Had an old white HG wagon for a few years - 161 with 3spd column shift & what a wicked old girl she was , you could fit heaps in the back & sleep in it piece of piss - even a half decent 4WD if you slipped the clutch properly & let the tyres down .... steering ????? what steering

Love that old pic,love the old surfwagons,as you can tell by my name,haha.very cool!
couple of good fc's in the background to,panno & wagon!..

Hey 68, owned 3 HKs myself over the years, always wondered how they handle compared to the cars these days, the 186 had plenty of power, but don't think they would go round the corners to well

yep, Tassie, that's park looking up towards the river, looks like this these days.

Hey Riverider,yeah mate they don't handle to well,thats why I lowered mine 2 inches.The only trouble with that is I cant get down some dirt roads that are a bit bumpy,
oh well got the other car for that.My HK's still got her original 186 mate,she aint to fast these days,haha.low & slow..Do you mind if I use your Pic for an Old holden forum?..

Tassiedevel

Hasn't changed much, had just as many drop ins back then.

Which one is 2 MT

Here he is, the one on the left

Hasn't changed much in I am guessing about 30 years

loving his new watersports tas paddles can't decide which one is the best the bamboo shaft or the carbon fibre . Really liked the old bamboo paddle but the new ones are better again .
