G'day All

 

Went into one of my search engines for Torana stuff and came up with this one and it's one I have not seen before

Along with the usual articles on Science, Engineering, Home & Yard, Electronics, Radio & TV, Photography, Boating & Outdoors etc was the story on "Torana Hatchback diversifies GMH"

Also has interesting story on "Coming: New cameras that focus themselves" Mmmmm will have to get meself one of dem  :spoton:

 

Another on Car Care Guide has some interesting tips on how to look after your car by the owners of cars with high mileage.

 

Also interesting to note that the photo, top left of the first page of the Hatchback article is the photo I have that was used for magazine stories on the Hatchback and is what I believe is one of the original photos taken.
