Am I the only person in Adelaide that remembers Munch Bunch lunches? They had a different one every day, which unfortunately always came with a pack of sultanas - but otherwise they were good!

The majority of cars on the road were :

VH/VK Commodores
XD/XE Falcons

( Rarely see any now days )

And almost everyones "first" car was a :

Gemini
Cortina
Torana
Colt
Corolla

( Even rarer and usually Grandma's or on car club runs )
