As promised, the Favourite Torana poll.

Steve how did you build a new torana model ? LH Hatch ???? Looks like a new model to me.:p

Luke

[Esses]

Maybe I have! This all from memory, after a 12 1/2 hour day, after all. Wasn't the Hatch introduced during the LH, or was it part of the upgrade to LX? Over to the experts.:)

[lukey73]

LOL I know what you mean about the 12 1/2 hr day ! But the Hatch was introduced with the upgrade to LX.

Luke

The first car that I owned was a LC GTR XU-1, so I vote for the LC...
What a top little car.... ahhhh memories...... :)

OK, my mistake. Admin., please delete the non-existant LH Hatch?
How do you delete something that already doesn't exist?:D

[LC Torana]

My vote has to be the model I have parked in the drive...the LC :D

So why did you turn to the dark side Frosty???????

Cheers, Jase :D

I think it's a bit of a no-brainer as to what will win this. I voted the LX Hatch.

damn straight, me too: gotta love that metallic front end:cool:

i reckon LH/LX only look good really done up; drop tank, huge wheels, big V8

For me, it has to be the LJ Torrie incl XU1.

My Dad swapped his LC XU1 for an Alfa Romeo Gulia 1300:(

I grew up riding around in mums red motor 202 LJ Torana that went like the clappers. That thing took us everywhere, even on our holidays, down to Orange & up to Coffs.

LJ for me for sure.

[toad]

definitely LJ XU-1 for me

Hi Jase,

I like both cars.... I like individual cars rather than follow a single manufacturer... Something to do with in the "eye of the beholder"...
My LC XU-1 and XB GT Hardtop were both completely different, but both gave me immense pleasure.
At present I get my 'car' pleasure by driving my son's highly modified VL BT1 Turbo... Absolutely creams my 2 cars in power...

So your car can look as individual as everybody elses?:D :p

Most people I know who have hacked-up a perfectly good LH or LX by adding flares (I am of course assuming you forgot flares in your list), bobtail etc regret it within a few years.

Cheers

Actually, I didn't, though I was tempted. My FAVOURITE Torry would be the LJ XU-1, with the A9-X running a close second. I can't remember the last time I even saw a HB on the roads. Bit of a rarity now & I've NEVER seen a Brabham.:( Though Dave & I did find a HB VIVA in the Cooma wreckers once.

[Esses]

Looks like the UC's are orphans. Nobody likes them. I actually think that they're the "smoothest" looking of all the Torrys, with probably the most civilised interiors.

[LC Torana]

That big ugly tail light assembly is what has always put me off the UC model

You need to wear your glasses more often. :D

Yeah, but I work on real roads, not bush tracks.:D

No, it's more that I'm stuck in my little delivery area & don't "get out" much. Not like the old days of all over Canberra at 300 km per day!

Beauty is in the eye etc. I quite like those tail-lights.
