new member - :)

hey all. newbie here.
greetings from the UK midlands.

I'm a big classic cars fan. and really love the oldsmobiles. been pondering trying to get my hands on one for a long time.
A good friend used to have a a Toronado Coupe, it was late sixties if i remember rightly, something like 66 - 69. Long low and slender. Great classic lines!!

Good luck with it.

Welcome to the site, we have quite a few members from the Euro area. Hopefully an Olds is in your future. Owning a car is not a requirement for this site.

Welcome. Hopefully you can find a good Toro in the UK without too much difficulty. Post any questions you might have. I am sure there are folks that can help.

No way!
He needs to come to the states and buy one here, take a long road trip along Route 66, and then ship it home.

Welcome to the group... Seek and you shall find, I'm sure there is a Toronado out there somewhere just waiting for you to find and bring it home...

I like this opinion a lot cause I found another board, where the people are really pi**ed, that many US cars are shipped to europe. They say, those cars need to stay there... so...

Better to be open minded, we really care about those cars, some barns don't.
