Great memories I'm sure.
Didn't everyone have a German Shepard back then, 'eh?
Takes me back to the good old days when there was so much water in Eildon they didn't know what to do with it all!
Uncle had an HJ (?) Sandman, XA GS Coupe.... great cars....Those pics bring it all back.
Thanks limo!

About 83 I think (getting old now) but it didn't have turbo 6 when I sold it, tried for couple of months but no one wanted turbos then. So 1 weekend came back from woking away went to wreckers, bought 253 & V8 radiator, swapped 4spd (6 for 8)
then stopped at exhaust place on way home for twin system.
I drove it to Mt Gambier with V8 on monday to work.
Advertised in trader came home thursday and sold that night for more than I paid.
