Thread: Holden - how long before the end?

Well Rick, the Irish pub is good for a meal and a drink.

Sounds like you may be staying in Capricorn Hwy motel....much quieter up the Gregory.

I would move to Emerald tomorrow , spent my last working years based there.

I should've been out of here two days ago, still resolving some issues.....

Yep,thats commissioning,been there,done that.....although it is often interesting.

Sort out all the sparkies issues,consultant engineers stuff ups,installers mistakes,designers mistakes,suppliers problems,blah,blah.
All fun and games.

For anyone struggling to keep up, it turns out that on the principle of better late than never Holden has begun diversifying their financial interests into steel production, green energy and citrus processing. Look for the holden badge at your greengrocer soon!

XE, with a Watt's linkage.

I believe that can be blamed on the regulators. It's performance in other markets is legendary for the time. But then, so many things are.
