“HERE are some pics of my daily driver. I’d
been driving a HiLux mini-truck for a long
time, which has served me well (racing,
motocross etc). But I got sick of only seeing
4WDs and Camrys in traffic; I had some mint,
cool old Holdens back in the day, but I was
driving a Toyota, so I was part of the problem,

right? So last year I got this, a full grandpa-
spec HZ Kinger. I’ve fixed up tons of little
things so I can drive it every day, including
tucking the exhaust up out the way so I could
get the ride height how I wanted it. She
drives beautifully, and the kids love it! Now
let’s just hope it’s as reliable as a HiLux!”

“I BOUGHT my ’57 about 15 years ago
from a guy in Beechboro, WA. It was an
American import, running a Blue Flame six
with a three-on-the-tree. The plan was to
do a complete body-off-chassis rebuild,
and after five years’ work it now runs a
454 big-block, backed by a Turbo 400.


The exterior paint is Venetian Red, while
inside there’s full leather trim and electric
windows. Rims are 18x9 on the front and
18x10 out back. A huge thanks to my
brother Gino, who gave up his weekends
in my factory, Angelo for the interior, Eddie,
and my wife Tanya.”
