Holden Sandman, 1977. The most iconic of all Australian panel vans was the Sandman that was based on multiple "H" generation Holden Utes from the HQ in 1974 through to the HZ ending in 1980 (HX is pictured). They were colloquially referred to as "Shaggin' Wagons" due to their popularity with young heterosexual couples. They came with the GTS sports instrumentation, a sports steering wheel, bucket seats, and the exterior consisting of rally wheels with the "Sandman" Logo painted on B pillars and body side stripes. The name was revived for a concept panel van based on the VU series Commodore in 2000 but it never made it into production
A word to the wise, it doesn't matter how chill a guy may be. They could be the chillest, kindest, most shirt-off-their-back kind of person, but like anyone else, they have a limit. And there are few things more terrifying than when that person finally hits that limit.
Especially if they're a mellow space dinosaur and they caught wind of you slandering their slug BFF/Confidant/It's Complicated. You might as well go shopping for a coffin before they and their tagalong lizard-monkey-gremlin figure out where you live.
So...one post ago, I brought up a great upcoming indie project known as @latgbg (btw, you outta support it to when the time comes), and how I was going to do a fanart of it very soon. Well, a promise is a promise.
Seriously though, I can't emphasize enough how adorable Siona and Davin are when @starteas draws them together. A "sensitive and spunky" pair where one half is a good-natured reptile AND the sensitive one? Sign me the heck up!
As always, enjoy and let me know what you think! And here’s the link to the sign-up to the show’s Backerkit for those interested: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/c83f9df0-a826-4a9c-9430-1360b99dbb2d/landing
327 goes into… just about everything: Part 4 Holden Monaro GTS 327, 1968. The HK series was Holden's first Monaro Coupé. It was available with locally produced straight 6 engines and Holden's own 253ci V8 but at the top of the range came the imported small block 327ci V8 rated at 250hp with a 4-speed manual gearbox.
