See ya, Dave "YO electric"


Keys!! *To start a Holden!!

Twenty years ago, most of the teenagers within 50 miles of Lake Keepit
would have been able to start it in about 20 seconds without keys -
including the time to get the locked door open!

If it's the age of most gliding club cars, they probably still can. *

I owned a Holden when I was on Guam many years ago. It was puke
green. It had three gas tanks, the rusted out original, and two 5
gallon cans in the trunk and one rear brake.
It was a Guam Bomb Crew Car named Bill. Purchase from Captain
Commander for $50, his parting words were "Take good care of Bill".
Bill would transports us from Andersen AFB to the highest point in
the Island Top of the Mar, the Navy Officers Club. There was much
smoke in the cockpit and the engine would freeze as we coasted into
the parking lot, but Bill was ready to go again after dinner.
I gave Bill to the crew bus driver when we left Guam. There were
many sightings thru the years.
