Looks similar to Calibra then im thinking later ones. I think the later Monaros were sold in the UK too if I remember correctly? The funny thing is you liking Holdens being an Old Skool Ford man. In Australia that simply isnt done, its like a war that never ends. When I was a kid my step father called me into his room and said he had to give me the talk. I never got the one about sex though it was there are Ford Families and Holden Families and that we were a Ford one and it was not right to associate with Holden ones. I am not kidding and the only other talk I ever got from him was voting Labor not conservative! 1
chinkamon Posted October 4, 2019 Report Posted October 4, 2019 These monaros not the most exciting lookin to some but it stirs something in me, and seeing 1 Bein given some beans around a track 👌 The calibra is similar just wish they had an 8 in them they'd b perfect then. That back end is proper cool in my head
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted October 4, 2019 Moderator Report Posted October 4, 2019 It has simple lines yes but many designers go overboard when they try re-inventing their muscle cars. You can actually buy them in the UK as they were marketed as Vauxhall Monaro's.
PeteRS8084 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Posted October 4, 2019 I had a VXR8 FOR a year,what a machine.........its all about the V8, there is no replacement for displacement as they say!
PeteRS8084 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Posted October 4, 2019 I may just add that the constant visits to the petrol station for the best fuel was a deciding factor in its sale, never did get bored with just how fast it got down tne road, nearly as fast as watching the fuel needle go from full to empty...........happy days! 1

Aussies will put a V8 in anything and everything. Our Buffalo lawns can be tough though. 1

katana Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 That last picture....... Ford Promotions geezer to his manager - Lets attach a huge hang glider to the new Ford Explorer - it'll appeal to the Kids! Manager - How does it get airborne? Promotions guy - Just drive really fast! Manager - And then off the edge of a mountain - Perfect!
HotRodMatt Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 Fair to say it was probably inspired by the Dodge Deora from the '60s. 1
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted October 11, 2019 Moderator Report Posted October 11, 2019 Is "Fully Sick" a good thing or a bad thing?
colr6 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 Now that IS overstepping the mark somewhat, you can certainly connect fully sick with vomiting on that one 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 1
