    20 years of muscle... My focus is drawn to top row, 3rd along from the left. The 88 Astra SV1800. PURE MUSCLE! And correct me if im wrong, i havent seen VS Clubsport.

    One of my favs though, The GTO 255 and the GTS 300 Coupe's.

    Tis not EVERY model HSV. Its missing quite a few such as the HSV jackaroo, the vs clubby, the GTO LE or the normal 6L GTO etc.

    Its just a very large selection missing out on a few that look the same (VS clubby looks the same as VR clubby...GTO 6L 297 looks the same as the first GTO Coupe etc.) and a few they didnt have decent pictures of I guess.

    Surely they couldnt taken out the Astra and replaced it with something more... less girly. It says 20 years of Muscle, what astra has ever had muscle.

    Good poster though, how big is it? I might go grab one.

    I have to agree with you on the Astra, they should drop it from the list. Well its $8.50 from newsagents for the zine, its 2 A4 pages side by side, I scanned them and joined them into one A3 sized page, looks better I printed one at work in high quality and am guna frame it.
