Correct Roger. Owen Gibbens. Was first powers by an Aerial red hunter. I sat in it one day while our Dad was in the workshop. Long time ago now.
Bryce Smith

Kevin Oregan
Looks like I stand corrected . Seems his name was Robin not Owen. Kevin
I always thought it was Owen too Kev, so we both stand corrected.
Robin Gibbens
Kevin Oregan Owen Gibbens , Father.lm Robin and raced TQs at Templeton 20 years later will put a photo of dads TQ up.
Kevin Oregan
Thank you Robin. Your Dad was kind to me in small ways. His little TQ with its most dinctive grill from an A30 and he in his white overalls... Can still see him. Some more posts of photos would be great. Kevin
Wayne Nicholson
Kevin Oregan . Sorry guys, was just bringing it to Robin's attention. He's getting "old" and needs prompting at times !
Robin Gibbens
Great to see, brings back great memories, loved all the times l spent at the work shop during the school Holidays and the lovely apple turn overs for morning tea
Rebecca Pearson
It's hard to believe we don't have an ice cream and cheese retail store at Westland Milk Products. We could have something like they have at Kapiti, the Kapiti Cheese and ice cream shop, it would attract bus loads of tourists when I was living up there. Snowflake ice cream was the best!…
