    Two Holdens? I see an HD wagon, circa 1967, and a Triumph 2500TC circa 1977.

    Pretty much on the button except it was taken in Gill Street, New Plymouth. The tower crane in the background was probably working on the State Insurance Building (now Genesis). Toranas were being driven by Jose' Kanga (sp) and THe French Hell Drivers and were probably near new (HX rego plate).

    With a hill in the background? I think not.

    New Plymouth, Gill Street. H rego on a Torana would place it about 1978.

    Right, It was the L.H. Johnson motors rather than the panel shop in Hawera.

    ahhh, it is amazing what google can do!

    I did know it was around '75 by the plate. When I war a lad the family car was a '75 Cortina with a plate no to far off.

    Best guess of the plate.

    It's actually HX904. That's the red one. It died in 1998.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    No Google about it. R6 kid's father isn't the only one digitizing old photos lately

    The answer must then be: "The good old days" or there abouts.


    In the good old days sex was safe and motorsports dangerous.
    Now it's the exact opposite.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
