The name 'Monaro' is of aboriginal origin, meaning a high plateau or high plain. There is something distinctive about this place and the landscape and the people. The Holden 'Monaro', first developed in 1968 as a distinctive Australian 'muscle car', was named after the Monaro Region and an image of the Monaro landscape which fitted the car. Monaro torque talks the language of the car. This language talks the life and landscape of the Monaro region. So readers that's Monaro torque. I'm sure in it's day, the Holden Monaro was at home on the streets and gravel roads of the Monaro landscape. It must have been a pretty impressive sight travelling the high plateau and high plains but to be honest I'm sort of glad the Holden Monaro has moved on. I think I prefer a different type of horsepower and torque these days.....I think I prefer Monaro horse torque, a Monaro torque that has been cutting a pretty impressive sight across the Monaro high plains and plateau for 3 generations or more. It looks like horse power, horse torque will continue for a few more generations yet. Can't be a bad thing.
Li Po would have had something to say about this for sure, and Henry and Banjo, for that matter too. Cheers.
