EK Daily Driver Melbourne

Post by fbtim »

The lady who owns this car gets pestered daily to sell it. Cannot tell you this location but it is a genuine daily driver. I've seen this car for years and decided today to post these.

That is beautiful ... and very rare to be all one colour. Appears to be Glade Green!

Thank Tim,

Check out the permanent rubber drip trays complete with kitty litter. Real cool to se a car park full of late models and this amongst them.

That's the sort of history I love with a car!

Thanks so much guys.

Hopefully some one can snap a pic with her standing with her car.

Spook her? Ya spooking me. That's why it's taken me a while to post the pics. She is not interested in selling or talking about the car, she loves to drive it and intends to for many more years. Great photo, that's definitely the same car I know and the same driver.

I only see this lady every few years, going south on William St. - never standing still.

She's like other middle aged ladies I see driving their classic daily drivers- One with a ratty black 48/215 and another with a plain aussie 56 dodge. Women are often fiercely loyal to their old cars

Think about it out guys, I have been seeing her since the mid 80's. Do you think she really needs any help from a club?
I'd say she knows all about car clubs and is doing nicely without any club involvement.
Its not unusual for people to not want to join a club.

I'd say she has a gargae that knows the car well and she has been relying on them for the car's servicing, and they're doing a good job as the car is still on the road..
Leave her be, I say....

The way I'm interpreting it is it sounds like most who stop her are only interested in trying to buy the car. I'm with the others leave her be.
