.

Petrol here has been 144.9 for the past 2 days. I wish I could buy it for 140.9 :-(

My thoughts EXACTLY! Graham.
I had a spare bottle from my trip to Orstralia, so I thought,.....Why not, Baggy old boy,.........So I did, coz I can!.

Shoop, Shoop, Diddy-whop!, Cumma-Cumma, Wang-Dang!.

How (if I may ask), is the P76 restoration going?.

Or not, as the case may be

I emailed the photog:

"Sorry Luke, I don't share your passion for motor cars, so didn't take that much interest. Don't know, can't help...

Nic"

Doesn't he realise the type of motor car he is photographing! Sheesh!

Obviously not a very good photographer then, is he? Should have put a pic like my profile one in there, not too sure how relevant it'd be to the story, but it's a half decent soarer pic!!!
