I must be the only one that has never liked the Torana : My Auntie and mother had one each, They actually owned the same one, My cousin owned 3, Mate bought one, I just never really liked them, I respected them for there performance but most of all.

I like the VE GTS. And it makes a good sound too.
Where's my usual detractors? Stevz are you there? I admitted I like a Holden, you aint going to want to miss this. It is a sleek looking almost awkward car, but it has the balls to back it up and for that reason commands respect. When it goes past you can't help but admire the tail lights as you listen to a nice engine note. Well done Holden for that car, as said earlier in black it is a killer.

With all this Holden stuff ive often wondered why some holden people call the 1968 HK GTS 327 the "greatest Monaro" when the 1969 HT GTS 350 won bathurst too, was a faster car and won the ATCC?
Bit like Phase 2 v Phase 3?

Its got to be the GTS series of the late 60's for me. Its the only Holden I truly would consider my own.
But I have a soft spot for a HQ GTS 2 door Monaro as well. Even a modified 2 door LJ with a 350 chev would sway me.
