Idk O, I was very partial to a GTR Torana I once owned. It was an absolute ripper.

I'm still wedded to FCs with a hot grey and three speed crash box! Now that is a car. I also had an XU1 that I enjoyed, but the FC has always had the most character.

I was born 20 days before. A Balmain tragic, I saw 64 and 66 grand final losses. Gut wrenching. Then came 69. What a day. Matched by the 2005 win. Go Wests Tigers
Yes Hal
Funny story my mate had a GTR Tirana but always wanted to swap for my HT sedan when he was going to the drive-in
As I had a reclining front bench seat he would say it’s so much better than the GTR 😆
I bet yourself and my mate wish you still owned that Torana today as I can only imagine the money value in today’s market.
IF ONLY

Good story, and yes foresight is a great thing O, if we had enough of it we’d all be millionaires, cars, real estate etc etc.
I’m happy to report the Torana never hampered my nights at the drive in. Was able to fully enjoy a night at the movies. 🤣🤣🤣

Of course I’ve owned many cars from my first cheap Morris Minor 1000 onwards but the Torana just happened to be my
personal fave.

Hi GP, sounds like we have similar backgrounds. Real tragedy about George at the Codocks Club, a real tough nut in the days when props earns their money.
Welcome aboard and look forward to your input.

What a fantastic era that was when the movies were all wholesome and entertaining, not like the rubbish they make these days.
I'm not
The tigers have been losers for so long that no one chooses to support them.
We need to win for the future of this club

Second best, imo. The 63 EJ is the bomb!

Welcome and congratulations on joining our Forum. Your member name does not go unheralded here as already testified by one of our very astute Forum Members in @Halbrowne61. From a 1961 Balmain tragic, I hope you derive much enjoyment and look forward to your insights in the future.

As much as I hate to admit it...we have lost the kids. I would love to read the results from the same age demographic spread for the Penrith Pamfers. I truly believe the age of the typical Penrith supporter would be considerably younger than ours. It's been 20 years since Benji weaved his magic for our last premiership. Everyone loves a winner and everyone wants to identify with someone of the same ilk. Here's hoping Benji, Richo and the boys can stop the rot.

This isn’t your “typical fan” tho, this is a pretty niche forum something kids nowadays most likely won’t be interested in when there’s social media they already use where they can talk about similar topics but in less detail

I think youre probably right
Discord & FB etc maybe appeals to younger fans
This format is ancient, no smart phones etc when it all kicked off
I remember chatting to a member here a couple of years before we won the comp, we arranged to catch up at a game, he said "Gimmee a call when you get there" I said "Is there a public phone at the ground?"
He said "Dont you have a mobile????

Hey Susie-Q
It is all about the tail lights,
EH looks heaps better than the EJ
Of course that’s my opinion.
Definitely the tail lights, and I love the J! My Dad sides with you. He loves the H's clean lines.
Hubby and I are restoring an EJ. It's taking a lot longer than we first anticipated, but I cannot wait to drive her!
