Default Re: Holden but interesting read

I remember my dad sitting mainly on 80mph on the highways mainly back in 1970's and that was in a 6cyl Holden's just taking it easy a 186 HR and a 173 HQ and around 80 to 90mph in a 245 Valiant and 90mph all the time in a 1971 LTD Galaxie towing a trailer full of crap it just floated along like nothing at all and that was Rocky to Brisbane trips a lot.

Not many cars on the roads back in them days.

I had a 1988 Kawasaki ZX10 Ninja and I just took it easy cruse along on 240KM/H on the double lanes Bris to Nambour easy as pie and as safe as, but not now I would never do that as to many cars and drivers nowadays are shocking, not to mention that I am to old to be bothered with such anymore. Had it up to 10500RPM one night top gear late at night due to the cops.
