Hi Everyone!
I just found this forum today and thought Id post you a pic of my Aussie GTO, I love it! Just one question, why do you refer to your GTOs as "Goats"?

Back in the '60s when the original GTOs were introduced....people called them "goats" because GTO sorta resembled an abbreviation for the word. They also used to say that it stood for "gas, tires and oil"....but we ALL know it really stands for "Gran Tourismo Omlogato" (or however you spell it) lol. Welcome to the forum. Nice car!

I think it's cool that even though we are in 2 different hemispheres and thousands of miles apart we can still enjoy basically the same vehicle.

Can I get a cheers for Australia? :)
