Ha! We could start a club for red belletts only. Years ago I ran a cruise for Gemini van and wagons only and I got accused of being a Gemini racist!!!

Further to my post about my old Bellett GT showing up on Google Streetview, my Ratter has actually appeared there too!

The Ratter has actually shown up twice!

First is a photo at Shannons Insurance. Google says copyright 2009, however the photos of the GT show November 2009, so I really don't know when these pics were taken. Interestingly, the day was dark and grey... but one click up the sidestreet (Neville Ave) and they changed to a different day... sunny and bright... AND with my VY SS Sandman in the car park! I hope I saved screen shots of them, coz Google have updated the pics, hence why my old GT is now showing up there.

It's a bit unclear; I think Google's camera technology has increased since then, but it's over there next to the T/L's CV8 Monaro and next to a customer car (I assume... bonnet is up).

The car in the foreground is the senior T/L's old Mazda 3 MPS. I got a couple of drives of that thing. Ball-tearer; clearly faster than my 5.7 litre V8 Holden SS Sandman... although it did like to change lanes when you put the power down.

It also shows up in Bagot Street, North Adelaide. This must have been during the time Sarah and I were dailying the car to work and back. Sarah would park it outside her work most days, however they've now shifted offices to King William Street in the city which is exclusively NO PARKING, obviously (very busy road... lots of buses and bus stops!).

Google have since updated this Streetview picture as well, so the Bellett no longer shows up there. Lucky I took screen shots!
