  1. Born in 60s and 70s 80s 90s continued on from 60s Stella music rock bands fast cars and bike's Burnouts in Aussie's blood DNA if it had power we thrashed it until broken The little noisey car at start doing donuts was rotary engine in a mazda cappella The little honda was probably one of their best cars recyclable as F#ck Just not a lot of power and front wheel drive females and business man cars But go for ever and cheap to run The one doing the long brake job as we call it and not impressive by Aussie standards was a ford caprie v6 pommy / english cars Most of them didn't know what they where doing those land yacht's had big engines trans diffs The fords had 302 or 351 clevelands FMX auto and 9 inch diffs but stock used borg warner diffs peg leggers they shouldn't been able to blow the tyres off the car Most of the holdens 253 or 308 rarer chevy 307 or 350 with Aussie 4 speed that broke regularly auto trimatic or turbo 400 transmission with peg leg diff in Aussie lingo means open wheeler and only one wheels drive forward and spins other only in reverse A nice collection of different GTS monaro s various year two doors and 4 doors Then Torana both GTR XU1 which run holden red triple su carbs Aussie 4 speed small and light for power where 186 bored to 192 cubic inch from factory with cam modifications back then people put V8 but effected handling and speed due to wieght of engine The straight 6 as factory was faster and more stable to race Then the SLR 5000 V8 308 Aussie 4 speed or auto was tri matic you always knew when buying second hand if was thrash car Because they'd have a cut down modifications ford 9 inch diff put in them as rarely broke doing burn outs Sad they didn't have any chryslers there as would've been plenty over their but where mum pop cars normally wog families use to tow heavey wieght and wog back then was italian and greek which most ran business market gardens fish & chip shops pizza bars So chrysler where mainly bought by them for work horses Wog back then wasnt offensive as its made out to be today and many have embarrassed it use it to identify themselves Many comedy shows been on here with them calling themselves that and paying out their heritage here You seen the cop one not long ago All the sports packs back then weren't cheap you Torana monaro always exspensive but now pulling 3 figures Same with the fords the GT and GS weren't cheap but GT pulls huge ammounts Stock models or mid luxury V8 daily drivers as we called them where cheap as got older and ended up the most modifications That era we where more free and naive in political areana believe governments and media The freedom's we had sun up kicked out house and told don't want to see you until streetlights come on But you where safe as everyone knew everyone and had no problem chastising you if stepped out of line and your parents herd all about it then the belt came out and grounding worked Because beside the flogging with the belt you got flogged with chores on top either home or if you did anything to someone else property so you knew the boundaries of what was expected of you in home and society your name ment everything Now most couldn't careless about their name being associated with something bad in society 😔 they say we in western societies live in a progressive society but all i see is a regressive societies now days This has been the biggest change We've thrown out the goid stuff from history and inherited a lot more bad things instead of taking the best of old and new Then that would be truly progressive societies the disapline and accountability of history with todays modern technologies and abundance we have today Thats my take on the difference of era's as ive lived one and living the other and was way better back then hands down Hard work no hand out and your wasn't reliant on anyone not even the government's Their job was to run amenities power water housing roads hospitals security for the country Thats basically it never medal in family lives as they do now It seems they do everything but those things now and we pay so many more times in taxation now Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
