[Secoh]

hah mine was a white LC Torana 2dr - with the 1300cc Vauxhall Viva engine in it. Gutless POS it was - couldn't pull the skin off cold custard, and there were certain hills in Newport where I had to make passengers walk or it wouldn't go up it. But it was mine and I loved it.

[Evil SS]

Mine was a VH SL/E, then a VX SS !

[12MRC]

My 1st car was a 78' UC Torana I bought when I got my license in 88'. It was immaculate. Bought it for $300 from an alcoholic who was desperate for money. hehe.

[REVS R8]

First holden was a manual VP HSV SV91, one of very few manuals (6 out of 106 I think it was).

Was a nice car in really good nick for its age. Got rear ended and was written off.

Evan

[azzss]

Mine was a 82 WB ute 253 4 speed, done alot of km's in that old girl...

[ls1vt209]

Wasn't actually a holden but was a Bedford Van with a 186 in it.

Then came a VK not long after

[Red-SSV]

my first holden was a lj xu1 (strike me pink?) i think the colour was called.
beautiful car , but someone wanted it more than me and knocked it off..........:bawl:

[jonno8]

Got a mint white Vk berlina with 202 auto. After a couple of crashes and rubber laying it was dead.

[wikky]

My second car was a HZ wagon, very worked 308, dragway mags, dropped on its guts, prem front, twin pipes. God I loved that car. Went like sh1t off a shang-eye and you could hear it coming from about 10km away. And it only used about 1500lt/100km.........

[XUV]

A white HK Belmont Ute
161 , 3 speed , no syn on 1st .
100 mph flat out , with half a steering wheel slop each way .
Bar treads all round .
bought when i was 14 for 400 bucks .

[robbaggs920]

03 VY Commodore Ute, base model 4speed auto white had a black hard top and 17 inch ROH Wheels, my first car, later fitted a 2.5" redback system and like a medium size cannon muffler (i think it was like 5" or 6") wasnt real loud but sounded great, people used to ask me what system it was, how much & whether they made em to fit there cars, when i told em it had a cannon on came the BS about it being a japadore or riced or whatever. she has a special place in my heart forever!

[EHH179]

First car, Holden of course, was a LC 4 door Torry. Great car, went everywhere, did everything in it. Had the original 161, couldn't kill it, so eventually put a worked 202, etc.

[stu69]

Embarrassed to say but a UC Sunbird, made up because now drive a VE Maloo, with many (much) better Holdens since

[poolkeeper]

[VXSS346]

Mine was a VP S 3.8 A4 which I bought stock in 1995 for $18k. (113,000kms) Was on P's so couldn't get a V8.

Was also my first car.

I dressed it up to make it look like this. Sorta VP SS look.

http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm139/smb74/CopyofVP003-1.jpg

Ran a 15.7 @ 87mph with bolton mods and 3.45 diff back in 2000.

Was a good car, owned it for nearly 6 years. Then bought the VX. :)

Its still in the family, mum ownes it now, atm done around 260,000kms.

Cheers :)

[steves87]

First holden was an 82 vh 5 spd man with the 2.85l straight six... pretty rare im told

second was a 91 vn 3.8l custom hdt tune.

third was was a 97 vt 5.0l calais, 195i.... had hdt tune with 4-1 extractors and full intake system. one of my most favourite cars of the 8 or 9 ive owned over the years... was a little sad to get rid of.

at the moment dont currently have a holden, just a small break to help appreciate them more.... wont be long till im back in them.
currently have an 1987 Corvette z52 option (and an 07 mazda6 classic sports as daily)

[SHANESVZSS]

a few yers ago wen i was 17 my parents brought me a series2 vp ss , it was hsv enhanced , 3.45 diff and auto. white in colour and had 19inch chrome deep dish..miss the old girl..brought it for $8500 with 130000 on the clock ..had it for 4 years and sold it for $9500 with 136000 on the clock..

now i have a 05 vz ss.

[VESS-VWagon]

When I was 16 I got myself the horrible green colour VK Executive with the equally horrible green interior. Came complete with the notorious 202 'black' motor. Absolutely loved that thing back then.

