F^ck that Monaro looks good...

Not much in the way of Torrie's though...

A bit on Brock's rally XU-1, with the mid-mounted, injected V8.

And an LX and a UC in Reader's Cars.

this Torry packs the full-house 308-cube L32 V8 it came with from the factory

308ci L32, eh?

Hell, there's not even any Torana pics in the All Holden Day article... Maybe theyre saving up for a Torana special?

Wait, take that last bit back. I can see some open LC/LJ bonnets... and an LH SL/R 5000 front guard...

Yeah grab a copy the s'arvo and opened the cover to a two page spread and........... a ricer!!!!!!!!

[RIM-010]

Thats what i thought! Why the hell would the advertise a Rex in SM!

Although its not really a ricer... Wait till the Ricers get to them, THEN they will be ricers.

Im pretty sure rorym has a Rex, and cuts some pretty mean lap times...

Haven't seen it, but it sounds like crap, even if you don't consider a Rex as rice, it still shouldn't be in Street Machine. I'll have to check it out.

...yet another reason that I don't buy Street Machine - the main reason being that I'm a stingy bastard.

Yeah, surely an ad for the VE would be better off than an ad for a WRX...

Pretty shit overeall this month, but i cant get over how good that Monaro looks!

that monaro pisses me off. he is mates with my uncle, (who is a hot house green fanatic) but bout 6 months ago at acar show here on the coast, i was a few cars down from my uncle, and mark sullivans 2 monaros (all 3 hot house green or similar) and him and my uncle were looking at my orange LJ and he said "im planning on repainting the HK but i couldnt pick out a colour, and then some chitter chatter then he continued to say "but i reckon orange is the go, i mean look at all the atntion your nephews car is getting" and his paint is like mad exopensive and nicer then mine!!!! ARRRRRRRRR

[RIM-010]

orangeLJ, what are you on about?

Are you complaining because his paint is better than yours? Of course it is, it's a bloody Show car...

RIM

[orangeLJ]

nahh im not complaining that its better then mine, that was just me ranting, but the fact that he chose it cus it looked good on my torry (although its a compliment) gives me the shits, i chose orange cus there are (well were) little to no orange cars on the coast, but slowly more and more have appeared and it gives me the pooops, like i go hang out at the haven (near terrigal beach) and i get my car compared to other orange ones that ppl have seen, i know im bein a big whinger, but its one of those "go one better deals" anyways im done with my bitch session. CHEERS Chris

Ohh while im picking out problems...... i must say the interior seems too dark or not dark enough to go with the paint. Went with the hot house green but doesnt really look A1 with the orange. MY 2 cents.

[RIM-010]

Well, My LJ is probably gunna stick out pretty good. Non metallic Purples arent very common.

I reckon our LJ's would look sweet next to eachother, Chris... but your on the other side of the continent haha

Yeah i always wanted to get like a red one, a bright green one, a blue one and purple one and have a line up, mad rainbow style.

[RIM-010]

Yeah. Ive seen a pic of a heap of XR6/8's, lined up like a rainbow. looked awesome.
