5000s were always great, even in Can-Am drag. There were always different chassis, engines, and drivers. If you were lucky enough to catch Scheckter or Alan Jones, or even James Hunt, you still remember.

Was it higher RPM or just open exhaust? Either way, these machines are mental and the vibrations that go through your body are way more impressive than just the sound. If I win the lottery... Nah I'm too old now.😊

There’s obviously a great number of enthusiasts that build and respect these older cars but unfortunately I think there’s a greater number of Flogs that outweighs the enthusiasts that destroy the image and also these shows by doing burnouts and just to be a pain in the arse.

This is a fantastic video and I love footage like this, especially when it's well narrated like yours. It's amazing to think that 3 years on, Queenscliff (originally retired in October 2021) and Freshwater (under renovation when this was filmed) are still in daily service. Narrabeen, originally retired in June 2021, is set for drydock in June; her and Collaroy are currently stored behind Cockatoo Island. Collaroy was retired on September 27, 2023 is yet to be given a fate.

It’s pathetic that GMH doesn’t exist any longer. I don’t care that it was uneconomical to maintain. They should have found a way to keep Holden going in some capacity because it part of the Australian psyche, culture DNA. Australia needs manufacturing badly.
@tomnewham12699 ай бұрын
Australia does have a manufacturing industry. Four from different brands are being converted from left hand drive on top of that Mack, Kenworth and Volvo all build trucks here. We make farm implements that are being exported to the USA and cochlear ear implants. We manufacture ships in WA and will soon manufacture submarines again. In regards to Holden, why should it have stayed. If the public bought enough of the Holden product, then Holden may still exist. Clearly most people don't hold the same view as you and I'm sure they definitely don't want their tax payer money being wasted propping up a business that sells cars that nobody wants.
@charliegrech55987 ай бұрын
@@tomnewham1269 Well let’s agree to disagree on why Holden should have been retained. When it comes to manufacturing in Australia. Ok that’s great they are doing those trucks as you have pointed out. However that is minuscule to what used to be made in Australia. Eg; •GMH, had 3 plants •Ford •Chrysler •Mitsubishi •Toyota •Additionally we built power station (ICAL) Babcock and will cock. •Complete truck manufacturing, not just conversions. •diesel and electric locomotives at the Clyde Engineering Co, Comeng •heavy Mining equipment. • one of the current real manufacturing companies still existing is Weir Minerals at Artarmon firmly known as Warman International They have a. Foundry, moulds, tooling and machinery and sone engineering, however being diluted. All the above included design , R&D and engineering I could go on, however you get the picture. I could go on

@@tomnewham1269The unions and the labor govt destroyed Australia’s car manufacturing industry. Excessive wage & condition demands, along with poor management by Holden & Ford played a big part in their parent companies pulling the pin. The AWU wouldn’t even allow Toyota to speak to their own employees, thank Bill Shorten for that.
