I don't think you do actually but that's ok.

'I just want one' was HSV's advertising tag line for a period.

UC is probably the 'played one season too many' of Torana so I reckon it would be worth a go. Very few would have been made with V8 anyway. LH is a bit more iconic but still four door ones aren't uncommon, but I would keep the original motor around in the shed just in case, rather than move it on.

Old 6's more convenient than the 8 of the era anyway. My 253 takes forever to warm up and still stalls as an auto. A fella down the street with a 202 drives it as a daily, starts first time every time.

The ecotech is my VY is a solid motor.

Agree re: car interiors. I reckon it's preferable to modify the engine than those beautiful interiors and dashboards from a purist angle.

Had an LH Torana as my first car as a 16 year old a million years ago.

Was a piece of s**t.

*No opinion implied on other LH Toranas

Are you saying people buy things because they want it?

I can just hear the 12th Man's Richie Benaud, pronouncing those Sri Lankan players names now. 'D'ya come in ya Torana'?....Kaluwitharana

Partly.

To belong to a tribe, to feel a part of something, to conform

Hidden Brain - I Buy, Therefore I Am

All of us are surrounded by brands. Designer brands. Bargain-shopper brands. Brands for seemingly every demographic slice among us. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself how brands influence you? This week, we look at how companies create a worldview around the products they sell, and then...

Want is the reason there are hundreds of models of car available for sale rather than a handful.

I think it reached peak stupid when at one point Commodore had the S, SV6, SV8, SS, not to mention the non sporty models like Executive, Berlina, Calais, etc.

Nothing wrong with them, was just a waste of money building them here when they were already built all over the world.

Point to the previous post being there's not a lot of difference between a lot of those offerings. Holden didn't need half a dozen 4 cylinder models on offer.

Did they come in a 6 cylinder variety? I seen one being used to tow a heavy looking trailer once, which made me look twice.

I got stuck behind an old woman who decided the top of the escalator was the perfect place to retie her shoelaces.

was part of a bottle neck in an international airport last year. large family all on. the last person in the group had a trolley. my spidey senses told me he doesnt know how to move it physically. and yep, come end of escalator hes pushing it without disengaging the brakes. mainor chaos ensued and i had to grab the trolley and throw it over handrail sans luggage which the chaps family had all frantically unloaded as bodies started to come together.

it was very annoying.

the race of the family is not important
