Hi all,
To update and end this thread from a while ago, I may have just done a bad thing in the eyes of the HSV world.
I'm driving back from London with something big, black and older than me on the back of the truck!!!
Apologies in advance and I'll start a new thread later to explain myself

Friend of mine bought this at the weekend, replaced a yellow Monaro CV8 S/C and seems happy
Vauxhall Victor? 
Hope he's still growing his chillis.
I always fancied an opel diplomat V8

Thought it was a 69 chevelle there for a tick..
Im too sensible. I would love an old school big block.
But they are just not daily drivers.
Late model muscle has it sown up Im afraid.
Nice Camaro, Challenger, HSV etc all good to me.
The convenience of RHD kind of means the HSV is the best option.
If I spend I want to use it as much as possible. tens of thousands of miles a year.. You cant do that with the old stuff. Its just too much hassle and uncomfortable. Let alone the shocking MPG.
Very valid points Richard, HSV all the way for me, mine isn't a daily driver but i can get in it anytime and just drive any where without thinking what if......Im too sensible. I would love an old school big block.

When i first had my charger on the road, it did 8 mpg. Though it does 15 now, but i did throw the holley away to achieve it!
I'm pretty sure it could do with a tune up as it does smell a bit rich. This has a Holley!?I've gotta say I'm quite suprised at the fuel consumption. Luckily it's a sunny day car...
cant wait to see it Jamie
last trip out wasn't very far .................

sounds a bit like my Ranchero Ute, I just keep topping the fuel after a few trips out and put £15/£20 in it, then the fuel cons doesn't seem so bad, but think its doing about 14/15 mpg.

Haha, judging by that pic, you really do hate Fcant wait to see it Jamie

d's don't you JB? I need to find somewhere to take the car to make sure the carbs are setup correctly I think. This might help with the 'petrol smell' issue and maybe even the mpg, or that could just be how it is/was 40 odd years ago?
