Default Photo of Monaro trying to be a Falcon GT

I took this shot on the weekend - not the usual paint job that I know of.

There was a Monaro at the Holden dealer in Dandenong a few weeks back. It was yellow and had the exact same stripes as the GT's in black. Couldn't help but laugh.

I saw one like that as well. Maybe it's the same car. Not very original. Imagine if someone stuck a set of XW or XY GT stripes (complete with SuperRoo logos) on an old-school Monaro. This is basically the equivalent.

Lots of Holdens seem to be catching on to superior Ford styling elements :

There's a VX Clubsport replica near me, V8, painted Blueprint! And it definitley is Blueprint, I've seen it next to a BA XR6 in Blueprint.. and the colours looked identicle.

I remember seeing a Monaro at the Bathurst 24 hr which was Blue and had white stripes going across on it, more Cobra style actually.

I use a fair bit of electrical tape at work, this sort of thing is just going to waste (not specifically aiming at this owner either).
