DinerLandlord Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 Amanda's Audi TT was beautiful. I've noticed a lot of the models the characters drive are quite old (Rachel, Alf, Martha, Leah). As a foreigner who has never been to Australia I have to ask, is that quite normal for people to generally drive cars from the 1980's? The reason I ask is because it is unusual to see a car from earlier than the late 1990's here in Ireland. Are vintage cars prized in Australia? I saw a car here from 1985 a few days ago and thought it was amazing.
-Karen- Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 It's probably more to do with the show's budget than anything I would imagine. I've also always wondered why they all had such old cars too! I think Sally's was a Vauxhall Astra... or is it a Holden Astra in Australia? Jack had a Holden too but a really old one. I think Tony's is some sort of Ford but I haven't a clue what it is.... it might be similar to Leah's? The car I hate the most has got to be Rachel's! I hate Saab's and the colour of hers is awful!
Lise Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 Flynn also drove a VW van, I’m not sure which model to be honest. A Combi? Didn't Ric get that after Flynn died?
John Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 Ric drove Flynn's combi. I suppose it went to Perth. Many younger people in Oz drive older cars. They are cheaper. You can pick up an early holden Commodore for less than a thousand dollars and parts are dirt cheap from wreckers.
-Kevin- Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 One thing I noticed on H & A is that they dont have very nice cars...well besides Haley, was it her that had the pink mini? Yes I noticed that pretty much every character drives bangers With the exception of a couple of characters . Didn't Sally drive a Opel Astra or maybe not
suzannelgnz Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 Morag drives a Holden Statesman I'm sure Tony's is a Ford Falcon from the early 90's
adellejefferiesxox Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 I think Nicole's car was the only decent car on home and away, I hate Belle's car so ugly lol
emmasi Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 I don't suppose anyone knows what kind of car Kim's Chariot was ?
KirstyEkua Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 The car I hate the most has got to be Rachel's! I hate Saab's and the colour of hers is awful! Agree! It's so awful and ugly You'd think being a doctor she could afford something better. She must be pretty rich, lol!
halcyon06 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 Yeah the only people I can think of that had somewhat decent cars are Nicole, Sally, Hayley & Amanda. ^I agree I hate Rachels! Its so gross, for some reason I always thought it was Tony's though.
