Took the LJ to Toranarama in Marburg, QLD with a trip to the Bowdens thrown in over the weekend. 2064km round trip and apart from a flat-only been on the car for 4 ####ing days-tyre and losing a mudflap, the car didn't miss a beat.
Stole this pic off the phtographers fb page:

At the show there was a TA with a Corolla engine, an LC towing a matching caravan-got a pic of this somewhere as it was at Toranafest last year, and one of our blokes has a mint UC budgie SL/E.

That's all the 4 bangers I can think of...so not many lol...most of the cars had the right number of cylinders :boxing:

Not the Munro, but it's my thread so if ya don't like it, EAD lol

Got new tyres on the LJ yesterday, spent a few hours today on it and it's ready for the trip to QLD tomorrow.

Hey hangman,

My mate used to have an LJ four door in that colour. It had a 202 and four speed and I think it might have been an SL. It always looked like it should have been used by the army - the color was so similar to military khaki. Do you know what it's called?

Regarding the lack of four cylinder Torana's on the run, it just goes to show how unpopular they were, and how people didn't see much value in keeping them in good nick. Even when they were new, they were completely overshadowed by the sixes and were a bit of a joke because they were so gutless.

Hey mate, mine is Balmoral green. My first LJ was Dublin Green Metallic which is sort of similar:

Having owned a stock HB and a UC budgie, they were definitely underpowered...
