My dad has a Genuine XU1 Torana. I will be watching this . It will be on DVD more then likely later on though as the " Billion Dollar Baby" was released on to DVD.

[auzvectra]

my list would have the 74 Hq statey that i had to get rid of before i could restore it with the certified factory "bathurst" 350 chev ;).
and of coarse my dad's old GENUINE (by that i mean the limited number, not the 500 extra's they released) group a group 3 brockie :D, unbeatable in it's time. well this 1 was ;).

they are still good in theory, n look hot, but dont think i'd want to drive ne of them nemore, too rough :p.
as for the handling, hahaha.

I'll have to check, but hopefully it's on at that time here in Melb. I should be back home in time on Saturday to view that, after my 2nd and much longer TTS test drive this Saturday :D

Otherwise I'll just have to tape it :)

Why ???

At the time of offering it was for free with any Holden vehicle purchase, so no losses to whoever has it - they've benefited in the mean time ;)

So did I damn, even though I'd checked and prepared for it, it was on channel 9 at 4:30pm yesterday afternoon here in Melb. too, I forgot to set my recorder DOH :doh: :o

Anyone else see it - either a quick or thorough review please :)

Yup it was all about "the Commodore" and how good and amazing they are, you didnt miss out on anything. The whole show basically was just playing back old TV ads and footage.

I still would've loved to have seen and made a permanent recording of it...:(

I've owned Holdens (mainly Commodores and Toranas) for most of my driving life, so it would've been worthwhile viewing for me, might have to go and check the ABC shop, see if there's an official video release of it...

Wheels Mag might have it attached to their next publication. They did that with the "Million Dollar Baby" DVD.

Hmmmm, could possibly make a copy of mine and send it to you...

When I get some time I'll dig it up (can't remember where I've got it) and see if it can be copied :)
