Oh and yes Adam we are a passionate bunch........Ray I prefer the over and under light GTO............but a mates grand father had a gto like that...but a judge model.

Adam if you would care to READ my post in which I said anything after '67 looked shit, I was referring to Mustangs and not any other make or model So there's a bit of premature slam dunking going on round here. Oh no. Only 1 Commodore totally designed here? Once again I am talking about cars built here man, from the VB to the VF. And last time I checked I didn't give a toss that my VN SS wasn't wholly designed here, merely the fact that it was ------>BUILT<----- here and it employed Australians in manufacturing. That is my whole freakin point. OK I'm bored now. Time to figure out Brock's Rubik's Cube

Paul, then you also know.......only one commodore was totally designed here.......and it's not any of yours .....the vn is a widened opel omega......but at least it has a REAL holden engine..

@RB-Paul. Is that right? I'm not a expert on Holden engines by any means, but wasn't the short engine of Buick design and GMH rejigged the heads, ignition, etc?

@HRT Paul - dude, I'm many things but not a mind reader - you said "anything after '67 looked shit". Anyway, who needs much of a excuse to post pic's of muscle cars huh! I think everything went to shit with muscle cars after 69.

As for the new Mustang, having seen one Saturday night it appears ford US imported stylists from ford Australia that worked on the AU Falcon. It looks like a half sucked lollipop that's been in the gutter on a main road for a few days. Not a fan at all but then anything after the '67 looks like shit if you ask me.

Just sayin'. No mind reading required And the engine Paul is referring to in my VN SS is a Holden 5 Litre V8, not the pussbox V6.

@ Adam,i'm pretty sure the 253/308 is an aussie design...the V6 is a buick design that was refined to the later ecotec engine.

i my mind the 67/69 is the best looking mustang of all (especially the car kraft trans am mustang...moffat's is one of only 7 built)

Adam this is the court case i mentioned earlier....if this goes bad it will open a flood in the US...there have allegedly been around 150 deaths from the faulty switch.....all this passion may be for nothing ......it make's VW's problems look small.

believe me mate,i fully agree with you there......when i was younger we made everything here........not just car's but everything from washing machines to aeroplanes!!!!!!!!.....the pollies from the last 40 years or more should hang their heads in shame....this was a great country...and holden exported all over the world(you know they made LHD FB holdens ...and they were exported to Greece of all places....monaro's to sth Africa(ford gt falcons as well)...family 2 engines to europe and sth Korea..........it had been a disgrace what OUR pollies have done.....and the current lot stabbing the local car workers in the back for the sake of a fucking free trade agreement with China......just get's my goat...i never meant to piss you off mate just a little bit of pot stirring that maybe went to far....i do like the look of the Buick concept car in rays post(yes maybe it may need a V8 for the knuckle draggers)...and maybe a name of it's own(though knowing GM it will get a local one)......what got me started was the whole it has to be a V8 thing...i like a v8,but it's not the be all and end all(i used to have a very nice VH 4.2 manual....very nice on a long drive)....but a 403 HP V6 is nothing to sneeze at....just my opinion.....btw Ray.........in the US the base model camaro has a 2 liter turbo 4
