    Default Does anyone recognise this Victorian town?



    The backstory: These cars are the new 2009 Chevy Camero (see full story )

    I'm assuming they're on there way to Lang Lang. But I'm just curious to know what town they've stopped at.

    Not sure about the clock but the monument, pub, drive thru, hospital sign and street lay out remind me of Mansfield. In reality it could be lots of other places by these measures.

    Not relevant to identifying the location but I was surprised to see the new (now current) commodore or an American equivalent. It was a left hand drive car with all the badge work etc covered up on Nepean Highway on the way to work one morning.

    It was dark and about 5 am which is perhaps a time they may use to road test. I caught up with it about Southland but once the driver realized I was paying interest in the car he sped off in and out the traffic which stopped me getting a better look.

    Points for guessing, but according to , Myrtleford doesn't have a white picket fence surrounding it's statue. Unless Myrtleford has another statue.

    This is annoying the hell out of me. I want to know where it is. Not for any practical reason, it's just one of those things that really bugging me.

    I've seen one too. It had all of this trippy decals slapped on it of black and white curvy triangles which stopped you from getting a good look at is shape. It was dead easy to tell what it was though.

    the top of the front wheel to the back of the car

    Yeah, I see it. It's the watermark from the site the image is hosted on. The site doesn't say what town it is though.

    Maybe I'm colour blind and don't know it. Like colour blind people in WW2 being used to spot camouflaged tanks in aerial photos.

    Some really nice cars with real old school muscle car looks have been comming out the last few years.
    New commodores
    New astra
    New Chryslers
    New camaro
    etc......
    Pity Nissan stuffed up the look of the new GTR. Its lost its balls in the looks department.
    Pity Ford hasnt got the old school muscle car look yet localy. They lost it after the xa/xb/xc coupe era.

    I assumed the car were on there way to Lang Lang so I thought the town in question would be between the freeway and Lang Lang. I could be wrong though, they're probably taking them for a country side cruse ( I know I would).

    You may be right still.
    They would most likely have taken them to Lang Lang for testing.
    Many towns just outside of Dandy too.
