I simply love the A9X look !!
Yep, the A9X is a good look; I'm sure many here agree.

You went from A9X to L34; nice.
I remember when those flag stickers were all the rage; it always looked wrong when they put non-Aus. flags on Aus. cars, though I get it, the drivers would put what was often their parents nationality.

On my 10th Torry after 30 years of owning them. Not doing too bad :-)..The current one is keeper. Spent so much time on it getting it to my style of liking. Just fired up the new engine yesterday. Can't wait to drive it down the strip :-)

My old lady bought the LX in adelaide 12 years ago, i told her she wasnt allowed to spend more than a grand on her 'learner' car, frock me if she didnt find an unmolested torrie for $970 lol.. This old mate bought it for his son's L plate car but the young fella turned up his nose cos it was an auto.. SCORE.!!!
Fast forward 8 years my girl says 'im not getting my license after all, wanna buy the torrie off me.?? (At a 4k profit mind you.. Sheesh)

Had the LC for nearly 10 years and never driven it. To be honest first 5 years it pretty much just sat, the last 5 years I've been working on the rust repair.

17 years.
I first spotted the orchid pink lj many years before that...over the years i left several notes under the windscreen wiper asking owner if ever selling let me know.
Many years later i went to a house to do a quote...i drove around the corner and in the driveway was the lj!!
After looking at the job...i asked if torana was for sale...the old lady said she was no longer able to drive it due to no power steering and her age...we made a deal..and i made her a promise to do it justice....17 years later...its finally in getting the full go over and i cant wait to sit behind the wheel again..end of year hopefully.

Think I've had my lc gtr 22 years...registered roller no engine.
Lost license before got it so had to put it in mother's name for some weird rta reason.
Bit sad trying to revive it having been ripped off on it a few times by mongrels.
