Title: Lang Lang Testing Grounds Post by: KFH on November 20, 2007, 12:50:34 PM Just read an article in my sons Civil Engineering magazine. Lang Lang turned 50 on September 7th 2007. The first model to be tested on this testing facility was the FC.

That's an interesting bit of info. Holden bought the property in 1956 and it was open for testing in 1957. Though the FC is the first car to be 'tested' at Lang Lang before release, there is no shortage of pics of FE's undergoing testing. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v117/customfc/holden%201/FE-LangLang2.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v117/customfc/holden%201/FE-LangLang6.jpg) I did a quick search and came across this article about Lang Lang turning 50. Interesting article and it has a couple of pic I have never seen before. http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_109208/article.html ($2) (http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i1092/109208_22mg.jpg) (http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i1092/109208_26mg.jpg) (http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i1092/109208_10mg.jpg) Regards Alex Title: Re: Lang Lang Testing Grounds Post by: HAD 708 on November 20, 2007, 11:55:45 PM The Fe picture features the Wheel Trims that "Greyone " was asking about on his recently purchased sedan purchase!!
