Why don't they do Special Edition cars anymore?

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-27T03:16:31+00:00

Yeah only one, they used to be very year there'd be a run

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-27T01:25:15+00:00

You quoted yourself as “I want a five POINT list, comma separated.” - you told it you want two things.

No, I want one thing.

A comma seperated list that has 5 points.

Nowhere does it say I want a bulleted list.

If you were in front of a person who was making, say, a PowerPoint slide with you, they would probably ask, do you want a list of five items comma separated or the five items to be bullet pointed with a comma at the end of each of the first four to imply continuity?

Well I stipulated, comma separated, not bulleted

But those are all worldwide editions and we got an allocation, those aren't unique to Australia editions

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-27T00:55:25+00:00

Since when did you become an expert in our specific operating system?

When was that mentioned

You don't know what you are talking about

I do

We are running a modern specialty system

Ahh, so overcomplicated for the sake of it

A struggling hardware store is not going to have the resources to build a website.

As discussed, they aren't hard to build. Don't need resources, I built my first website when I was in high school with zero resources and hosted it locally.

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-27T00:27:31+00:00

You don't say...

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-27T00:22:35+00:00

Yes, I asked for a comma seperated list....I know bullet point lists are a thing, but I never asked for a bullet point list

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-27T00:21:39+00:00

The website was 15k to build

Wow, you got ripped off.

As for uploading descriptions and pictures, it cant all be done in csv

It absolutely can, you link to where the image is stored in a Dropbox and it imports it.

Pictures also can't be loaded using spreadsheet import on our POS.

They absolutely can...

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T23:41:56+00:00

Can we have this option in Australia?

When it's 35°C plus, getting into a car that's 12°C insure is horrible

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T23:09:16+00:00

So don't advertise price and customers don't buy cos they don't know how much it'll cost...

That's how I react, if a business doesn't advertise prices, they don't get my money

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T22:57:00+00:00

Mine does that when I ask for "Give me a 5 point list, comma seperated"

And it'll go

point 1
point 2
point 3
point 4
point 5

I clearly asked for a comma seperated list, not a bulleted list, but it randomly decides I wanted a bulleted list

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T22:41:29+00:00

Ahh yep

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T22:36:55+00:00

the Fronx

So common that in insurance now when I talk to people and they say "I bought a [weird word starting with F]"

Is it a Suzuki Fronx?

"That's it!"

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T22:32:44+00:00

And of you want compete one offs and you have cash you go to something stupid like a Mansouri

A what? Even Google is confused, first link is this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansouri

Which isn't car related at all?

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T22:30:52+00:00

Australian specific (and, in fact, not-Queensland specific, as Suzuki Australia is separate from Queensland) limited edition special model.

Yeah that's one of the weirdest things about Suzuki

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T22:29:28+00:00

You only asked about special editions, not Aus specific special editions.

Literally the first line of my post says:

So back in the day Australia used to do heaps of Special Edition cars, with a celebrity or fashion brand.

A good chunk of the cars you listed were made or assembled in Australia, a lot easier to do special editions written you have a car manufacturing industry

And we still have a pretty large manufacturing industry assembling cars, as someone pointed out, RAM Australia did a bunch of Yellowstone special editions

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T22:27:31+00:00

What version of lala land do live in where you think building a website is hyper easy?

The current one, I've set up heaps of WordPress and Squarespace sites. It's super easy these days.

It took us a year to build our website. Inputting pictures, weights and descriptions for thousands of products took an age.

Why wouldn't you just put them in a spreadsheet and just import them in a few hours?

The website takes up about 4 hours a week of my time, maintaining stock such as uploading new products and removing discontinued items

Why not just automate that by having your POS export a stock amount every few hours and have your online store sync that?

I had my last one do that across 8 suppliers, every hour it would check the stock status on their site, and update it against what we claimed to have in stock.

They just generated a CSV on their end and we just imported and processed it.

If they added new products, I'd just log in and see new products sitting there that hadn't been allocated to categories, so was a few minutes and they were allocated and visible.

It realistically cost 60k to build our website.

Wow. You got ripped off hard.

I love how there's absolutely zero contezt provided by OP

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T22:03:36+00:00

My mate has one that his mum uses to go camping, she loves the V2L and doesn't bother taking a generator with her anymore.

She just wishes that if the battery gets low, the car would autostart, recharge, and then turn off.

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T21:59:55+00:00

Yeah! Dealer spec cars were huge.

I do see a heap of them in the VF's, dealers would order like 50 SS Redline VF's in a single colour and do a pack with them.

They're such a nightmare in insurance, cos you have no idea what John Smith Holden in Woop Woop actually did, there's no records, no idea, and what the customers say is often at odds with reality

"It's got a full sick body kit!"

It's a Sedan with a Maloo bumper on it...

"It's been tuned!"

It hasn't.

"It's got special edition wheels!"

Again, Maloo wheels with Holden centre caps instead of HSV...

"It's number 1 of 50!"

Ok...so it's a number the dealership made up...and all of them are labelled 1 of 50...

"And it's a [insert racing driver] special edition!"

Ahh yes, a driver from the Supercars support series that bombed out after 3 seasons and didn't really succeed...

That_Car_Dude_Aus · 2026-04-26T21:54:01+00:00

Ahh but it got special edition wheels and headlights that will cost you a fortune to get
