I took the bug down to Wollongong on Sunday to a steet machine show and had a great day many thanks to the Wollongong steet Machiners for putting on a great day and for giving me the trophy for the organizers choice. But as for showing my age , when I was a Teenager in the bad old 70s a steet machine was a US made tank with a jacked up rear and the fatest tyres that you could fit under it or if your financers were limited you had a Manaro or Falcon done much the same but now the tipical streeter is a Asian car with the BIGGEST THUMPINGEST DOOF DOOFIEST stereo with every last spot in the cabin full of speakers . oh my god I long for the good old days . but on the up side one thing is still the same and that is the build quality of the cars .
yeh but they haven't figured out yet that the stero adds weight and makes their cars go slower...
if they knew that..then no-one would have them

Doof Doof mobiles should be banded. Most of these guys spend thosands on the crap and forget about the rest of there ride.
I f you get a chance check out the shoalhaven street machine show in April? in Nowra NSW, well worth a look and you always get a thew VW's.
i agree billet.
bring back the monaros and chargers and mercuries and other such enourmous cars! with no sound system! just a hole where the tape deck might have been. and ashtrays! none of these modern cars have a decent ashtray! ashtrays are serious performance modification, these new age kids should realise it. bring back the 660hp straight 6 xb station wagon run by fogarty now that was a legend!
daniel - the rant has ended, sorry to all offended
the only sounds system that you need is a flat four in the back or a thumbing v8 up front.
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs
its not your age.... its the world gone mad..... but thats all there seems to be down the gong anyway.... doof doof
yer nothing like the big old V8's but i disagree i have a stereo in the kombi purely not for that fact to show off and drive around with it blaring so the whole world can listen but purely cause i like to listen to music in good quality so u can hear the bass and here all the treble not just a shitty sound out of a $100 pair of sony speakers!!!
ok so im young but this is how it goes "if its too loud then your too old"
cheers

I 100% agree with this as it was almost my words exactly when I took my son and his mates to Autosalon in Brisbane a few months back. Although I wasn't in Oz in the 70's Iwas into the custom cars scene in the UK and always entered my beetle, I even belonged to the Tri-Chevy club as a few mates had those!

Rhys.... dont mind a good stereo either... but when its in a little jap car with stickers ans a glass kit that looks fucking terrible and all they wanna do is stand next to it and turn it up..... which is all i see down in wollongong.... then that makes everyone sick haha
but your right.... its nice to have a good stereo... i was building up quite a nice one till it was stolem..... as well

no it's not your age, i agree with everything said. Even though i'm addicted to dubs and all i've still got on my "to get" list a Valiant of some sort (Mustangs are too expensive now) whether Charger or what and sort out those ricers. Yeah!
