Automotive spare parts
Sir, — It is the stuff of slapstick humour to see a Land-Rover door fly open, the driver sprawl out; pick himself up, run, jump back in, and stop the LandRover from ploughing through a fence. As the old song goes: Well, fix the door, dear Henry. With what shall I fix the door, dear Liza? With new hinges, dear Henry’. But there are no new hinges, dear Liza. There are no new hinges in New Zealand. What slapstick stupidity allows a fully built-up,
$19,500 Citroen to be imported before necessities like door hinges, and gear box parts, just to start a long list? — Yours, etc., B. K. MACFARLANE. September 30, 1977.
