HQ was the most honest best car ever made by the way, and pies are waaay too expensive. back in my day you could get a maggot bag WITH dead 'orse and a bag a cobbers for ha'pnny and a hand shake blah blah blah call that music! Bon scott snore zzzzzzz

Silver cab was on speed dial
.
I'm not really a fan of older cars, Before the Commodore i wasn't a fan of anything, So today I'm guessing the only reason i liked Holdens was the good old VB.
I still remeber driving it out for the last time to the tow truck
.
Back in the early 90's we got 2 weeks from $30 petrol.. The good old days

I gave our old VB to my 18 year old nephew who is rebuilding it from the ground up to give it a new life. Like mikmak says, everything seems better when you're young. He just likes it 'cos it's a manual and it's RWD. He has to use a six for now but there are V8's to slip in when he's off P's.
So the good things still apply and appeal. I like that he didn't turn into a ricer, as he wouldn't have been given a car for that....
Am I bad to indoctrinate an impressionable young mind to my way of thinking?
But I'm not trying to blind him to other brands. After the P's, instead of a V8 for the VB, there's a clean XR, a few tins of gold paint and a few spare Cleveland 351's and 9-inch rear ends with 4W discs with his name on if he wants.

I'd be stuffed for room
.
I got 2 spaces now and one is my Berlina sitting on the grass looking good
but going nowhere
..
I had the VB in a spot sitting for far to long with no room, Was sad, But i still got the VP which i gave to my mum i still drive that it's been a good car also.
I'd love to have a project car be something great. In some ways the Berlina has almost been a semi project for me.
But i do like modern cars, more power and the ease they move with today, But nothing beats the old V8's for fun.
