Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I had a CAT badge on a yellow VE SS. Can't tell you the number of people who asked if was a diesel. I may have ,erm, accidentally let the words 'secret trial' slip....
The normal radio networks gave patchy reception out west so our cars had HF frequency transceivers. The aerials were great fun at McDonalds drive throughs....took a few kays off terminal velocity, though.
A good mates dad was a policeman in Melbourne and ended up working in the workshops. One of his jobs was to run in the new cars. I always enjoyed those stories, cars dating back to XY Falcons with GT running gear. When he retired the VN's had just been introduced.
He still thinks the VL turbos were the quickest cars he drove, much better handling without the 5lt out front. I'm not sure if they wound up the boost though, I must ask him next time I see him.
I would like to hear a few more stories ringfeeder.
