It arrived 4 days ago in Europe and it will be prepared to run as fast as it can on a German autobahn.

I will try to keep Torana friends updated from here via Youtube and my Webpage which will start this week as:

A Torrie of its T@TS on the autoBahn will be something to see.

Forget the Autobarns, how about a lap of the almighty N�rburgring! :spoton:

The 'rana was made to go around tracks!
Seriously though, hope it goes well, for you, very interested in where this goes.

Cheers.

Mate i am impressed :clap:

A Torrie on the Autobahn you win F$#k the Porsches BMWs and Mercs.
I still clearly remember back in 94 driving the red kombi down the autobahn in Germany looking in the rear vision and not seeing anything in particular.

Then not 5 seconds later a yellow Lambourghini went past me that fast i nearly shat my pants :tease:

You have chosen well for headturning i just hope you don't need too many replacement parts

Again i will say :clap:

Definitely a head turner in Europe :rockon:

Probably a good chick magnet too :<_<:
