Phil,
Just a quick note from the bottom of the world or the top depending on where you happen to
have your wheels parked at the time.
The weekend of 29/30 March 2003 was one of mixed weather conditions here in Nelson,
New Zealand which served to heighten the experience of celebrating 100 years since the
foundation of the Standard Motor Company.
Standard owners from through out the land converged to exchange stories and experiences
with those of like mind. Driving the flag with pride and honor to a number of
venues within the City and surrounding country side. Included were visits to private
car collections along with displays at the World of Wearable-art & Collectable Cars,
Pigeon Valley Steam Museum and Founders Historic Park, most impressive displays at each to
cater for the differing interests of all. Fifteen vehicles were on public display at
Founders Historic Park on the morning of the 29th, it is often said a picture is worth a
thousand words. These snaps are added for the enjoyment of all Standard lovers
and show the flag continues to fly 100 year after the dream was realized, much to
the delight of past and present owners.
Thanks Stephen, not all the photos you sent me worked out,
so if you have any more, please try sending them again. I cant associate your captions wth
the right picture either, so please advise me.
