Here for all our loyal members,
Norm Darwin is donating a Leather Bound copy of his new book, Torana Tough, the definitive reference for all torana enthusiasts.
Worth $120 in itself, what sets this copy apart is that it will be signed by a number of engineers and designers involved in the creation and production of the legend that is the Torana.
We are auctioning off this copy to raise funds for this website to keep it moving forward for you, the members.
Bidding will open Monday, 30th January.
Bidding will close at 8pm on Wednesday the 29th of February, 2012.
Bidding will start at $150 and will increase in minimum $1 increments.
Try to keep the bids in whole dollar increments.
All bids are in $A.
Feel free to go nuts. If you already have purchased a copy, I'm sure you won't have trouble finding someone to buy it so that you can put this in your collection.
Post bids here.
You must be a registered forum member to bid, or have contacted an Admin or reputable member.
Grant..

A few friends will be there,knowing which signatures will make all the difference to what its worth.
Also Grant,could the bidding close after hours,i think there would be more than a few that carn,t get to computers during work hours,and i,d imagine that would be 29th feb 2012,not 11 as in first post.
$231.00

Yes Craig, I see your point.
No matter what, it's not going to work for someone, but I've changed the finish time to 8pm as this may suit more members.
Tiny may have to comment on server time, as I believe the 8pm close will be Sydney time, so please work around that should
you live in better parts of the country.

The following Holden people will be at the launch, so I hope I can tie them down to sign
Stylists Leo Pruneau, Ken Foletta and hopefully Paul Beranger and Peter Nankervis.
Engineers. Tony Hyde, Ray Borrett, Warwick Bryce, Hugh Videion, Dave Parsons
Technicials Bob Sharples (Flow Room), John Spencer (still works at PG), Phil Aitken (Engineering Build up).
Not all replys are back yet so the list will grow.
