That's a bit of a step back in time!

If my memory serves me well, that monaro cracked a couple of windscreens when it launched.
I might be a Dinosaur (and bloody proud of it, lived on the edge through the best years of street machining), but I rather push my Holden than drive a rice burner with hair dryer

That car was originally the Peter D'Allesandro prostocker called Leprechaun.

And the car still exists!!!

Matt and I were at Benaraby at easter last year when a monaro came out which the announcer stated was the ex Leprechaun.
