I dont believe the Giant Killers magazine was related to any car club (I have never heard of a car club of that name)

Great collection! An achievement on its own getting them scanned. I know it takes forever. I started but gave up :rolleyes:

I remember HSVGTS posting up images of his first XU1s and from memory there was a few of them that formed Giant Killers, it was QLD based..

Scanning does take alot of effort, i gave up trying to scan my old car pics ages ago.

Yes, Giant Killers Car Club was Brisbane based, there are some who were in the club on here.

I have some flyers somewhere regarding the club.

Yep, all bought new. I culled the collection of old Racing Car News and Chequered Flag magazines a few years ago and just kept the Torana/Brock/Grice/Commodore etc relevant issues.
