Street Machine Australia – September 2019

T

OURING England can be a wasteland for

an Aussie car enthusiast. The roads are filled

with grim, soulless hatchbacks, lacking in

real estate and powered by diesel. As spring

turns to summer, older ‘motors’ gradually

filter onto the busy, moist roads. But MGs,

Healeys and Anglias hardly a street machine make.

On my recent travels in the Motherland with my

kids, I did see a Calsonic-inspired R34 Skyline, a

late-model LHD Dodge Charger R/T, and absolutely

flipped my shit over a German-registered Opel

Kadett C (aka Holden Gemini). But homesickness

is a bitch. Until recently, we Aussies made some

bloody good cars – do the Poms know this?

Well, apparently some do. I hooked up with a crew

of crazy characters who can make the rare claim of

driving an Australian car in darkest Pomgolia.
