The I saw a Cool Chevette/Goodest Gemini thread

[77vette]

Hey boys i just had a double groovy idea
Whenever you see a Cool Chevette or a Goodest Gemini ;D post a description up here.
You dont see many of these fine automobiles around these days. So it will be a good way of finding out how many of these cars are still drivin on the road.

I'll start things off. On tuesday i saw an old guy driving a dark, metalic, forrest green Chevette wagon. It was a bit rough which made it cooler and it had these roof racks which just blew my mind.

[mikuni]

Yeah, well.. as I spammed on oldschool I saw the meanist grey/cream/beige (something who knows) chevette hatch. Was awesome, lowered slightly on whitewalls. Would have been keen for a yarn but he was heading the other way and anyway, it seems most chevette or even gemi sedan owners don't really get into the wagons so meh.

And, I saw a beige gemini today on the way to work. I think it was gemimads one off here. He sold it as I believe. Oi kyle, did your old brown one have a playboy bunny sticker on it? (I hope not!)

[burntrubber]

I saw this primer grey TG yesterday heap of crap looking thing I incouraged him to do a skid ;D Was expecting him to dump the clutch and gap it but he smoked it up I was wraped made my day really.

[geminimad]

ha nah thats not my gem i sold it 2 sum kid from auckland he said he was guna take the springs out and it didnt have a playboy sticker on it ive seen that beige light brown 1 aswell looks pretty mint my mates got a 78 coupe used 2 be red on 17in titans nw its gunmetal grey should b on the road soon its prety mean cant wait 2 c it cruisin round and brad u still gt all that stuff for the g200w myt hav 2 come grab it

[mikuni]

Ohh ok then. Yeah i know the red one. Stoked its gun metal. Gunna be awesome! You should get those fullas on here. I've been building up a collection of my twincam stuff. Nearly got it all together man. The only thing I don't have is a computer. I'm trying to find one from wreckers at the moment. Are you still going to try use the standard one or go after market?

[zep]

Gutted! Can't paint mine gunmetal now then! Will have to stick with the yellow, should look the beez (excuse the pun) with the dark rims anyway

Brad - I thought you had a microtech!?

[geminimad]

yeah im guna go 4 an aftermarket computer im goin 2 oz next month so ill probly jst get 1 over there ;D but i may look into buying a complete motor over there and bringing it back mayb 13b turbo there quiet cheap over there but i dunno yet zep i reckon tiger mica gold would look mean as on ur coupe

[mikuni]

Oh, so you just want all the mechanical bits except the computer then? Yeah aus stuff is cheap as aye. I have afew mates over there at the moment. Can get cheap as oldschool jappas and sr20det gems go for about 5 grand!

[geminimad]

yeah just all the mechanical bits does ur black chevette wagon hav a pedal box in it? if so do ya reckon it will fit in a gem cos mines a nutsty auto

[mikuni]

Ok sweet. Yeah it has pedal box still. But some dude from down tokoroa wants to take the whole thing away as a project so I'll have to leave it in. I'll let you know if he flags tho.

[77vette]

Wahoo! i saw a Gemini Wagon It was a Holden and it was gold.

[mikuni]

Awsome.. original looking condition aswell or modified?

[77vette]

Nah original as aye. Only saw it from a distance but i think it had a pinstripe. It was the same gold as on the old 323 wagons and 626's etc. Its pretty rear for me to see a gemini in auckland tho, i spend most of my day at work driving all over Auckland and i've only seen maybe 10 gemini's in the past year. I see a few chevettes tho

[zep]

This is good thing. It means that no matter what, the RWD geminis CANT become popular like other oldschool cars becuase there are pretty much none of them. I think I see more Chevettes that Geminis.
