I disagree with the value of the GTS 327 in relation to the XT GT. In my observation over the last 20 years is a good GTS 327 was always worth more that the same XT GT. It is the phase III and XY that everyone holds value against, to the point that a good

If Warren has a system of judging cars. As we all know he is one of the recognised and respected authorities in all things Monaro. Was he not there ?. If not why not.

Where you even invited to attend this years event Warren ?

Holden Muscle Car Fan, I agree

When i went to collect my goodie bag on the Friday I asked how many entrants there were. I was informed that due to the size of the oval (the cricket wicket in the middle didnt help) they had to cut the numbers to about 260.

We had a Perth member regi

The Americans are having similar problems now that the sport has become bigger.Some clubs have a surivor or barn class for cars that are not restored so therefore the shiny paint does not become a factor.Do we have a barn class? Do we have enough cars for

well said Rick! The members that left to form another club may have been better to stay at the MCOV that they obviously still love (otherwise all this would not be happening) and try to change things for the better.
It would have happened in the end.

Jim, the XC GXL is the GT model(Ford got rid of the GT name, but the GXL shares the GT code in its id and was the "official" GT replacment) so should be compared to the HZ GTS. And when you do this comparison, the HZ beats it hands down.

John Branagan, Dont know where you got your facts from, but Jimmy drove 2 cars down from Mackay, his 327 HK and his CV8. Both were at the show and shine. I drove down as well. Get your fact right before you start the *******.

Geez guys. Regardless of who is right or wrong and without predjudice or taking sides, this is well on the way to sounding (smelling, looking etc) like a Netball committee disagreement, or an argument over the running of the church fete between Gladys who