Put it in for a service one day and it stayed in over night. Place got broken into, they took it, used it in a ram raid then thrashed it to Sydney and put it into a pole in Mt Druitt.

Worst part was the bloody insurance company fixed it and I got the thing back. Needless to say it never went the same again and I then got into a WB 1 tonner complete with statesman front end.

Ahh, those were the days.

[Wonky]

Nice gain!! Did you walk everywhere? :confused: 6,000km in 4 years is sfa! :eek:

[Dicarlo]

My first holden was the first car i bought which is a vy series iii monaro. I was 18 n cashed up and was still worth around 48k - 50k when i purchased it here in wa 2006 for 41k off someone who had to leave to go to singapore within the week or something like that lol :)

[tyrhantc]

EH Panel Van - 179HP, twin strommies, exhaust (which didnt have much to it),Celica 5-speed box, split original rims. Loved that Panny...:bawl:

I swapped my first car, a sigma , for a 74 LH SL/R torana. Had some rust, a lot of dents but i had tons of fun in it. I stupidly left it parked in front of my girlfriends house one night after work with the drivers window down and some clown set fire to it.

[agro8]

my first car was a vlturbo had loads of fun in it,the backseat saw alot of work lol

http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp299/dallascowboy_bucket/BEST_PIC_EVER.jpg

[lowgto]

A 66 HR Holden 186 powerglide.

Pale blue with a white roof, and only the drivers side window tinted as the old bloke who i bought it off used to have the sun annoy him on the way to work every morning lmfao.

No radio and cheese cutters that used to squeel their tits off no matter how slow you were cornering.

An old girl, but tough as teak.

[RIDE:42]

An LC 4 cyl torana that did 65 mph flat out as i did not yet have a lic and the local cop kept a look out for my blue r/t charger(sold that for $2500 should have kept that one)

[frother]

manual 96 vs commodore executive with body kit sweet rims and some other cool stuff. alot of fun had with it in the country.
then upgraded to my beloved ve ss. :)

[Jected]

First Holden was an LX Torana Hatch which I got at 17. Should have kept it...DOH!

[The_Plague]

1976 LX SS Torana hatch, 355, nine inch with 3.77 gearing, TH350, Recaro seats, Bond roll bars, ****ing beast................. in a straight line.
****ing nightmare to turn, ****ing high compression, bitch to maintain unfortunately.
Good to work on though, big open engine bay.

[gen3baby]

HQ 4 door black 308 4speed Monaro :bow::bow:

[Karmaman]

Mine was a 1965 HD Holden X2. Purple with 7 inch wide black "steelies" with chrome wheel trims. Had the obligatory black & white checked sun visor strip across the top of the windscreen. The X2 had a 179 cu.inch straight six with twin down draught strombergs (bugger to keep tuned) and sports instument cluster (extra indications in the twin guage set. Had three-on-the-tree. Loved it but it rusted away on me. Traded it with rust and stuffed clutch on a HK 161 cu.inch sedan.

[KPWISHN]

A faded red VN 5L A4 Executive. I thought it was pretty fast at the time. Never run it at the track. Probably would have run a high 15. :lol:

[davway]

mine was a Kermit the frog green 1971 HQ 202 that was first registered in 1970 - 3 months before it was made - figure that one out!.
Was supposedly an ex cop car (never confirmed) but the only thing i can put the wierd rego down to was maybe it was a Press car or test mule of some sorts - who knows.

My next Holden after that is my manual VXII SS that i got registered just yesterday.

many cars in between, none of which were remotely exciting or a Holden either.

[VUSS86]

2003 VY executive sedan, martini mica, 17" ROH adrenaline mags and exhaust. only lasted 10 months, wanted a v8 so traded it in for the ute:)

[hyperss82]

[nozzlepop]

My first holden was ej panno, baby blue,colourcoded bumpers, got it shipped down from darwin, car only cost me 2grand and it had all the work done, just been sitting in a garage for 3 yrs, 186-192, yella terra head, triple su's celica 5speed, fully custom interior. and sound system. was the coolest cruiser, 265 on the rear and 245 on the front. got 7grand but regret it majorly now. becuase i received a email from the previous owner telling me how much was actually spent on the van, :bawl: some bloke that owned the brunswick pub flew down from melbourne and bought it without driving it. if anyone has seen it, would love it back.

