Hope to get up there, though not sure if I will take the VJ llke last year or Holden HZ ute. Be good to get some older cars there.

For the first year ever I do not have an Australian car on the road

The good Holden is sold, the Charger and the old Holden are languishing in the garage with no MOT.

Might take the Challenger but will have to park on the street.

Old Holden???

Post by **MattH** » Tue Jan 03, 17 9:07 am

The J plate 92 Commodore. I bought a newer 97 plate VS2 last November but sold it on a year later as it wasn't being used. The J plate needs brakes and steering work. I should be sensible and sell it really.

There is a VS ute for sale here in Glasgow, with the old 304 version of the 308 Holden V8 (but it is the 5000i).... hmmm

I wish I had bought that HX GTS many years ago, the green one. I wonder where it went?

Also, Tom Walkinshaw's personal VL was for sale here many moons ago. Ye gads, that would be worth a lot now and it was going for buttons then.

Have a great year in Land Rover-land and all the best to all Hollingsworths

Matt wouldn't worry it's not normally a big turn out ( poss time of year) Aussies don't do cold weather )

we're coming along in the truck...
So maybe see you there for a healthy breakfast

Nice to see Mark and Nick brought the GT's.

Who owns the blue Charger?

Where did the Statesman and HQ come from?

But more importantly who owns the Falcon XG ute? (the red one by the kerb)

It was a good day, nice to see a few oldies on display there.
My memory is poor, but a ozzie guy brought the HQ, first car he ever had, brought 20 years ago, he brought it over 12 months ago, made my day seeing it, as his and mine were the only Kingswoods there. Dave and I gave him our contact details so hopefully he will get in contact.
Did not see a Statesman, but could have been my HZ ute, as it and the HQ were the only old Holdens there I think.

Spewing as I would say when I was growing up in Perth.... Just seen that I left before the HQ Monaro must have turned up, just seen a pic on pistonheadd, a beauty. Is it the one which used to be blue ?

Another year missed,cars up in the air getting a new rear end and repaint
Does anyone have any pics

Looks like a great turnout, I didnt make it.
Blue Charger looks great, as do the XB GT's and two HQ's.
I think the Charger is the 340 equipped car that two of our members were building in Surrey, David Lay and Simon Aldrich as far as I can remember. There was a thread on its build.
