From The Editor

Hello and welcome to the December 2016 edition of Holden Torque. December is upon us
already. A great day was had at the Christmas Party / Trophy Day. Congratulations to all the
trophy winners and all those that brought their cars out to display. They looked superb all
together at Patterson Park. A big thank you to all those that keep putting in the extra effort
that makes this day so successful and enjoyable. With the festive (silly) season upon us
please take a little extra care when getting around. Have a safe and Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.
Enjoy your Read