[wicked50]

My first holden was an FC, fitted with a 186's' and Toyota five speed - complete with HR disc brake front end and 3.36 diff ---- smoking tyres into third with no effort at all. -------------I have had many,many Holdens since, but very few compare to the earlier models ---- The best being a HQ 2 door with 327 Chev, 4 speed Saginaw and 3.08 diff --- in excess of 250kph well under the 6500rpm redline!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):):)

[CrazyLS1_85]

I had a VT Acclaim series 1 auto. God damn that was one slow car, my brothers VN was faster!!!!

Now i got the VX SS manual, havent looked back :)

[nicebus]

My first holden was a 48/215 , 3 on the tree ute. No synchro on first.
Was quick and in 1965 could pull second gear skids as long as you were on an angle at the time. Loved it !!!

VS Series II Statesman Supercharged V6.. White, Leather, 19 Inch VX GTS Wheels on its nackers.. 10psi pulley and cat back zorst. Quicker than my VY SS on takeoff.

[Goddard]

Mine was a VB SLE (253) the car was a nugget but it sounded nice.

[BobLaw]

My first ever was a 1957 FE holden sedan standard.
I did lots of mods,wide wheels,completley chromed the engine bay,twin stromberg carbs,engine bored port and polish and a grind on the head and a mild 1760 grind cam.
Not a giant killer but went well and was reliable,was the everyday to work hack and used a lot on weekends,to any race meetings that were on.
Bob

:goodjob:

[medz]

My 1st holden was a hz ute in a light blue colour. No rust at all. The interior was immaculate. The 202 blew up in it. Big end went I think. Dad wouldn't let me put a 5 litre in it. So had to fix the 202 up. Was basically a brand new engine. 1000 k's old. Dad's worker wrote it off.:flipoff:

So the I financed an xpursuit vs. with a clubby kit. Loved that car. Chicks digged it to.

Startin to bring back some awesome memories here

Yeah I used to like them. My Parents had a HQ Wagon when I was a bub. The car in that picture turned me off them actually as it was a piece of shit mechanically.

[saaz]

First car, and a Holden, was a HJ ute, 4.2 red motor, dual pipes, lsd, 7" chrome 12 slotters, bull bar and a bit of suspension work. Great car. Dad bought it new to tow a trailer on far into town, I bought it in 1981 with 40,000kms on the clock. Wish I kept it.

Since then VH Commodore blue motor 3.3 3 speed auto(went really well, motor and transmission shagged by 250,000kms)

My first was a bog stock '92 VP exec with the T5 manual trans. It was owned by a little old lady since new and was absolutely MINT. When I bought it in 2005 it had only 80k on the clock.

I then put Speedy 17" wheels on it (they were black with a shadow chrome rim, with the contrast of the white car they looked mint).


It was a brilliant car until I fell asleep and wrote it off. :bawl:

[SV346]

Had a manual series 1 sv8 first with a few essential mods, absolutely loved that i regret selling it now :)
Now an ssv ute is the daily and im not liking it half as much, it doesnt handle any better, you feel its weight everywhere thats for sure, and its quite a numb car the seats are crap compared to the sv8's ones, the sv8 had a bit of character to it, where as these new ones are quite a boring car to drive, it may be a rocket, but a car with no character is a car with no character... I enjoy driving the volvo v70 with the twin turbo 6 more just because it actually has character :)

[haffa]

I have had a couple of holdens over the years and loved them all.My fav was a HX Sanremo gold Monaro.Honeycombs the lot....:cool:

I started Holden life with a VK Berlina Wagon, ex Telecom. high kms but good motor, dual fuel. Still sitting in the driveway & take it for a blat every now & then. Good for going fishing.

Then bought a '96 VS Calais, have had it for nearly 10 years and just traded it this past week @ 245thou for another Calais - 2002 VX 3800 Supercharged with 80tho on the clock - 1 owner, very nice condition, and relatively cheap given the current recession & fuel price fanfare.

Had a real mixed bag before that - Cortina wagon, brand new Lada sedan (only new car I ever bought - didnt last long), & still running my Aussie import '82 DCab Hilux 4x4, now repowered with a Cruiser 3L & 5 in the box that most of my kids got dragged around in.

