Hi guys,
It seems like most of us have had numerous torana's in our lives.

I was talking to a friend a while ago who's up to his 14th Torana, myself I'm only on to my 2nd (both LJ two doors).

This had me thinking I wonder about the guys on the forum, some of you must have an impressive list.

I'm on my third LX Hatch (the first had so much rust that I scrapped it for parts, the second got written off, and then there's my current "one day" project).

Plus I'm on my third sedan (a UC that got cannibalized as well and two LX's) and I'm ashamed to report that I'm responsible for three LC/LJ 2 doors being turned into speedway cars back in the day too... what were we thinking?!

Im on my 3rd. Had 2 lx 4dr sl,s first one was my first car on L plates then to p plates. It was a 186 with a celica 5 speed. Was so so much fun 19 years ago. No hoon laws etc.
It ended up cut into pieces just because i could. Yes im a idiot.
2nd was another lx that was 1 owner aqua colour. Sorry not sure of the name of it.
Again 186 and 5 speed donated from the previous car. It was sold to a mate that wrapped it around a tree.
Then my much beloved hatch. Never to be sold wile im alive. It was being sold as a 2 door lx torana. Once i looked at it i find it was a original ss. The Owner didnt have a clue.

Only 2. As a 20 year old I purchased a new Mandarin Red LH SLR in Feb 76 and I still have it (unmolested) and an LX Ultra Blue which has been rebuilt with SLR interior and engine bay with 308 and M21.
