torana by corymbia

torana

it was his first car and his first love. he drove it to work every day and I can still remember my first ride in this car ....
...and I remember the time when he "just gave it a run" at the raceway and kept doing 10 second quarter miles.....
LC? LJ? Dream car! :]

@brizmako see now this is where I should have listened more when my hubby was alive. I *think* its an LX ... which was lovingly restored at one time, but age and constant use has taken a toll on it. It now sits in our shed missing its true owner ...

what a beast! And well chosen for this weekend as all the petrol heads will be glued to their televisions or at Mount Panorama!

I remember when it was called the Hardie Ferodo 500...

Watch it, buddy, I'm one of the bogun faithful glued to the race ;) @bobfoto

I wouldn't have pegged it for an LX with the angles you've captured but there you have it. If it was pulling 10-second quarter miles it's bound to be a hardcore beauty. I had a pro-street worked Chrysler back-in-the-day and it never got quite that fast. I'm going to imagine it's an A9X now :D

Your husband had good taste--in cars and women! Love the crop and POV on this shot!

@bobfoto yes - normally Greg would have been glued to the tele.
@brizmako ... it looked very stock, and was technnnnnically a 308 (but larger in reality). Greenie that I am (I'm an ex ecologist), I still love muscle cars and I remember some really lovely Chryslers I've seen around.
...and our old neighbour actually DID have an A9X in his garage!
@farge thanks - they are such a classic car.
@lorihiro thanks and you are far too kind to me I think;)

Nothing like one's first car and this looked like a beauty

@corymbia I think you've just become my favourite ecologist :D

@corymbia @brizmako - well said Alan.

@peacerebel it really is a great car ... and one that I'll never sell as it's just SO Greg :)
@brizmako @bobfoto hehe