[sh|tbmxrider]

First and only so far is a 2007 VE Omega Ute, manual with the 195kw motor and 18" Calais V rims.

Was allright.

[Darkrayne]

My first Holden was a $3000 1982 VH SL in silver with blue velour interior and VB SL/E 15's. Blue straight 202ci 6.. had some nice torque!

[Lorne Mauer]

1985 Barina. Carby unleaded and with 14" steelies off a GTI Swift. Great car that I had to run on premium to stop it pinging in summer. The bigger wheels got me to some fishing spots that my landcruiser wouldn't go! mainly because if we got bogged we could lift it out of the mud and I didn't much care about scratches on the poor paintwork. Best "in between cars" car I've ever had.

Cheers LM.

Now get around in this for a daily, my second holden / HSV.

WB will be rebuilt into a weekender tough streeter / drag weapon. Should be fun.

[jadess5700]

was a TF Gemini 1982 mouve/ purple lowered on 17's loved it and wish i still had it I now drive a vx ss commodore 2001 white with 20in" chrome wheels

[bigdogdazza]

on my first one now VY SS Ute, was a ford man before this until i test drove this compared to an XR8, needless to say im hooked now and thinking about a VY or VZ Maloo or Clubsport

Ha ive owned a couple of holdens now over the years and cant ever recall even sitting my ass in a ford once! Hows that for narrow minded? [except for cab rides but to intoxicated to remember!]

[08ssv]

I cant believe I am admitting this. It was a canary yellow JB Camira. I was 16 and had it for about three weeks before the Local Holden dealer got a HZ Monaro on his lot. Needless to say the camira went. I lost $90 on it due to fitting a fully sick K MART cassette player (remember cassettes?)

Come to think of it that was the start of losing money on cars. Just the amount has gotten bigger. HE HE

[Bobo]

Gday guys

1st Holden was a VH SLE 202
2nd VK Brock Director (Ian Tate built motor)
3rd VP 5.0 ltr Calais HSV enhanced
4th VS II HSV Senator
5th VE SSV ute AFM A6
6th VE HSV GTS LS3 M6 (pick it up in July cant wait):rofl:

Loved the Director, shouldnt have sold that car. Hindsight is a wonderful thing I guess. The 6 week wait for the GTS might just kill me, we will see.

Cheers

[ATOMIC 8]

only ever had holdens.. first one was a '99' vt hsv xu6 in orion silver.

[SS-LS1]

G'Day all :)

This is my first ever post on the forum

1st Holden ever was also my first car a VL Berlina, followed by a VS equipe then a VT SS II and finally a VZ SSZ M6 ute which I've had since new

[JC1971]

First holden is my current ride VE SV6. Had every other brand on the market (just about)

JC

[dnyboy]

My first Holden was a VK Executive with the black motor, manual (aussie 4speed), exhaust and alloys. I had so much fun in it, man I loved that car:burnout:

[Podge]

My first Holden was a VT commodre, brand new (well.. it had 12kms on it). I racked up 200000kms in about 4 years then handed it to the fiancee and she proceeded to put 12000kms on it over the next 2 years.

I had a lot of memorable moments in that organising car cruises with the now defunct MCCR. The sound system was great (around 135-140db and clear as a bell) which i did the entire install of (my first install).

I even survived this: http://yoyo.its.monash.edu.au/~tbr/uploads/podge/podges.jpg

(yes it was repaired, dont ask me why but i had pretty much no problems after the repair)

Then sold it when i got my company car and the missus took over my Hyundai Getz as we were saving for a house.

[MickmeMate]

Mine was a VL Executive.
2nd was a VS 1995 exec bought it 2 years old and it went like arocket.damn that thing was freaky fast for a standard six.
3rd was a VR 1994 shitter for just running around in.Still have it the misses sometimes drives it to work.
4th is current ride VYII SS M6.
Out of all of them i have to say the VS was the quickest off the mark.Maybe because it had low kms and the previous driver was an older women.

MY09 VE SV6 Commodore 6 Speed Manual

[cnnonyx]

My first Holden is my 2009 VE SSV Ute.

