STUNO Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Film of the Ford assembly plant in Wiri, South Auckland. This shows the reason why car assembly was deemed to be too slow and much too expensive for a small market. Xa Ford Falcon Assembly New Zealand 1972 73 - YouTube Also a pic if the assembly line at BLMC in Nelson. This plant did the Triumph, Rover and Jaguar cars and assumedly other BL cars and commercials. The jigs as in this pic were pushed from one station to the next. I always maintained that my SD1 was hand built and this proves it.

louiepj Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I know that building site... I wonder if they've demolished the old Lloyds and restaurant yet? They're definitely taking their time with things.New council building looks in use but the two big blocks of flats (luxury apartments) are near empty but I did a delivery to someone that just moved in. Think the picture was on the old restaurant (still there) part of the building site.Edited for spelling. Fumbler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainrcz Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Had a visit from my Dad, his new partner and her dog today. A curly red Cockerpoo called Deefer. He's ace, I am a fan. He decided he'd take the tour of the house and for some reason really liked sitting on my knee watching the local nutters go by through the bay window. phil_lihp and R1152 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainrcz Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 We've been considering a dog for years, being the childless weirdos we are. Since the mad little bugger came in to my life I think a Cockerpoo is what we should get (upside is they fit in small Japanese coupes) I'd definitely be calling it a human name though. I reckon something like Geoffrey. Off topic, and a brief glance inside my mind. Someone just went past my house and he walked like Mr Soft..
