Hi Norm,
I have returned from my holiday so was hoping you could post off the order for the Combined Torana Club of W.A.

I cant think of the last time I read so many words... Im not a huge book person, Ive been enjoying the pics the most!!! But have found myself reading heaps also.

Interesting to see that no where it lists Tuxedo Black for the LH. Only listed in the LX range.

Incredible they got 500 HP out of a 308. (Well 490HP out of 306CID). That'd be an absolute powerhouse.