I would just like to say that this thing gives me much joy in life.

Even though it has the 'sticky clutch' problem - I am even looking at the bright side of that: It has gotten me back into 'tech talk', looking at performance options, etc. Something I forgot about with all previous Japanese small cars.

I love my Holden.

[leadfoot]

my first holden was a lx torana hatch 253 4 speed on 13's that went to a 308 tri matic on 14's...cost me over 20000 over three years,peice of crap,handled like crap,kept braking axles and diffs,always ran hot..sold it to buy a landau

[CalaisVSS]

My first Holden was a 1963 EH station wagon. The unit went through various transformations including an upgrade to 202 with 12 port head extractors, cam and 4 barrel carby hooked up to a 4 speed box.

[powerd]

In 1973, a 1957 FE Special Sedan, dark blue roof, light blue body in quite good nick. Cost $150 with rego but stuffed second gear. The family mechanic fitted a used 2nd gear cluster and new clutch drive plate for $65 and I was on my way. i lost my virginity in it, I slept in it, I camped in it and travelled SA and VIC in it. i piled mates into it to go to the drive-in, I put taxi brakes (finned heavy drums with wider linings) and radial tyres(whoa!) and a sports muffler. It did everything a 17 yo old boy could want in the swinging 70s.

I'd hate to think how horrible it would be to try today!

So do I get a prize?

cheers

LJ Torana. My old man got it cheap as a padock bomb back in 1987 for me and brothers to learn to drive in. Had some great times in that thing!

[Mick Williams]

My first was a LC Torana, XU1 look a like had a good 186 with a stromberg carbie, when I was 17 it seemed to go like the wind. Since then had and array of commodores, Have settled for my VZ SS.

[Sideshow.]

my first holden was a VL wagon, 5 speed, lowered, catback, had it for a while until it did the normal vl thing and cracked the head. current is a VZ SSZ and not being a fan of the VE i'll keep it until they bring out a model i like more than the VZ.

[spanks]

My first was a VU SS,followed by a VX SS,then a VY SS UTE,and now a VE SS-V UTE.....even ot the wife to get rid of her BA XR8 and get a VE SS... now shes happy too

[Matty5700]

1978 UC Torana 3.3L six, 3 speed traumatic gearbox, Gas research straight gas and a crow cam with stage 3 head on it. Painted in a metalic gold.

I do miss it but then I go and start my VE SS-V and I miss it a lot less !!

[Dreamerdan63]

EH Special sedan...$250.00 from my illegal casino winnings of $800.00 that I was mugged of $200.00. In the old days in the middle of Fremantle was an illegal casino run by italians or greeks and when i was 16 i used to visit regularly to win beer money. One night i stayed until they closed at 5am and won $800.00 on the two up dice game. On my way walking back to where i was staying i was mugged and they got $200.00. Next day I quit my lousy job, went home to the country and bought my first car.


That would have been in 1979/1980

[mike85]

HZ Kingswood, got it for free from my uncle who had bought it of my old man 10 years earlier for a ridiculous price n always promised he would give it back on day, so when i got my license he gave it to me.

had a red 202 with column shift auto n genuine gts rims, slowest thing in the worl but it had some character n was the safest thing for a p plater to drive, maybe not safe for everyone else but sure was for me, like drivin a tank!!!!

NA VL berlina with 330k. even if it had a turbo i suspect it would have been shit...

ironically probably the worst car i'd owned. ok(ish) to drive

BUT

the 85 magna i had before was probably quicker, much more reliable and an easier car to flog with little experience

much much preferred my next car, 1990 VN calais that i had for 7 years and only just died after much hard love

[CALAIZ]

Ha ha, a step back in time.

1978 VB Commodore L. What a beast. VC SL/E mock up. 2 tone blue, 3.3L HP red motor, Ram flo, 15" SLE wheels, SL/E rear bar, wheels. Lowered 2 1/2 inches. Sports exhaust. Add the full system with 6 x 9's and 10" sub woofer in the boot that rattled the skin off the bootlid frame and she was fully sick mate. Good old chap laps. Drove the thing for 8 years.
Since then i've stuck with the General with the exception of the BF company car.

