Hey guys,

Not Bellett-related but certainly with an Isuzu bent (Isuzu enough for the "Bellett Chat" area, I feel)....

Please grab yourselves an issue of the latest Street Machine magazine.

In it, there is an 8 page article on the humble Gemini.

Unlike most Street Machine articles that are about modified cars, this one is about the complex and interesting history of the Holden Gemini, its connection with Isuzu and the development that almost saw the Gemini laboured with Vauxhall's feeble 1.2 litre motor!!!

It also goes into some detail about the racing heritage of the Gemini and the other versions that were available overseas.

I seriously suggest you go and buy one to keep!


Cheers,

Oh yeah, and muchos gracias to Brett who helped out immeasurably with the Gemini racing stuff!

Also had some help from Darren O'Neill from Perth who helped in some of the international Gemini areas...although he opened a can of worms when he emailed me a picture of a "General Motors Holden Philippines" build plate on a LHD Isuzu Gemini!!!
