I may be American (United States) by birth and residence, but I still have an admiration and respect for Australia and New Zealand. And hopefully, I'll be able to fly down there before I die.

Agree with what your saying there carnut_73.

I don't generally use the word "Jap" to describe the Japanese. Contrary to what it sounds like, I have no dislike against the Japanese people.

I call it a damn shame that Holden is no longer producing cars in Australia. Competition from other car companies and countries can be a good thing, what's not a good thing is when you sit back and do nothing to improve your product while the competition continues to improve on the product, leaving you with the same basic product you had back in 1971. You may change the appearance of a car, but the mechanics of the car hasn't improved. While the Japs do the same basic thing, only better.

G'day Fletch. Another awesome show! It looks like a ripper event. Quite a collection of Holdens and GM vehicles. :)

Hey Fletch, a very cool episode, thank you again.
I might be a Ford man but I'm also an unbiased Aussie,
and there were some sweet Holden rides at Taranaki Holden Club's display.

I saw 'your' Test Pattern jacket Blinkie, (couldn't miss it)
I doubt that Fletch would part with it now though mate ! (lol)
.
Fletch, was that your car in the closing scene ?

Seriously, the Kiwi's passion for classic cars never fails to amaze me.

Fletch you thief! now I know who's got and been wearing my blazer then, way cool!!! That was one awesome show there Fletch mate. We must of just missed each other bro did see you but not close enough to speak. I think you must just about be a Naki boy buy now though mate. That FB was real nice though so were the rest of them on display both inside and outside.
Cheers and thanks mate once again.
