Street Sighting ~ Ford F250

F-series truck, yes that's right it's a truck.

I know that being a Ford or a GM guy is a thing, and an American truck down-under is a free pass at a bunch of cliches, but I think I'm okay.

Yes, to someone this is a boring spot and to others it's an great catch, but that's all cars.

To me, spotting this car was a form of entertainment, a reminder we can all be different. A quick look over and it had a mountain bike setup in the cab. 

Someone uses this car, they put their bikes in the back, get in on the wrong side, and drive it. It's a lifestyle choice, and people like me benefit as I examine difference. The alternative, a ford ranger with a mat protecting the tail gate isn't worth taking photos of. This is.

So tunes wise, it would have to be something to get you amped to ride Fox Creek, sound a bit American but be manufactured domestically...

Maybe, Blind, from the original Tomorrow-EP by Silverchair.


Adelaide based. No real consistency just yarns, plain and simple.

ALL JAPAN DAY 2025

This will be long and lack any sort of direction, forgive me. This All Japan Day was far more relaxed for me, as I decided early on I wouldn't be making a video like last year: As a result I picked up fellow enthusiast/blog author Nick at about 10:30ish in the Vortex . Flying in from Canada at 4:00AM Nick somehow still had energy, and as we cruised down south we picked apart the in's & out's of the strange Subaru .   I did feel a touch guilty that it only received a garden hose spray-down & leaf blower dry off. Good enough for Nick's first impressions. Now from about here-on-out you are going to read the writings of someone who allowed his mind to wander and instincts dictate when to take a photo. In other words if you want a comprehensive run down of AJD , this is NOT it. Out the gate I enjoyed seeing not one but two triple-S datto Stanza's. I know the Stanza is a boring boxy sedan to most, but I'm a sucker for sports allure, and the SSS paint schemes...

Car Feature ~ Subaru Vortex

By

Subinats 24' was a wild ride. While strolling the show & shine, making sure to get enough footage, I finally got to meet Shane. Meeting another Vortex owner is a rare occurrence and Shane didn't disappoint. A super genuine dude, we talked wedge, getting the run down on his Wynn's Safari inspired Vortex .  I'll type up a page on that car soon, but during the tour, Shane told me he was not alone. There was another Vortex at Subinats.  At that very moment I noticed a red coupe. It was absolutely hauling ass around the elevated sections of Sydney Motorsport Park. Once Shane's attention had turned to the parade lap I knew it was my job to go track down the red Vortex . Seeing Grant's car in front of me was VERY surreal. When the Vortex came out it received a donk of a motor, the EA82 . Later on in Japan and the US, it would receive revisions including a new motor the ER27 (essentially a six cylinder version of the EA -donk). Anytime you had a problem with the...

SUBARU VORTEX VS AUDI QUATTRO

By

** PREFACE: RECOVERED ARTICLE FROM MOTOR WEEK SEPTEMBER 1985 ** FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE is not only a powerful tractive tool, but a potent marketing weapon. Just ask Subaru and Audi. The Japanese firm has been in the all-wheel-drive business longer than the Germans, and has specialised in small saloons and estates that can scoot through mud and snow with the aid of selectable four-wheel drive. It also sells these vehicles in two-wheel-drive form, and in the States the importers have netted a sizeable portion of the import market with these sturdy but unexciting cars. Around 80 per cent of Subaru's production crosses the Pacific to America. With the aid of four-wheel-drive, Subaru has created a profitable business in a market niche that has been left unsullied until recently. Now that Toyota and others have entered the arena, it is looking further afield. The answer has been provided by Audi, which entered the four-wheel-drive field with the epoch-making Quattro in 1980, five years after S...
