G'day from New Zealand
 

Hi from Auckland. I am an ex-Leyland apprentice from the 50's, and still interested in buses and trucks especially from that era. Any other ex-Leyland folk out there?

Welcome to the forum Mike and comment anywhere you can and please post any photos you may have.

Welcome Mike.

Welcome mike.

I must have drove close to a million miles in leylands ,And they allways did the business.
Though the leyland 400 in the bristol LH was a bit on the loud side.

Best wishes LES.

A warm welcome Mike from the staff at Truck and Bus.

Hello Mike and welcome to the forum, enjoy and all the best.

KIA ORA MIKE
Its good to have one more of us on the page,

which part of Auckland?

John.

Are there still Auks in Aukland (or did the settlers eat them all?)?

you came in at the right time for this joke

(5) A Lion in London Zoo was lazing in the sun and licking his **** when a visitor turned to the keeper and said,”thats a docile old thing isn`t it?”
“ No way,” said the keeper,”it is the most ferocious beast in the zoo.Why only an hour ago it dragged a Scotsman into the cage and completely deoured him.”
“Hardly seems possible,” said the astonished visitor,
‘But why is he lying there licking his ****?”
“The poor thing is trying to get the taste out of his mouth,”said the keeper .

Have a good day.

Where in Auckland?
 

Hi John,
I live in Howick, and work part-time in Otahuhu.
Now I have a free Gold Card, I recently took a bus from Botany in to Auckland city - my first bus ride for about 50 years!
But that's a commentary on the so called bus service rather than any dislike of buses.
Just bought a motor bike, after a 50-year gap, so now I'll be travelling on 2 wheels at least when the weather impoves..
Cheers,
Mike

Hi! Mike,
The old Gold card very handy thing,we use it when we go to Auckland city on the Pine Harbour Ferry,we are out of Beachlands.
