This also happened to my Fc about a month before we went to the Nationals in Sydney in 2003,I suppose I should be grateful it didn't on the trip like it did for Tony, Tony in Tasmania  :)

Thanks very  much for the replies ,I have now got one, Tony  :)

Thanks for that Tayz, Tony  :)

G'day I'm after an FC UTE ID PLATE, I 've just bought a '59 FC ute, which is registered but is missing an ID PLATE , I do have an FC STANDARD 215 plate to swap if anyone needs one. If anyone can help I'd be very grateful, thanks Tony  :)

Hi Matt, I have  FC  5859 on my red 58 FCsedan, all the good ones like FC1958, FC0058 etc were gone when I tried to get them, Tony  :)

Hi, I'm just about to fit a reco 149 to my FC, and would like to fit electric wipers at the same time, I have the motor and the switch is this all I  need ?, thanks for any help Tony :)

thanks RET,   it's not much fun in the FC in winter  :)  Tony

Hi Ed, I'd like to get a pair of demister vents from you, are the still available?, thanks Tony

Hi , nice van , I love the colour,  Tony

G'day Nicko, I love your red and white FC, I've got a red FC, which I want to put a white  flash  down the side of as well , its also got a similar set of wheels on it.  Tony

Hi Streatneat,love your ute, and what a great story. Tony :)

G'day Brendan ,what an amazing job you have done on the FC, love the colours , great to see another car restored.   :)     Tony    

Alan, what an incredible car you have,and to have kept it for over 25 years? is amazing, I remember seeing it in the '86 steet machine magazine with the Golden Holdens, your car was one of the reasons i got hooked on FC's, it looked so good.  :)    Tony

Some great cars from the west, I love that convertible.    :) Tony

 what a magic car, Lindsay, did you build it? Tony    :)

I also have run out of petrol in my FC, coming back from the 2001 FE-FC Nationals,we were getting near Gundagai and passed a few small towns with servo's, Theresa(my wife) said don't you think we should stop to get petrol, no I said we'll be right we will make it to Gundagai, anyway 5 miles from Gundagai it stopped . I hitchhiked to Gundagai while Theresa and the kids waited in the car. I was lucky a lady gave me a ride straight away into town ,she even gave me a ride back to the car,with Theresa behind the wheel and  a drop of petrol down the carbie the FC fired up and Theresa had her first drive of the FCto Gundagai to fill up.
Now I always refill when the gauge reads a quater, the was funny thing was(I found out later ) I could of got the petrol across the road at the dog on the tuckerbox.  

I like the idea of a "what to look  out for page" on the forum when purchasing an FE or FC, such as where to look for rust etc,it would certainly help a lot of inexperienced  people planning to buy one of these great early holdens.  :)  Tony

They certainly are nice cars , does the wagon have a grey motor or red motor?  
                                          :) Tony

You've got some beautifull cars there Slim , are they all registered?   :)  Tony

I brought the video from Dion and thought it was very good ,certainly more profesional than the video I made of the Sydney nationals, allthough it probably didn't show enough grille badges , eh Rob?  ;D   Tony