[simon.w]

74 LH Torana in Chamois with A9x black outs and rebel mags.

Started it's life with a low compression 173 ... I added a cam, full exhaust, and 2 barrel carby and popped the top out of a piston in no time.

Then it went to a fully balanced 192 with sealed power chrome molly rings and forged pistons, mallory dual point distributor, triple SU's on a cain manifold, ram tubes, waggot 104 cam, 8 lbs out of the fly wheel. Revved to 8700 RPM, pulled low 14 down the quarter, and spun bearings every couple of thousand km's ....soooo ....

Then it earned itself a 308, fully balanced and blue printed, bored 60 thou, with sealed power flat top forged pistons and chrome molly rings, crane's hottest hydraulic cam of the time, and their lifters, mallory dual point dizzy, yella terra stage 3 heads, edelbrock torquer manifold, holley 780 dp carby, and anything A9X/L34 that could still be ordered from the spare parts counter including heavy duty water pump, double row timing chain, high volume oil pump, push rods, and rockers. It then went into a McLeod clutch, then a close ratio muncie with a hurst competiton plus shifter.

I was 19 ... this thing was around 350-400HP, could do the quarter in flat 13's and had a top speed of a smidge under 160 MPH. Was lowered 3 inches, had 900lb springs in the front, 400lb in the back and was so stiff that it tram-lined like a bastard. Oh ... and it didn't stop!

Reckon I'd be able to drive that on P plates today without the local boys in blue questioning me???????

All I can say is lucky I am alive today!

[Antman-SSV]

1983 JB Camira SLE, 3 spd auto. Plush interior and well kitted out inside and not a bad looking car, kind of like a mini VH SLE, but the whole Camira experience soured soon after....went thru 3 water pumps and 2 head gaskets and during the summer after it had been driven for 30 minutes or so, the only way she would re-start after a stop would be to have the key in the ignition and short the starer motor terminals with a screwdriver. During a drive back to Perth from Kalbarri, got pinged by the local coppers who had the cheek to remark that they were "initially inclined to let me off as they didn't think a Camira could do 135 kmh"

Second was HSV SV88 (VL Calais). Nice looking car and well kitted out. Great seats (although leather quality not that flash from memory) and Momo steering wheel, but quality of finish was an issue. Lower plastic panels on the exteriors of the doors and leather panel on glove box were constantly falling off. 3 speed auto but would have been more better with a 5 speed manual, wound it out to about 190 to 195 kmh on a straight stretch one time (i think from memory) but it started to feel very light and twitchy. Got rid of it after it got broken into 3 times, but never stolen.

Now driving the VE SSV (nearly 2 years from new) and could not be happier.

[BNGTO]

Mine was a Camira too: a 4 speed 83 SL. Blew smoke all the time but without the dreaded Aircon and Auto I actually never had a problem with it in 2 years. Probably the perfect car for an 18 year old as it handled reasonably well and wasn't quick enough to cause any trouble.

I don't miss it though.

[kevin101]

Mine was a VN GTS the white one, bought it from a wreaking yard with a blown engine, had it all fixed up tuned well and it went real hard loved it, took so much care of it.
Sold it to a mate a few years back, took him about 3 months to destroy it and sell it for $100 to a scrap yard, last time I sell a car to a mate don't ever want to know what happened to it.

[TunedBy]

TG Gemini, it was stolen from preston in melbourne and ended up in broadmeadows.

it did once do a burnout in the lone star carpark that filled all of bell st :D

that was before the hoon laws came in.

[rosey]

a 2000 VX S pac Commodore, it had a supercharged V6. i boosted her up, roller rockers, exhaust, lowered, mags. brilliant car for a P plater (before the stupid laws came in). ran a 14.9 with a miserable 2.3 sixty footer lol. some of you guys are showing your age, nice old school rides lol.

[blakeb]

1976 LX SS Torana:). Still in the process of being restored as I didnt have the funds to do so at the time. 2nd car was a VTII Acclaim, had a clubsport kit, real good suspension(sway bar, strut brace, lowered springs and shocks...used to handle like a go kart) and a real loud stereo haha. Sold that and bought a VZ SS which is my current ride:D

[Grinded]

First car was a holden, 1972 HQ Kingswood shaggin wagon...and it lived up to its name :D

The good ol' red 202, think at the end I knew how to replace the head gasket with my eyes closed hehe...3 on the tree, oh and how it loved the rain, hit a puddle and it would stall out..meaning goodbye brakes..

