seabiscuit Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) I was driving home from work in Weston Creek area and spotted a sweet Orange Ke30 or 55 with white racing stripes. I chased after it and noticed a RollaClub sticker on the back, so I kinda tooted my horn before they turned off down Bangalay Crescent in Rivett. I was in a Red Ke70 with hotwire rims and a steely on the back. Own up if you own it, or if you know who does. Nice car :y: Edited January 27, 2009 by seabiscuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammo[RL] Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Mate i don't know who owns it, but i have seen it many times too! I'm also in the weston creek area, and have seen it driving to work! And yes it is a sweety! (ke55 BTW) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabiscuit Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Also spotted another RollaClub member coming out of O'Halloran Cct in Kambah, where I live. I've seen it a few times, but only just recently spotted the RC sticker! White 55 Coupe with 17's? Looks pretty cool aswell! Who's car is this one? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabiscuit Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Just spotted an awesome Ke36 or Ke38 when driving home from work today. It was metallic midnight blue like the new falcons and had a fat intercooler bolted to the front and had some decent sized silver/white stickers on the sides and back. I didn't notice any RC stickers on it, though :) Saw it turning onto the Tuggeranong parkway from Namatjira Drive. Gave the thumbs up to the guy and got a thumbs up back! I'm turning this thread into a "Spotted in Canberra" kinda thread. :D Post up the sweet Rolla's (or other cool/rare cars) up here and we might be able to suss them out!

sammo[RL] Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 (or other cool/rare cars) Or as i like to call it, 'spot the chrome bumber'! 4WDs with stainless bumbers/bull bars don't count! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, now that you say that, that's basically it! Silly new cars without the chrome bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seabiscuit Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) I see KE70's all the time?! You mustn't venture out a lot. I see atleast one cool car a day! There's a 5k, Turbo, 2.5" exhaust, LSD, KE20 on Allclassifieds for $500. I looked at it twice, was barely any rust the guy has spare (perfect) boot, bumpers, chrome trim (good) doors, guards, grille etc. The only thing wrong is that it has a blown head gasket and has been sitting a while. Is a cheapo blow-through setup on the turbo BTW. But in all it's a cool little car and has them spare parts! Perfect project :D EDIT: The car is also engineered for the 5k, so can drive it legally!

J Riftin Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 hey fishbizkt, I bought the KE20. All the spare stuff was pretty much rubbish. Both doors are f@$ked, rusted right thru, and the bonnet is no better, rust holes, dodgy fibreglass repair job, etc..... But the rest of it was a bargain. The rearend/LSD diff setup and the turbo is worth $500 alone...... I will most likey sell the motor setup after I change the headgasket.

JoJo Yea, that's why I was so keen to get the car.. the motor, turbo, LSD etc... Plus it had a pretty mean exhaust didn't it? The boot that he had looked really clean/straight? Also the chrome trims, grille etc. looked good. They are 35+ years old don't forget... Good luck with it, though. And the name's Seabiscuit :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabiscuit Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Who will be the first to spot my KE70? Southside, RED, subtle gold stripes down the side, hotwire mags, GTRolla Badge (that's right) and a RC Logo on driver side rear quarter window.
