    Love 'em! and Valencia's is very cool.
    Thanks Rob
    they are a rough riding rough idling back braking to drive but thats what i like about them
    imagine doing 160 laps at Bathurst in one

    Yeah... I did a few long trips in them when I was young but I'd hate to sit for too long in one now!

    that looks awesome gene, are you bringing it to Canberra later this year for the torana nationals ?
    you could lock it up at my place if you wanted, the place where they've chosen to hold it is only a few hundred meters from here, pretty much at the end of my street :-)

    I would love to Shane but it would be a big trip for me to bring the Torana see what happens as it gets closer i spose
    i would have to tow it over i would think one thing is for sure i will be there with or without Torana

    I agree gene, I had never been before either, had been meaning to but never got around to it, but last year I went for the first time with my mate rob and the Canberra torana club with a slr/A9X replica that id been helping him build for the last few years.
    it was one of the best weekends I've had, absolutely awesome bunch of people and I cant wait to do it again.
    it was looking like being on the same weekend as the Monaro nationals in Penrith which would have sucked but as far as I know it changed now,
    so I can go to the torana nats as a buddy and then enter the Monaro nats......happy happy happy

    Yeah, but I haven't been on there in a long time.... I should check in again.
    Very interested in the Canberra event. Is it at the same place as Summernats?
