Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

[sfcpiet]

My friend, Paul, did the research.
Here's the backstory: https://www.supercars.net/blog/1949-riley-2-5-walter-kong-saloon/

The coachbuilders correct name is "Köng". Lacking an "ö" on your keyboard, "oe" can be used instead. Both are correct, depending on where in the german-speaking area of Europe you are.

Same applies to "ä" and "ü".

Umlauts aren't the only thing we lost when we were dragged out of the EU, Piet.

Another nice Honda

NSX, the better Ferrari?

A couple of TVRs in the background, nice.

My mates' Tuscan, I recently did a little "wrap" to disguise some minor scratches... repairing the custom paint job is still being haggled about with the insurer.

Not something you see every day, Cheers mate.

A Laverda owning kangaroo (or is it a wallaby) now that is something different.

 

[Tippie]

Not the natural environment for either beast. The wheeled one soon to re-awaken.

This is exactly what I pictured Australia to be before I got here! Sitting by the fire with your bike and kangaroo.

We arrived in Wangaratta for the weekend of the Monaro Nationals. The first to catch my eye were these on the road into town. I also saw this nice miniature El Camino too!

yeh well everything is super sized in the US….. that’s an EJ Holden Ute

Everybody needs a Ute for a while, the second car I owned after an EK Station Wagon was a 1973 ex-Water Board HQ Red Motor I bought from a Government Auction. Had it for 9 years till it rusted to bits and ended its life with its body at Sims Metals being crushed for scrap. Towards the end of its life, it ran a 192 full XU1 Tarana race motor and M21 Munsi 4-speed drive line. Just the thing to cart Dirt bikes around in. Surprise surprise it was Orange.

I was gonna say something ab out year model utes using tail lights from the previous year and that it was indeed an EH ... but chickened out.
