Saggy was 'upgraded' when the LJ was released I think

I would like to say fact but from what I know of Colin Bond he only would have done that if it was part of a race.

Unless you count when the bridge is down?

Craig, I believe it is fact, although I can't seem to find anything on it... I remember seeing it on our local news years ago... From memory he was driving a Ford Escort Rally Car, and it was publicity for something.. (maybe Coffs Harbour Rally) .. Maybe someone can ask him at ToranaFeat..

But I believe it is Fact.. and you know I'm never wrong... well, I thought I was wrong once, but it turned out I was mistaken ... :tease:

Different styling and it could have been a totally different story.

A nicer colour and black interior with highlights would have got a much better response and who knows?

I don't know who had the great idea to make the ultimate muscle car a bright purple with white interior.

I said ish because even though I full well knew what you were talking about, A lot of people, Me included, will questions the "Torananess" of the car.

Sure it was badged a Torana, but really, was it?

Hence the ish. Technically fact. But still....ish.

I'm going to say this and expect some criticism. I think it's a very nice car. I'd own it no hassles at all. Even in the colors it is I see what u r saying though. Most will agree it's no where near what a Torana should be.
