Default More vehicular shipping through my work. One for the Holden boys.

Last time we had some tidy imports come to our fine country through my work I started a thread up here and upset a few people, methinks, with some pictures. So today, no pics. Also, it's not an import, but an export. Headed to Ireland.

I was sent out into the scorching heat to write up a condition report on it, and I must say is was very tidy. Three chips in the paint and a couple of surface cracks in the rear spoiler (makes me think it's a fibreglass one), but other than that, spotless. That burgandy colour paint, original gold honeycomb-style wheels. 308 under the bonnet. Mint interior. A very tidy machine.

October 1976 HX/LE Monaro coupe.

A Holden, yes. So why do I post about it here? Because, as I stated earlier, it's going to Ireland. One less of them on the road.

To all the Holden boys here, heres to you...

**Raises glass**



NB: No offense intended by that last bit, purely used as a fillum qoute. The baldman isn't looking to start another Ford/Holden-flame thread.

It wasn't. It just came into work on friday arvo at about 3:00pm and we stuck it in a container to Ireland.

One less Holden in the country. Just doing my part for the blue oval team!

How many GM/Daewoos do you think you could fit in a container? :P

That'd depend entirely on how badly we crushed them first. I'm hoping it'd be a lot. You wouldn't quite fit three commodores in a 40 footer, I don't think. But one bloke who's been sending escorts over to the UK through us has been consistently fitting 5 in each container using framing to hold one above the bonnet of one and the boot of the next.

If we parked a container ontop of the cars first, we should be able to squeeze enough in to make it a worthwhile experience.

Nah, didn't bother. Last time I did that it caused a giant uproar.

It's still at the depot, not sure when it's leaving. I'm not working tomorrow as I booked in a day off for "alternate arrangements" but if it's still there on wednesday a mate of mine wants to see some pictures of it so I told him tonight that I might get him some. If I do, I'll pm some across.
