Just dropped into the Cairns Swap Meet. They were encouraging all european and british cars to attend. Spotted a couple of sh*t boxes that i havnt seen in Cairns b4?

Must be interesting tryin to push the accelerator down when there is a speaker in the way?
Image
This is some late model thing?

Ive seen this 1 b4, its a genuine S. (or so i thought? No S badge on the bonnet....Maybe just a cooper?) Looks ok in pics, but is a bit rough in real life, some old boy owns it.

Wasnt fussed on takin my car there, is out in the weather, is way to crammped and the general public dont seem to care if they push there pram into ur door or if there kids run there sticky ice cream covered hands all over ya car..... Was a lot of rust buckets there..... so wasnt going to risk catching any rust off any of the other cars!!! That stuff is very contageous.....

So if they haven't wasted $40K on it then it's an inferior shitbox?

Perhaps ur right? I noticed that to in the pic. Last time i saw this thing was like 6yrs ago. It goes out less then my car!!! Maybe it is just a cooper. Honestly i just walked past it and took a photo. Didnt spend any time looking at it much at all......

Apparenty the white 1 is from Innisfail, Stil have no clue on the yellow 1. Do u know anything bout the red 1 steve? Is it Owain Frouds? Is it a Cooper or S?

I spose u were racing again???

To be honest i didnt really look at any of the stuff. I glanced at it, but i think a lot of people were just on there way to the dump n they decided to call in there 1st?

Hows that black thing going? Those Dunlop D01J's that i got are a really good tyre!!!!! Much more noticeable traction then the Yokys.
