Chris Riley has been a journalist for 40 years. He has spent half of his career as a writer, editor and production editor in newspapers, the rest of the time driving and writing about cars both in print and online. His love affair with cars began as a teenager with the purchase of an old VW Beetle, followed by another Beetle and a string of other cars on which he has wasted too much time and money. A self-confessed geek, he’s not afraid to ask the hard questions - at the risk of sounding silly.

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.
