About time we start organising the next vic cruise, would be a far more constructive use of the vic section. Also spring is comming up. though the 200bs probably wont make it if we go too far (had to keep it on topic )

I have a S1 bluey, that has chrome bumpers..... still a piece of sh*t though

I think Bluebirds have a much larger reputation than 200B's. Ask most people what they think of bluebirds and they'll probably say they don't like them. Whereas if I tell someone I have a 200B, the response I usually get is "200 what?". Unless their grandpa had one or something. In which case they tend to go on about how awesome it was.
Anyway, my point is, most people actually know what a bluebird is.

You might be surprised. I don't think I've talked to anyone who doesn't know what a 200B is? As long as I throw in the word 'Datsun' most people seem to know what I'm talking about.

I've found it to be a 50/50 thing with people liking the Bluebirds, they either love them or hate them. Then there's the thing that most people's attitude towards them changes instantly as soon as they get in my car... As soon as they sit down they're carrying on about how comfy the seats are and how cool it looks inside.

I've had a few (older) people stop me and tell me how they used to own one from new and say about how awesome it was. I haven't had a single person say they owned one and didn't like it...

As for the chrome bumper syndrome, I think that comes from Holdens and Fords... Early Commodores and 80's onwards Falcons aren't worth much at the moment (they are going up) but most of the older ones are worth a little bit. I wouldn't take less than 10-12 grand for my EH...
On that matter, it actually seems that the value of Bluebirds is increasing slightly - for my current one I paid 3 times what my old one cost and it was unrego'd... Then again that's not hard seeing my old one only set me back $100.

I'm in for a cruise. We can all drive to a scrap yard and watch them destroy all the 200b's in the world that would be a top day. We'll get the douches from Fast fours out to cover the story.

All of my ex-girlfriends loved it, and one even said she thought mine was cooler when I pointed out a 1600 to her.

I've tried to stay out of this thread - I really have - but I couldn't let this go:

So she was a queer, deaf, stupid, mute then?
