Don't really understand why the prices should go up, they haven't been made any rarer..

Shame to lose him though, a man that lived the dream.

RIP Tom. Love by some, hated by many

Funny thing about the VL SS Group A SV, its tech not a Walkinshaw, same with the VN SS Group A.

I remember when Holden shafted Brocky and this bloke named Walkinshaw came in, took a while to warm to him but no doubt he had the goods to acheive success
