Tim. I have been going through all my motor manual and wheels mags for the scoop on the new fB Holden. Driving around Lang Lang I think. First photos. Was that a black Standard?

I just remembered, back in the early 80s, one night on Parramatta Rd, Homebush maybe, sitting at the lights with Val Domotor maybe, in my turquoise ek with hot 179,spats, blinds
and other stuff, when a Black FB standard with a lumpy idle and chrome wheels, and those SA numberplates with all numbers pulled up beside me. I said something like "Watch this Hole Shot! Then that FB blasted off so fast that I thought I'd stalled! I revved mine so hard that the fan blew back on the temp sender wire which touched the head and made the light come on (Shift light?) I drove home that night with my tail between my legs in my SLOW car!

Tim. Mr Harrod is flying into SUNNY Brisbane at 430 Thursday arvo. We are going to pick him up, then up to the Acacia ridge for tea. We're giving him a car so he'll be out and about. I don't know which one. I knock off at 1230 friday so I'll see you some time friday arvo maybe or friday night. Cheers for the wheels, I think it's my turn to give you something!

Tim Great story mate. Great persistance!
Years ago I used to drive regularily drive past a yard with a few old holdens parked behind a shed. I asked mates who lived nearby to get the guys details. After a few months I ran into a guy in the pub who knew who owned them. After a big night and way too many beers, I forgot everything the bloke had told me and forgot about the cars. With too many jobs at home and struggling with my own project I put them to the back of my mind for "another day". A few months back I was heading north to go Pig hunting and remembered about the "black beast" and sure enough she was still there with her friends. On the way home I sat at that chain mail fence trying to remeber who owned them and searching for a phone number. Being slightly worse for wear and obviously not realising the significance of the old girl, I thought "maybe another day" and trundled off home.

Anyway my loss. Good luck mate and great score! Cant wait to see the resto. Cheers Doller

PS Lesson learnt, drink less and query every old car you see!
