Agree with that 100%.....When i went to the Summernats this year, there were people creaming themselves over late model Commodores and i'm just thinking, it's just a bloody late model Commodore. Who cares?? Anyone can go buy one, so whats so good about it? I don't really stop to look at anything post WB Holden though....It has to be a REALLY nice Commodore for me to stop & look.
Yerppppp I like old school. Sound better, dont look like a bubble and dont have all that safety bullshit with all fancy electric seats and buttons.
looks tough as nails!!! but has anyone ever tried driving one? go try and sit in the coffee tin in the cupboard, just the same!! no seriously, i worked on one last year, im not big, but im bigger than the customer, and he had the indicator stalk replaced with a tek screw to clear his knee, and i had to brake with my left foot, glad it was an auto!! i only drove it in and out of the workshop, and even that was too much.
good headturning: something clean or sounds good... i dont give a **** if it has 22" inch's etc etc, but if i saw a (example) vn exec, resprayed with black bumpers, tinted windows and nothing TO out there, there i will look the other day i actually saw a realllllly clean toyota corona, clean factory paint respray with flakes put into it and everything looked so new, like it came off the factory floor.. i couldn't stop looking bad headturning: when your in a car with a shitload of ugly accessories(rice) OR they think your a hoon haha.... but to me, clean = head turner...
i think a head turner means something different like if you see kombi van (and i F-ing hate kombi vans) go past on 18" rims you look unlike a wanker in a done up commodore (like i can talk) you don't even give them the satisfaction of smiling at them lol.
ya wanna know the defenition of head turner ? i remember the day my dad bought the purvis eureka it was on the back of a tow truck and we weere going home ....... we pulled up to a round about and this guy on a moped wouldnt stop staring and he stacked his moped into a car and fell off couldnt stop laughing for half an hour after that haha
I know I get a fair few people look at my car, I notice when I drive on the freeway and I can see people coming the other way have a good look, but when I see some of the head turners in this post I feel humbled, that Corvette is beautiful
Yeh, a blown big block chev with zoomies on it will do that.....It was cruising around at the Summernats, what an engine...Would be sooo much better if it was in a decent car though. :thumbsup:
HK munro.. OMGZ now thats a head turner.. whether its clean as a cucumber or looking like the bloke who owns it should sell it to me... NOW... oh wait.. the latter is all of them anything that can be counted as a muscle car... as long as its clean is a head turner.. with the exception of most commodores.. gotta be a freakin sweet one to really justify a second glance though... also cars with real style, individuality or just plain bad ass piece of automotive ingenuity... this is basically what happens when a neat HK comes by.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4&feature=related ^^ srz.
I was watching the news the other night (as we all are about the fires) and they were looking inside a garage and I spotted something, my heart just sank, the metal frame of a HK Munro burnt out, bugger :cry: On a lighter note, a head turner is just personal taste. I love mostly old cars, comaros, mustangs, HQ - WB utes, LJ GTR's and soforth. For me a headturner is a nice clean debaged car, dark tint, nice note from a v8 and a nice set of wheels. I am not into out of the bonnet blowers (prefer under bonnet types) Each to their own though.
i gotta get a pic of it, but theres a hg/k ute getting around here in red oxide primer, on its ass, gilmer belt drive(i think, soulds like one), loud as hell, and plates ISJUNK. ive stared both times ive seen it so far, once passing it on the highway to work, and today at work, where i heard it before i saw it!!
I find cars that are head turners are usually ones with a loud exhaust or subs, mostly because you hear them coming... Other than that theres a car I saw drive past my house and I was like OMG! It looked immaculate. I THINK It was some form of new monaro, Black, most likely from Canberra. I have never seen anything like it before. Other than that Red cars/utes usually get a second look from me... Might google an see if I find a pic of what I mean...
I think I know a video that can please you and the Monaro fans all at once YouTube - Boobs Out burnout
