It's been a while

[Graeme / New Zealand]

Hi fellow kiwis,I was Posted to Trentham from 76 to 80, a year or so before I got there they took the camp commadants cars,39deluxe sedan and a 42 deluxe sedan and drove them to upper hutt to a big pit which they drove into the bottom and switched off and got a lift back to camp, this hole was filled with stuff then covered over there was a car yard there when I was there.What a waste.Also during that time GM had two d8s push in a huge hole where they dumped all the early holden parts in preparation for the new hQ holden to be released in 71.Apparantly so that parts became obsolite and people were forced to but new.No wonder we all struggle to find NOS parts today.Welcome back Graham we need more Kiwis on here to balance the odds a bit.Cheers Tony.

Cheers mate why the hell would someone want those two cars dumped. Even in the 70's someone would have pounced on those two. It is rumuored there a lot of old flathead stuff buried in its greaseproof paper under the front lawn of the old FOMOCO factory in Seaview and under various extensions Ford did the building over the years.
