No phones, no internet, 5 and 1/2 day trading, carbies, and manual gearboxes, 60 cents a litre for fuel at worst. We should just go back to those simpler times.
Yes, but based on inflation, fuel hasn't gone up as much as people think. 60 cents in 1980 is $3.06 in today's money. (Calculated using Reserve Bank Of Australia Inflation calculator).
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
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
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.
Lol…the only “shit heap” is the car they are driving! His car got hit, another car drove into a tree, oil slicks on the road, yeah right, this is definitely where the bullshit happens!
Was a great time, but my cousin progressed from a slr 5000 to a club sport commodore in early 90’s and was killed in it. Too young, inexperienced and pissed. Into a rock wall at heathcote. Family were destroyed. Also a time when a females breast cancer diagnosis was often a death sentence. Not today. Medicine has improved heaps since then.
I came to Australia in 1985 with my family. Our first family car was a Holden station wagon, I think you know the one. Built like a tank it was. My mum was driving it and hit a tree. The was badly damaged, however the car had a small dent lol.
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
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.
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.
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. 🇦🇺👍
envious 19 year old. the ability to just skid out on these roads where nothings built and no one cars and everyone can afford these beauts ah mannn and no COPS AROUND?
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.
When Australia was at its peak.
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

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.
Such great footage, stunning cars built to last. People power can bring all this back aswell
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
Yeh I bet you did. Not
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

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
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.
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
Back then cars were so much better
Unfortunately no
Ten times better than what the Lebo’s do these days with their obnoxious sounding exhaust pipes.
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.
1980's was the best time in the history of the world!
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.
Great footage. What the cops would have called evidence back then.
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
Before Victoria became the nanny capital of Australia
ohhhhhh cry a river
Nanny capital of the world 😂
Thanks to all the 🐑🐑
Lol…the only “shit heap” is the car they are driving! His car got hit, another car drove into a tree, oil slicks on the road, yeah right, this is definitely where the bullshit happens!
Where’s the fluffy dice hanging off the rearview mirror…
Great memories. Thanks for the upload.
Amazing times & people. Thank you for sharing this footage. Friday & Saturday nights were something to look forward to, some tough cars.
The green XB looks and sounds tough.
I am so proud to be Australian.

It really was the social event before Australia lost its freedom.

Of course. Zoren in the ESP not surprised there 😂
Australia was and still is the best country in the world
Great video
Crazy to think our own government would strip us of this enjoyment
They have bro. Sadly all the sheep complied, the Govt got their data and here we are.
An Australia I dont recognise. These images are just memories...
There’s some six figure cars in this lot. Even the pissy 120Y is worth more than it ever was. Awesome clips👍😎
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
Yep...the cities are basketcases now. Really horrible places in all capitals.
When Australia was a cool and hip place
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.
i was working in the work site in the background at the time
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.
lol @ the Maria’s.
little did they know their cars would be worth more than what they bought them for 40 years later
Bring back the 80s any day bc once the 2000s hit everything went to the s house ...!
Rotary's went like a cut snake,had some great fun in the 70s,thanks for bringing back awesome times
Those were the days, my friend we thought they never end but they did .😢😢
Best days of our lives
..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.
I never thought I'd see a 1 hour fucking video of my street on youtube 😂
The Camira another Aussie classic 😂
Dandenong drags as a kid those were the days.
When cars where built like tanks and petrol wasn’t an issue
Torana with a chevy badge thats a first
I don't know what is better the time capsule video, or special comments from Mario!
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 .
Guido Hatziz eat ya heart out...mate!
The OG mister drifter in the rotary
Those were the days my friend...
what a welcome not to hear any generic pops you get now days.
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.
Each one of those cars be worth a bit now
Wish my house didn't burn down, lost all my Dandy drags, footage. 😢😢
