(beware, this thread involves much rambling about shit all)
Right. So yesterday my brother saw a suburu SVX at a workshop.
Insane looking thing, crazy windows, piazza level of crazy electronics, crazy seats etc.
apparently this one needed about 8 grand spent on it or else it would become a garden ornament tho.
Also, I started talking about it on Face Space, and immediately someone else on there said he had seen another one on the same day.
what are the chances?
wonder how rare they are in comparison to our piazza's?
If you are not familiar with this car, look here.

And so I immediately recognized it as one of the piazza's long lost cousins, designed by Guigario, and just as crazy in many ways.
I then went on to look at a wikipedia list of how many cars he has styled....
turns out I have 4 of them in my house.
WTF?
how did that happen?
you guys probably don't remember, but before I went all piazza crazy I had (well still have 1) two similar shaped cars called Renault Fuegos.
WELL. they aren't styled by him dispite looking the same, nor is the predecessor the renault 17, which my dad has one of as well. but Renault 19's and 20's are.
I took great interest in some renault 20's I saw at a wreckers that looked in good nick....despite being in a wreckers.......... and now recycled metal most likely....
I was pretty keen on them, but held off of getting one because that would be just silly right?
I herd only like.... 7 were sold in south australia (how accurate that figure is I don't know) but.... rare as.
.....and renault 19's.
WELL.
there are a few different designs of renault 19, but as far as I'm aware Giugiaro designed the "face lifted" model...... Which my dad has one which was his first, and only ever brand new car. we still have it, I learned to drive in it, and it's still my dad's daily. been crashed and repaired many times.
my brother has a pre facelift model.
and ..we came accross another nice red facelifted one that had been crashed, it's been in storage for a year or so now, but finally my other brother is taking it to a crash repairer.
...and obviously I have 2 piazza's.....not that I've shown off the 2nd one yet, but it's one i bought from eyecon.
so there you have it.
