Raising the bar - Holden Statesman

[kaz3g]

I don't know how to embed these damned things but I saw this the other night and it brought back some memories.

 

 

I was thirty years younger and it was me in the left hand Blanik, not Mark. The other pilot was Peter. We did get a bit bored towards the end of the filming and we raised the Statesman's tow bar about 4 feet off the ground at around 60 mph (100kph) by just pulling up a little harder towards the end of the tow.

 

Driver was not amused!

I loved the statesman commercials. There was one where a Cattle station owner bought a Statesman. He says in the add ' One of the boys thought I was going a bit soft buying the statesman' Then he also says "I wonder where he works now". It was pretty funny at the time.

My daily driver is a Brock WB Statesmen Caprice Magnum, one of about 6 built.
