Just look at all the builds that cross the board on this site. IMHO.
    I think the Austrailian's might think a Holton modified with a big block constitutes Hot Rod, just as much as a zooped up 57 chevy!
    And yes I call my 1977 Holden Torana,1970 Holden Monaro and the wife's 1964 EH Holden Hot rods. Some clown at work told me the other day that there not Hot rods. I told him thats his opinion . And he's welcome to keep it to himself.

    Sorry about the typo. You got the gist of what I meant! Spelling isn't my greatest strength!

    My Dad told me a loooong time ago that opinions are like ass-holes, everyone has one but it's usually a good idea to keep yours to yourself. So I agree with you 100%. The Holden as well as the 914 are "hot rods". Just my nickels worth. (And my Dads). RIP
    Tomorrow is promised to no one.
