Re: Other Body Builders Discussion / Observations
It hasn't been out for quite a while, and was bought new by the Adelaide City Council, not the state government/transport department. It was also built in NZ, so they don't get to claim locally sourced content on it either.

Re: Rare and interesting car sightings
I used to own a 1977 Merc 240D, it was by far the cheapest car I've owned in terms of comprehensive insurance. Shannons could not compete with the cheaper insurance and online auctions and closed recently. https://www.drive.com.au/news/shannons-auctions-announces-closure/ The 240D was in fact insur...

Re: What makes you happy today?
Well to be fair, Adelaide does have one Optimus, Volvo B8RLE #2451. We also have a number of older Volgrens with CR222L, CR224L and CR228L bodies.

Re: SA lockdown
Bear in mind that four rigids from the hills are on loan to Torrens Transit, so even with lower passenger loadings, they still have less rigids than normal available to send out.

Re: Rare and interesting car sightings
I'm not sure if it's compensating for the loss of V6, or just bringing it in line with the American version which already had the new four cylinder engine and eight speed auto.

Re: Rare and interesting car sightings
The Magna that I had before the Camry was the Sports version, with extra power over the standard Magna and a five speed auto in place of the four speed most Magna variants had. The Camry is certainly more fuel efficient than that, however it isn't significantly better on fuel than the TH Magna wagon...

Re: Rare and interesting car sightings
I happen to own a Camry in the current shape, with the non hybrid four cylinder. A decent enough car, but I do miss the V6 power that the Magnas I owned before it had to offer.

Re: November/December 2020 SA Transport Observations
K230s 1403-1406 were originally numbered 1290-1293, until it was realised the rest of the K230s wouldn't fit into the 12xx range. There were also some 149x K230s, which got renumbered after being transferred to SouthLink.
