Holden Monaro

We're going to the replay.

Mum, Dad and us, four kids aged between 7 and 14, piled into Dad's Monaro for the long trip down the Pacific Highway.

Got to see Manly smash the Sharks and even got to go to the Leagues Club afterwards to catch a glimpse of Alan Thompson, Graeme Eadie and Russell Gartner.

So that grand final is a Saturday afternoon.

the sum of money? Cha-ching.

Yeah, we'd have listeners, Sammy, that would have these Monaros or whatever it is, Holden HQs that are pristine.

They sold them for a couple of grand, I'm sure, at some stage.

Now, they'd be worth ten times that.

We had inch and a half SUs on the side that worked with MTV needles and seats and everything else.

Used to run away from 302 Feltons, 308 Monaros.

My brother had a 308 GT in his runaway.

As soon as it got into second gear, it was gone.

So good.

And then I've got my Holden collection.

I've got this half a dozen GDS Monaros in there and a GT Falcon.

How

Phil, what would you like to know? G'day, Phil.

How are you, mate? Yeah, I've got a 2004 Monaro.

I've had it since brand new.

It's never been thrashed or flogged.

Yeah.

You ever heard of a V8 Monaro?

Yeah, sure have.

The only one I've ever heard of was a bloke in Queensland owned it.

He built it.

So they weren't V8s, the Monaros?

No, the Monaro had a V8, but one bloke in Queensland built a V8, a V12.

Right.

Oh, so look, we, we'll go Australian.

We, uh, yeah, we'll go, uh, Monaro, Chargers, uh, Toranas, the whole lot.

Yeah.

Who'd you sell a, a Charger to famous?

Not allowed to say.

Okay.

Sign me a Monaro though.

His initials are JP.
