And I still remember loking at them in the 70's (in Primary school for most of it) and wondering:

Why the f%^k would you do that to such a nice vehicle?

Didn't get it then and still don't get it now when I look at todays equivalent - doof doof asian rubbish with plastic cr@p hanging off it everywhere. I get a great kick out of having them pull up on the inside at 3 lane traffic lights and out sprinting them in a dual cab 4x4 Hilux! We all have to be different though, or we'd all want Monaros, Sandmans and Jennifer Hawkins!
