The 80s was in my 20s and I was invincible just like my 308 slr5000 and my 350 Monaro . What an awesome time to be a young fella. Miss those golden years
One of the best old skool vhs rips of burnouts and car culture i have seen thank you so much for your posting this video and whomever filmed it is a legend thanks once again, how i miss the 80's-90's car scene
There’s 2.3 million more people here now . I’m not against immigration but tax hungry governments are bringing in too many! The quality of life we once had is a thing of the past
Me and my son watched this tonight. A lot of fun and a great archive of some fantastic machines. We were trying to see if we could see rego plates to check on VicRego check for survivor cars. Awesome
16 years before the video 'well mate you'd be now around 71 years old n wouldnt even b around more than likely to have been writing this comment ya goose #pmsl
Hes right. Hahaha, the Cop shops not far either from there. Even had Stella, Bella, Daniella and Carmela on the park bench with there teased out hairs straight out of an eighties mtv clip. Then they changed the 60kmh in built up areas to 50km an hour where it still stands.
My old man owned that XB GT at the start, I've got heaps of photos of it, he owned it in the mid 90's, he sold it in 96 not long after i was born, kicks himself every day for selling it.
My dad had a VK like that red one, it had the same wheels it was an SS, but it was all white, white Simmons, white paint job, it was so nice, 5 speed manual, 308 black motor
Remember getting caught doing a doughnut in mums stock standard HJ 202 in Bouverie St- Court appearance and careless driving….fine no loss of license 😂

Born in 1960 and raised in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne and may l say everything was so different. What has happened to our culture and way of life and being True Blue…….Far out l think l saw one of those Volvos. 🇦🇺👍
The days when just a few hundred dollars got you a nice car. I still think my Holden Sandman - The iconic 70s panel vans were hot. My mate loved his Ford Escort Panel Vans. Australia went down the toilet with the Americans in the 1970s. Before that, it went down the toilet with Britain. Let's just hope China going to be nice.
The good old days where you could do a huge burnout, and it was only $50 and 0 points for undue noise. lol Do it now and the police will burn your car and send you to jail for life. lol

The 1980s when 200hp was menacing fast. The best time to be a kid.
Thank you so much for posting this time capsule! Magnificent! The world was a better place back then...
This content needs to be in an Australian museum.
When Australia was at its peak.

Yeh I bet you did. Not
This is gold , should be preserved in the wog archives
Lucky Aussies made cars for them to drive! They would have looked even funnier on their fathers donkeys from the old country!!! 😂😂😂
@@billybunter3753Kind of... Wogs themselves were working in the factories too, so I guess they also made cars for themselves too?
@@MartinJones123 Mate, it's old school banter. I love the guys! 😂
@@billybunter3753 Ok
Not even in wog archives. Every mans archives. What ever men are left.

Back in the day when men were men ,women were women and real cars were made.
Australians have lost so much freedom since then.
True that the 70-80-90's best eva years
There’s 2.3 million more people here now . I’m not against immigration but tax hungry governments are bringing in too many! The quality of life we once had is a thing of the past
what about safety of people it's public road it might be fun but do it in safe place
@@rodneydrew9117 not talking about doing burnouts bird brain.
lol bird brain
Bloody good video. Bought back lots of memories. Those were the days.
Thanks dude for all those vhs videos, you would be late 50s years old same as me.
Loved every second of it
Me and my son watched this tonight. A lot of fun and a great archive of some fantastic machines. We were trying to see if we could see rego plates to check on VicRego check for survivor cars. Awesome
How’d you go? Any of them still kicking around?

Damn man this gonna make me cry I just wanna be reborn 16 years before this vid so prime age at a perfect time for a car head

Australia was and still is the best country in the world
Great video
Before Victoria became the nanny capital of Australia
ohhhhhh cry a river
Nanny capital of the world 😂
Thanks to all the 🐑🐑
Amazing times & people. Thank you for sharing this footage. Friday & Saturday nights were something to look forward to, some tough cars.
It really was the social event before Australia lost its freedom.
1980's was the best time in the history of the world!
I am so proud to be Australian.
Rotary's went like a cut snake,had some great fun in the 70s,thanks for bringing back awesome times
Great footage. What the cops would have called evidence back then.
..back when a torana slr was $4k not $80/90k
I'm seeing 70s classics going for $20k, and they have rust holes on the lower body... especially behind the wheel wells.
Sold my LH factory 253 4 speed in 1998 for $4000, immaculate condition. Took ages to sell.
Saw it advertised recently for 60 grand.
The OG mister drifter in the rotary
Amazing footage!
Great memories. Thanks for the upload.
Best days of our lives
little did they know their cars would be worth more than what they bought them for 40 years later
I never thought I'd see a 1 hour fucking video of my street on youtube 😂
When Australia was a cool and hip place
The Camira another Aussie classic 😂
This sounds more like 1989. I can tell by the songs that I remember. Ah, the good old days👍
No way 89 id say 86-7 no vn's
@@cammos He's correct - Pump up the Jam came out in 1989, plus there is a white VN 4 cars in front of them on the freeway at 54:44
I don't know what is better the time capsule video, or special comments from Mario!
That little red rotary is a death trap! (in the best possible way, of course haha!)
That's what I was driving back then - but that isn't me in the video.
Bring back the 80s any day bc once the 2000s hit everything went to the s house ...!

It's Mullets Alive. What a flashback. At that time we were all down the road in Fitzroy at the Royal Derby sporting Rockabilly haircuts .
Where did you get this video / history of the video?
They were my days !!
Carlton looking peaceful and quiet on a sunday arvo - hardly any cars, any people, lots of empty parking spots.....but now?
You would not be able to get a spot.
what a welcome not to hear any generic pops you get now days.
Torana with a chevy badge thats a first
As you you can see here we have….. love it killa

ahh the days when cars were simple, strong and solid.
When cars where built like tanks and petrol wasn’t an issue
My dad had a VK like that red one, it had the same wheels it was an SS, but it was all white, white Simmons, white paint job, it was so nice, 5 speed manual, 308 black motor
My dad did too first thing i thought when i saw it, was marenello red vk on 16x7 momo stars and was a 134 pack wished he kept it haha
The guy that did a stand still in reverse in the xd, then dumped drive... the way that diff jolted had me laughing
Back before 90s 2000s kids grew balls & invented the aggressive tip in 😂
i was working in the work site in the background at the time
Hey Jonno, you mind if I use some of this footage for a music clip? No faces, just car fun!
Back then cars were so much better
Unfortunately no
Each one of those cars be worth a bit now
Who remembers what used to happen when the coppers turned up?
6:37 🎵 and alllllll my friends are getting Mazdas 🎵
Of course. Zoren in the ESP not surprised there 😂
