Big T,
The DVD is titled Led Zepplin, it's a boxed 2 DVD set released in (I think) 2006 by Warner Vision. It's footage of live concerts, mainly Madison Square Garden and the Royal Albert Hall. The Torana is shown at the beginning of the Immigrant Song at Sydney Showground.

It was actually left hanging over a wall lol Told the the council they could have the wreck and sell it :)
Danny said it would have taken a fork lift at the very least to recover it!!!

The rights to the movie have been bought by channel 9 ( I think its 9 ) it is and should be on TV late this year.

Cheers

in the early years of home and away there was a slr 5000.
If memory serves me correct the character "roo" was being hassled at night by some "yobbo's" who had the torana.
the character "adam" came to her rescue and jumped in there torana.
this was the character adams introduction to that show.


Knew I'd seen this mentioned here somewhere... just happened yesterday to be so incredibly bored enough to be watching the Home and Away "the early years" and just so happened to be this episode... Looked like it was a nice car (although hard to dell being a night scene) it had personalised plated pretty sure they said DEADLY

There was a blue LH/LX on McLeod's daughters.

One of the girls was going out with the bloke that owned it.

I'm pretty sure he crashed it.

I watched Mad Max 2 the other night and Max drives a truck through an LC/LJ towards the end of the movie.

In here at about 47 seconds.


Not the best clip but it shows the Torrie clearly.
