No photos but how is this for brain washing one's kids?
My 4y.o. boy called out that he saw a Torana the other weekend whilst driving to the hardware store just as we do with 'punch bugs' and 'pinch minis'.
I looked about but couldn't work out what car he was referring to, thinking he'd confused somesuch with a Torrie, and then I spotted it.
The SLR was 100m away on the other side of the intersection and we were turning away from it.
Darned good on him I thought, and then I wondered about the whole brain washing thing... Is it parental abuse? :)
Cheers, TB

My kids are always picking out Torana's and Troopys, with a fairly high rate of accuracy.

Spotto what looked like a Covert Beige LJ GTR in the front yard of a house between Freeman's Reach and North Richmond. Looked very worn and rusty but complete.

Anyone know it?

I remember a company in Sydney (C&E Steering in Ashfield) that had hatchbacks as their company cars, they were orange or yellow and I think they also had the stripe down the side.
