Sorry for the average pics.
I have a soft spot for the smaller Torries. Saw this at a car show on Australia Day. Only took 2 images of it (I needed a wider lens on the day as there were that many people there it was packed). ![]() ![]() drool.

I've owned a fair few Fords and Holdens. I regret selling my LC Torana because of drive-in memories with the girls and I did like the VL Turbo. The five V8's have been good to me. The VE is by far the best car I've ever owned in all facets, but if I was after a project car I'd be going the HG Monaro Coupe in a Canary Yellow.

My Holden selection is:
Torana SLR5000 Sedan, they just look tough!! Torana XU-I, the epitomie of '70's cool!! Commodore VK Group A, the Blue meanie. I generally don't like Commodores but this particular one I love!! As for the current stuff, I do like the VE range. They are a good looking car and I'd be quite happy with a Calais V in the driveway.
