mechanic - Now, that is memories.

I live in a petrol head zone and every now and then hear a big V8 motor that 'growls, hisses and snarls.'
They make me think of an angry bear.

The only Holden I ever saw in person was at a car show. Early 70's model by the looks of it.

I learned to drive by renting one of these in Rome using my US motorcycle license. Getting out of the city was like flying among Kamikaze planes.

that's one way to learn to drive, and one city I won't drive in. Drivers in Rome are just plain crazy.

I heard a stat. many years ago that a new car in Rome takes an average of about 4hrs from driving it out of the lot to getting a scratch or a dent.

the  Pre 2006 Pontiac GTO is a re-badged Holden, same with the Chevrolet SS (2012)

GM has been selling Holdens in the US for eons

Learnt in a 4 door Datsun 120Y.

First car a beaten up '69 MGB that I slowly did up and then wrote off in a big  way.

Smashed a borrowed 3 day old Suzuki 800 Hatch a month later - straight through a stop sign and into the side of a hotted up 70's Falcon - both were written off.

Had a bright yellow '73? HQ Monaro while I owned the MGB but didn't like it and traded it after 6 weeks for a '69 Ford Capri V6.
Smashed the Capri a couple of months after smashing the Suzuki.

Less than one year after getting off my Ps and a rather angry magistrate took my license off me.

I've mainly had motorcycles as my main form of transport since.

I learned to drive in an AP6 Valiant ute with 3 on the column in the late 1960s.

First car - 1958 FC Holden (a paddock-basher).

First DECENT car - 1956 Vauxhall Velox, bought 1977  because I got sick of riding my
motorcycle to work for wet early-morning (5.30am) starts in winter.

Since then I've owned several Holdens, EK (2), EJ (2), HD, HR (2), HT, and a number
of Fords, XM, XT, XA, XB and 3 Fairlanes (2 x ZB and 1 x ZG 351).

And another Velox, this time a 1952.

There have also been a few 'odd ones' such as a 1936 Chevy, 1960 Hillman s/w, 1960
Humber Super Snipe (VERY nice!) and probably a few more that I've forgotten...  Tongue Shocked Shocked

For much of that time, I also continued to ride motorcycles.

Here's the XA and a couple of the Fairies...

I'm a menace in cars. I still crash them. On a bike I take the view that it's all down to me with nobody but my self to blame if I am involved in an accident. Also that if I do have a big accident then the chances are I won't walk away like I have done previously with cars.
