Peter McKay started in journalism writing about rock music, then motor sport, before easing into general motoring at a Holden Sunbird launch in 1976. Not a great start. But went on to edit Motor magazine ever-so-briefly before starting an unbroken freelance career in 1981, around the time of his first of seven Bathurst 1000 starts. Byline has lobbed in Wheels, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Sun-Herald, Sunday Telegraph, The Australian, Top Gear, Australian Penthouse, Motor Trend, F1 Racing, Men’s Health, Inside Sport. Still admits he prefers driving cars to dissecting them.

Favourite Monaro?

Australia said farewell to the Holden Monaro a long time before Holden bid farewell to Australia. The two-door Monaro was manufactured from 1968 to 1975 and later from 2001 to 2005. It was also manufactured as a sedan from 1973 to 1977. The 1977 HX did not include a coupe -- but it's often referred to as a Monaro.
