Sam I thought it was an EK standard so I was in heaven, then when I made contact with the guy he called it an FB. I finally got the plate details off him yesterday (picture me sitting there saying to myself "be an EK, be an EK, be an EK")
..............and then he said "FB/215/8-S ; Paint 253 6258 ; Trim 004/800" Talk about being let down and then put back up again in 8 characters or less

I found the car using Google Earth as I had no time to stop when I was driving through either so I have done well.

Regards
Tim

Tim. I saw Greg tonight at the pub and it seems to be all go for your new car. He seemed a little concerned that he may not be able to get it all the way back to your house yet, but he can keep it in the back yard for now, no worries. Bloody great, I say! I gave him the starter motor and some other electrical stuff as well. Thank you so much for the stuff I got from you on sunday. I tried to buy 2 rusty tasmans off my friend Froggy, but he wants them for his FC. Fair enough! Even though I now have, I think, every wheel you have ever owned, I still want to buy those 3 wheels from you in the future. How about that FB standard. It looks dry and honest. Someone has tried to spruce it up with side chrome years ago, but you will have that sorted out and the car will have it's dignity back. Living in the Blue Mountains as I have said, I can recall 2 black FB standards in all of my years on this eaSo good on you mate, It went to the right guy even though that sounds wierd because it is an FB
Tony.

Well done Tim. Great detective work using google maps. Looking forward watching the future of FB 215/8-S unfold...

Nice work Timmy

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?
Tony.

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!
Tony.
