white180sx Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi Guys, Dont know if there is another topic but i was looking at fullboost and looking through the old autosalon pics from 2002-04 onwards etc and was wondering where all these older/recent cars have ended up as you dont really see them around anymore. Im talking about all the airbrushed and high performance cars which used to go to all the autosalon shows. If anyone has pics of the cars now or you were/are an owner, would like to know where all these cars have ended up.

white180sx Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 I wasnt looking for any car in particular. Just curiosity more than anything to see if these cars are still around and in the same condition or if they have been trashed or changed etc etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278230-where-are-they-now/#findComment-4702874 Share on other sites More sharing options...

white180sx Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 always wondered what happened to those massive ricebuckets with predator kits and lancers with cyborg kits. tax man probably repo'd em. haha yeah not so much the lancers. But what happened to all those rexies, GTR's, S2000's etc. They were mainly from NSW. All the ones which were so modified that they wouldnt have been driven on the streets.

Johnny Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Once they realised that pink paint dosent get girls and most people think of them as tools driving a 'ruined' car im sure they took them to an isolated spot, set fire to it and claimed the insurance.

lineskee 33 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Whatever happened to Autosalon? I dont remember there being the Gold coast one this year. I seemed to think it has been going downhill as each year goes by.

DRD-00F Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yeah, it's a bit of a mystery. I normally do the SAU:NSW entry and I can't contact them... Talks behind the scenes at the moment have been that there MAY be ONE show in NSW this year and that's it... I think the magazine is still going ok though, just the show series has stopped.

Bakes Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I think because our display was so good at Sydney last year, they knew it couldnt be topped and called off the show forever. lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278230-where-are-they-now/#findComment-4707658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozodos Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 People probably got sick of pouring shitloads of money into cars which weren't of any practical use at all, and which you wouldn't dare drive on the street for fear of stone chips or getting one of your 20 LCD tvs dirty.

They stopped being cars long ago - the full on show cars would have lost roadworthiness long ago, and if you don't drive it for fear of damaging your 11ty billion watt stereo, or cracking bodywork etc, you don't have a car. Autosalon was never a car show, it was an art exhibition. Art serves no useful purpose, save for its own aesthetics. A car that cannot be driven serves no useful purpose other than aesthetics.

DRD-00F Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 You obviously weren't there when Gas cracked 1000rwkw out of the supra then... RH9 was close behind at 960awkw or something...
