Hey everyone, just new to this forum and I am a lover of old Holdens. I am a proud owner of a bronze 1966 HR Premier, that needs a little body work. However, it is my baby and I love her dearly, she is my pride and joy and I feel like a million dollars in her, however, I have plans of keeping her as stock standard as she came off the assembly line and want to restore her.
I hope to get some tips and knowledge from the site as I work on her, as I am not much of a mechanic. My HR is licenced and I do drive her to work everyday.
Good to be part of the site.
Cheers.
Heya

Hi there
Welcome to the club. My hubby Brett (V8EATER) loves his old holdens with a passion too. Im going to steal his limelight, he has a HJ Premi Wagon waiting to be brought back to life - She is in excellent condition, just have big plans for her.
He bought me a HB Torana for our 2yr aniversary, so she is my project waiting for restoration.
He also has a very rare gem awaiting restore, a 1947 Holden Pontiac Silver streak.
Anyway those are my favourite cars but we have others.
Anyway, If you have any questions Im sure there will be someone to answer them.
Hope to see you around at some events.

yo nice to have more members see u on a cruise
Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do. Don't drink and drive, you might hit a bump and spill your drink. You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. Stay busy, get plenty of exercise, and don't drink too much. Then again, don't drink too little. Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time. One reason I don't drink is that I want to know when I am having a good time. A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine, except that on a day without sunshine you can still get drunk. I stopped drinking, but only when I sleep. This is one of the disadvantages of wine: it makes a man mistake words for thought. Cigarettes and coffee: an alcoholic's best friend !!!! When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they always worked for me. The consumption of alcohol may cause pregnancy. A man who exposes himself when he is intoxicated, has not the art of getting drunk. A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory. I drink to forget I drink. Alcohol is necessary for a man so that he can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed be the facts. Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water. The whole world is about three drinks behind. I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
