What a race, a Torana was a great car just about makes you cry watching this. This was the best racing not that crap these days

@BorkenGarage Год назад

Before "parity" was important. You're losing? Well make your car faster then....

@billmago7991 6 месяцев назад

Best ever Aussie car for looks and performance

@cv8z632 2 года назад

I can't believe the front end size difference of the Ford coupes and Toranas on the grid. Awesome stuff.

@BorkenGarage 2 года назад

Yeah the back end was way bigger on the Fords too...One of the best looking grids ever I think.

@ianrawlings2546 2 года назад

People, understandably, love Monaro's, GTHO's etc, but I think the A9X is the best looking Aussie car ever made. Hard to beat the fast back, reverse air scoop and classic front grill. And the 308 V8! But the original 351 Ford Cobra's pretty close second.

@BorkenGarage 2 года назад

Not in 78, they were WAAAAAy back lol. I get what you mean, they are pretty cool too.Pretty impressive what they did in 77.

@markcras8508 Год назад

Aarrgghhh the good ol days

@BorkenGarage Год назад

Yeah when every car was different

@CalaisRider 3 года назад

Wow after all these years even before the A9X was developed, I never knew the reason behind the number "05". I'm 62 years of age and been a go fast car person almost all of my life.

@BorkenGarage 3 года назад

Brocky was doing promotional work for the Victorian Government and telling people to stay under .05 Blood alcohol limit when they are driving. Hence the 05 on his car.

@zoltrix7779 2 года назад

Serious! I thought it was pretty well known!

@timmartinl7855 2 года назад

@@BorkenGarage on some Western Australia it was .08 later on it was down the legal limit was 05 even back then are you it was 05 in Victoria I knew that o5 was was the drinking limit in Victoria and I knew y Peter Brock always knew why Peter Brock had that on his cars the legal drinking limit

had an LH SLR replica back in the late 80s, was the coolest car i ever owned

@BorkenGarage 3 года назад

...so far....its never too late.

@zoltrix7779 2 года назад

Its amazing what looks cool and how it actually is to live with. I've given up, old race cars are cool. Old roadcars of that era are really terrible without modernsing.

That was absolutely wonderful mate. I often wonder if Harry Firth had any idea what a devastating effect his brain child the A9X would have on the race track.

@BorkenGarage 3 года назад

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. Harry was back on the dark side by 78 I think, so he was fighting against his only brilliance lol.

@chrish4469 3 года назад

@@BorkenGarage Harry become some sort of scrutineer after he left HDT. He told George Sheppard in '78 that the HDT Toranas didn't comply with the rules. George asked how did he know, Harry said that he knows because he built them. Harry later said that as a team manager was his job to get around the rules if you can, And as a scrutineer it's his job to make sure that the cars comply with the rules. He wasn't call the fox for nothing. He never went back to the dark side as you put it.
