Thanks Pete, that is brilliant!

The funny thing about the RTS (Radial Tuned Suspension) was the castor and camber settings were switched and indeed the handling was transformed with radial tyres, but it would need to be. It was diabolical before the change.
Bruce.
Yeah you got that right! The concept behind the original HQ handling was that it be so bad, no owner within their right mind would try and drive the things anywhere near their limit.
Thanks Ellis. Actually I do recognise that car. Seen that pic somewhere before.
Just came across these shots of the Mark Parsons' Monaro.
The orange XU1 belongs to Grant Liston but I can't remember the owners of the other two.

Vern Reeves is the other Torana -pastel blue green- has Road and Track on the screen and Duke Motorsport videos on the side.This parking are looks so bare without the garages there.Thanks to the generosity of Terry Siddel , Gerni Waterblasters name was on quite a few race cars then ,including his own car-black 1970 Mustang that Wymer currently owns
I know Vern still owns a Torana, wonder if its still this one!! hmmmm!! and wouldn't it be great to see all these Holdens back on the track again!!

Hey Dale, what are you doing here, you need to be getting organized for next weekend.Yes, Vern still has the car, was talking to him at the Amon meeting and says he would love to get out in HMC.This would make him another of the very long term owner committed to the sport.. I know Grant hasnt got his car any more.Another XU1 belonged Graham Crawford-he won the Glenvale Endurance race at Baypark in 70s, anyone know what happened the that one?
Hi - here are a couple of photos of Brett Pearce's new HMC Monaro. Had its first outing at Hampton Downs on Saturday and came though it well.

Hi Mike,
I think you will find that it is Brett, not Dave.Great pix , and it sounded sooooooooooooooo great. A great new addition to HMC. Makes me proud to have Monaro at home.
Never heard a bad sounding 327 John.
Hi Rod, I have an addition to the family that may interest you, it also had a nice sounder in it, your name sake and my name sake drove it.
Thanks to Craig Stacey for sending me these. Bob Janes HQ Monaro at this years Muscle Car Masters:
