There is nothing wrong with the forum, the post count was turned off.

Start spamming and I will start deleting :rolleyes:

Post count is on silly see, you were on 515 and you are 516, I think we should stop our spamming race, I think you may have to put up with "Forum Fixture" since Heath has it and Heath is the forum's no.1 poster since CHOPPER is gone...

Someone, I think maybe Dr Terry posted what all these stood for in relation to Holden cars...

Things like

S, SL, GTR, SS, GTS, SL/E, L, etc

It was on the old forum too... i thought i coped it but i can't find it.

Would be a good read if anyone can find it.

The reason that the Post Count has been turned off is simply because Post Counts have no value now that Chopper has left us. :P

as someone had said earlier... the 'L' stood for light then does the H stand for Heavy? lol


i always thought SLR stood for Sports luxury Racing

SS was super sport and A9X just sounded tuff!!!

Very interesting to find out wat they all meant

In days of old the model designation was due to years

So FJ-1953
EJ 1963
EH 1964
etc etc
Dr Terry will probably have the proper date codes

Hi Guys.

The model code for early Holdens goes like this. A=0, B=9, C=8, D=7, E=6, F=5, G=4, H=3, J=2 & K=1 (note I is not used because it is easily confused with 1). So FJ = 56, EK = 61 & EH = 63 etc. The only one that's not correct is FB which = 59, because its release was delayed by a few months. This only works prior to HD, which rumour has it was named after Holden's General Manager's at the time (David Hegland) initials in reverse. But HD to HZ all were H, probably just standing for Holden.

W, T, U, V & J are all GM internation code prefixes for different sized cars. HB just followed on from the HA Viva which was a Vauxhall code, not a Holden one.

Dr Terry.

Hi Guys.

I forgot to answer the other queries about SL etc.

S = Special (Torana) or Sports (Commodore), SS = Super Sports (Torana) or Sports Sedan (Commodore), L = Luxury, SL = Super Luxury, SL/R Super Luxury/Racing (some people say Rally), SL/E = Super Luxury Executive. GT is Grand Touring (from Grande Tourismo, Italian, the first GTs were Ferraris), so GTS Grand Touring Sports & GTR = Grand Touring Racing (again, some people say Rally).

XU1, A9X & L34 are just part of the GM-H alpha-numeric option numbering system.

Dr Terry.

Haha. Not alot, really.

I'm 500km away from Home, Which means I'm 500km from my LJ.

I get mega-bored up here. No Cars or Alcohol. Hell, I even miss WORKING!

Holidays start next weekend, and they couldnt come sooner.

But didnt I read somewhere you were only 15 going on 16, so why the big deal about missing alcohol? Or are we going to get another big noting story about I've been drinking since I was 7 or 8 "responsibly"?

Ok Tim, you can stop bringing up the fact of drinking, I'm not big on the whole idea of drinking, I find it pointless...

Yeah. Drinkin is pointless. Owning a Torana is pointless. Driving is pointless. Listening to Heavy Metal is pointless. Racing Dirt Circuit is pointless. Having a #@$^%& knee is pointless.

I Get shit for all of the above (and more), and im bguckin sick of it.
