Not many kit cars around here...
...in Sydney, Australia, that is!
All I've seen this week is 1 Cobra replica.
I know it's tough to build one here, but I expected to see a few more. Not that many 2-seater sports cars either - a few Porsches, 1 or 2 MX5s,
that's all.
Still, 2 weeks to go!

When I worked 'over there' a decade (or so) ago, there were still plenty of old Ford Falcons and Holdens chugging around (I had a old Land
Rover with a 6 cylinder Holden in it, but I digress)....
Has it all gone silver/grey euroblob mundaneness - or are there still some old dinosaurs chugging around in the sunshine?

I was there about a decade ago as well. I had a 4l straight 6 Falcon and a 5l V8 Holden at various times. There was an Elise in my apartment block,
a few body kitted 4 pot SE Asia cars, but it really all was "Are you a Holden man or a Ford man?"

Kit Cars are essentially a British phenomenon. The only ones you see here are Cobras.

I must admit that I've taken a fancy to the nicely finished V8 Utes I've seen everywhere. Very chavy, but smart!
Utes = smallish 2-seater pick-ups. Bit like a Ford P100 on steroids!
