I know which car I'd rather be in too...

...the police pack VH Valiant...
Probably got a 265 hemi 2BBL putting out more mumbo than that GT...

Should I show my age and say that I used to watch this show all the time back then..?

EDIT: Hmm...then I got to the bit in his driveway when he took off a racing harness...and was fiddling with the twin carbs. Modified a bit. The credits say it was supplied by "Challenge Motors, Ascot Vale". Wonder what ever happened to it...?

...but it's still no Valiant...

I just clicked for a quick look, haven't got time to watch now, but I always thought Matlock was an American series?

Love the body roll . My first car was a VH Valiant Regal . That footage took me back. Mine used to get that much body roll the float use to stick in the carby and it would die , then once it righted it self away we would go again . Stability control !!
