Colin Taylor Halpin Creek I would say

Paddy Sweeney Brian Gus Heveldt think you had an association with this creek on the way to the Moscow Circus in Christchurch

Paddy Sweeney About 1973

Brian Gus Heveldt Paddy Sweeney yes the guy in the Truck coming through the ford with his window down when you hit it at 1000 miles an hour Paddy in the V6 Torano wouldn’t have needed a Shower that night.He also would have needed a change of Undies.What about the night me and Apo the Dutchman helped you out,don’t think we have ever been thanked for that.

Paddy Sweeney Brian Gus Heveldt you were laughing too much at the time and wouldn't have heard me thanking you. Here is a big THANK YOU GUS YOU GOOD BASTARD.

Paddy Sweeney I think I had my good mate Clive with me that night? Can you remember

Brian Gus Heveldt Yes Paddy you are correct ,you and Clive and then you both left me in a shower of shit the only thanks I got.

Paddy Sweeney You poor buggar, I just don't know how you managed to survive
David Robb These fords were NZ’s first passing lanes Arthur Bass Greyneys was the other one wasn't it ?

Rex Merriman Very good

Charil Milne Wonder whose it was

David Carty Used to go through those fords often, the road is better now though, don't miss them at all!!ude Baker Kay Walsh....uncle Reuben had a yellow one of these Vauxhalls if I remember correctly!

Kay Walsh Jude Baker...yes. He sold it when he missed out on his driver's licence.
But Uncle Morris had a blue one and I think Uncle Frank Callaghan had one too.

Jude Baker Kay Walsh we had a blueish one. Bench Kay Walsh Jude your dad arranged for us to get a 1963 Vauxhall Velox...bench seat, automatic, cool dark blue colour. Learned to drive in it. In fact it's still parked up in back of garage arrol Barnes - Baker johnny Russell perhaps
