The Northern Torana Club does exist. Then again I dunno whether it's active or not. It's small in comparison to the VTC I gather, but I must say I've never met any members nor seen photos of the cars/turnouts/displays that I can remember.

Website, Contact details? Wouldn't have a clue.

I heard something about a northern club but i think its myth. havn't seen anything to support it.
looks like you may have anew member soon, but i wouldn't be able to get to all the meets.

I amazed that there isnt something in the North or even the west... I suppose all u need is to get a few mates together and go on regular cruises, ppl will see u and ask, even if u just have the gmh-torana sticker on the car they will come on her and ask....

The Northern Torana Club is based in the Western Border Region.
When the STC, ATC and members of VTC and SMTCSA met up in Echuca the NTC just happened to have a treasure hunt on in town, and came back for the photoshoot.
There were ppl on here from the NTC, but haven't seen em for a while.

Mick? They're all eastern. There are other guys in the northern suburbs... a gunmetal XU-1 but it's on CH plates, I know there are others i just can't think at the moment. If you start getting popular you might get GENROL coming around too ;)

I know the stickers are pretty cool but I am not sure there is any reason to get that excited.

also Macca from Bendigo.
I also know someone with a V8 Lj that will make heads turn
Sounds like a good Idea to maybe start our own cruises. Didnt realise there were so many of us in the west and north.

Would be at least 2 months before my car will be back on the road but I can tag with my ss ute.
YiriSS: Top Idea to travel together "in formation almost" over to the Vic torana club. What a cool sight.

I agree with YiriSS I dont think we want to start another club, i barely have enough time running my buisness but It would be good to be able to cruise with people from over here to other cruises and maybe even just catch up on the way to things like the Picnic at hanging rock show

Shit! YirriSS I used to live just opposite the Primary school off Alandale rd. I am now in Delahey.My Torana used to be Antelope and really low but that was over 14 years ago it is now red but It has only done about 1000 kms in the last ten years so you probably havnt seen it.
Also with you on the new club thing.I have no intention of starting one ,I am too busy for that but catching up on the way to other runs or even going in tandem to a thing like picnic at hanging rock would be good.
EDIT: sorry didnt realise the other post went through. DOH!! :fool:

hey Mick i am good.
i was hoping to run into you at Calder Park before Hanging Rock but you must have been elsewhere.
got to catch up soon.

the next Vic torana club run is to the Dandenong Drive-in on 4th March, not sure if i can make that.

i would happily cruise over to the other side of town if you guys get a run going.

Hopefully you can come to that one next time too, Mick. What did the rest of the family think of the Lunar Drive In? I had a great night personally.