Had a good stereo in it though, used to talk to you which freaked people out. And I had a bagphone in it lol, before it changed from analog to digital and I had to get a new one :(

[themissus]

My current ride is my first holden, 08 VE SS M6 ute in Phantom. She's a birthday pressy from my dearest hubby, I've only had her for 3 months but couldn't imagine being without her now:smilesandbanana:
Cheers Kim.

[OscarTheGrouch]

Hrm - mine was a VC Commodore, 173, 4 speed, paid about $3k for it in about 1993 and it couldn't pull the skin off a rice custard. I smashed a couple of lifters and bent 2 pushrods in it within a week or two of getting it so apparently it wasn't real well built either. The big selling point was it had a Kenwood CD player in it! Lovely reddish vinyl interior it had, and tough with white duco and gold hotwires that scrubbed like a bastard but I didn't care.

After that I've had a few others...

HQ Panel van (surfie weapon)
VN Executive
VU SS (auto)
VL SL (daily driver)
VU SS (manual, h/c, exhaust + more)
Holden Combo (barely counts as a Holden really)
and currently
VY II Berlina wagon (LS1)
LJ 2 door I'm building (STILL at the bodyworks after 8 months)

That's just the Holdens though, there's been plenty of others!

[msjwood]

1969 HB Torana, 70 series-70 cubic inch, 70 horsepower. Rocket-officially confirmed at 140 kph, officer, on Kwinana Freeway in 1979. Lucky they didn't have the "lock you up and throw away the keys" laws of today. Dad passed it to me in 1976
TD Cortina wagon 1981-250 cid 6 cyl-understeer city
VC 179 Commodore sedan 1982
VK 202 Commodore wagon 1984
Range Rover 4 door 1985 (VK was a lemon)
VK 5L Commodore wagon 1986, with 4 speed manual fitted (Rangie a mistake)
Rover SD1 3.5L 1988 (another mistake)
Jaguar series 1 4.2L 1989 (yet another mistake)
VL Berlina turbo manual 1990-bliss, except if road was wet
VR Clubsport 4A-very expensive tyres ($600 each for 17" Potenzas in 1995)
VK Calais worked 5L, Tremec 5M, 1996, 850dp Holly-stupid-just got divorced
VL Calais EFI 5L, Tremec 5M, etc 1996. $20,000 on top of a $15,000 car. Nice
VZ SSZ ute 4A 2005 (VL Calais wore out)
VE SSV ute 6M 2007. Best car so far
Various people movers-Taragos, Landcruisers mixed in as well, plus XF wagon after divorce. New better half had 1977 Mazda 121 coupe sports car-not bubble, now has SSZ sedan-perfect second car to take mother-in-law shopping.
Cheers, Doc

My first car was a 1965 HD Holden auto X Square. (X2) It was 12months old when I got it. It started my ways with being an rev head.

[timbo666]

Bought new - 1973 HQ panel van, 308 trimatic, 2.78 diff. Optioned GTS dash, bucket seats and a dual exhaust. Those of you who know the HQ van can imagine the tortuous route the pipes took to get to the rear end, but the unequal length scertainly added to the sound.

This was before the Sandman, so I lay claim to having a "Sandman" before they were made - or possibly giving GMH the whole idea.

Then I went drag racing with it - 15.8 with that tall rear end. But it did go fast on the open road.

Uniroyal tyres lost wet grip when they wore - spun it twice, but this was when we were all young & stupid.

Ohhhh, the stories...........................

[68premier]

HT Kingswood hand me down from my uncle. 161 three on the tree which would sometimes jam between first and second. Those were the days.
Now have an original HT Premier in the shed. Factory 308 and glide. Will be getting a make over in the not too distant future I hope. Still unsure weather to keep the engine factory spec or go a bit mental with a SBC. Leaning toward keeping stock and doing some club runs and rallys.
Might buy something else with a stoinker in it if we ever get a strip happening again here in SA.
