Subject: Re: [Healeys] FW: Sunoco poster
Reminds of the time in '93 I was bopping down the street in Queenstown, NZ
and saw a black BJ8 on a poster looking out at me from the door of a grocery
store. I went in and begged and pleaded for the poster, but the young
things who were there just worked in the store and had no authority for
anything, so they wouldn't let me take it.
I mentioned this poster to a bus driver in Rotorua who was wearing a jacket
with a Jag on the back. Two years later, I came home from work to find a
paper mailing tube on my kitchen table with the Healey poster inside. It
had taken the bus driver that long to find one, because it was actually an
ad for Benson & Hedges cigarettes and tobacco advertising had been banned in
NZ. He eventually got one from Benson & Hedges in Australia and sent it on
to me. I was flabbergasted that he had stayed on the trail for two years.
Gotta love those Kiwis.
I'll send a picture of the poster to John Sims for his site so all can see
it.

John
I stopped in at a Sunoco station to fill the wife's Cube last night. Have
not been to that area since moving east so I didn't even know we had a
Sunoco station. Asked the nice lady behind the convenience store counter
what they will do with the Free Gas 5000 ( with a red, almost Austin Healey
on it ) posters when the promotion is over. They have them displayed in at
least 8 places around the station. She wasn't sure but gave me a number to
call.
Seems
that the posters are changed out periodically. Hoping to get a couple that
way but if the signed copies are going to be available put me on the
list....
Aloha
