V-eight compressed air - at least that's how I read it.

Fun fact; before she bought her Toyota my girlfriend drove her Nan's Kompressor. Solid car. 

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

The first BYD was a Holden??

Let's start with a very simple concept. The image below is a VN Commodore wagon, made in my backyard ( Aussie land ). Simple enough. Now here's where it gets a little more interesting; We actually sold these to China ( it gets better ). However, that's been covered before; UNIQUE CARS So instead I wanted to bring this to your attention... Yep, the first BYD was in fact a VN Commo wags . Wikipedia : BYD began exploring hybrid and electric vehicles as early as 1997, before acquiring Xi'an Qinchuan Automobile. In that year, Wang Chuanfu, as part of his research into electric vehicles, purchased a BJ6490D, an electric car made by Beijing Second Auto Works that was built off an imported knock-down kit of the Holden Commodore VN station wagon. The BJ6490D was powered by golf cart batteries, with a range of about 100 km (62 mi) and a top speed of 92 km/h (57 mph). Later, BYD acquired a second BJ6490D, which was subsequently converted into a hybrid vehicle.

While the nats is just around the corner here's a Low Standards fix to close out 2025. Keen viewers may have seen Jay post about acquiring a pair of Simmons racing wheels earlier this year. And because the Low Standards HQ is cool relics, birthdays and Aussie brand-centric it's a good time to go a littler deeper. Jay remarked the pair had spent significant time in a swamp. So while that means they've developed a bita patina, I'd say they are about on brand for Low Standards . "Yeah, genuine Simmons mags." "Chuck em on a bonfire and get hours of white flames, haha." "You know people used to do that with VW cylinder heads." The barrels are steel, the centres are magnesium - which is where the mag wheels notion originates.  And the tyres, Dunlop Racing - 265/535-13 'FOR RACING PURPOSE ONLY' Older headz than me will also remember when Dunlop manufactured Volley's (amongst other products) . But for an additional eleven bucks...

I was takin a poo, and having a squiz at Facebook marketplace. A rare occurrence of successful multi-tasking that is both unhygienic and likely to cause some sort of cancer down the line. Interrupted, a mate texted me asking how my Saturday was shaping up. As I returned to Facebook, the homepage served up something attention grabbing. I was getting an idea of what my Sat might look like. So I picked up Sam, without really explaining what a Magna was, mostly because if he knew he wouldn't have come. And then using that train of thought, I forced Ziggy to come and ensure someone would counter my upbeat energy. All-in-all it was great fun and we had a killa time. Initially I could feel Sam's distress as we parked in a dirt carpark comprised of beat up Commodores , Magna's and 3eighties . I had to explain this was not the display. And so heading inside the former Tonsley assembly plant our excitement picked up massively. Now I'll do my standard little preface - there wer...
