Re: Holden Celebrates 50 Years At Elizabeth Plant

Elizabeth is a bland place. The Mitsubishi factory was in a much better part of Adelaide. They were both my customers when I lived there.

Probably a good idea that GM built in such a ****ty spot, the real estate value of the Mitsu factory may have been one more motive to close it.

The only interesting thing I ever saw happen out at Elizabeth was a Mitsubishi Galant catch fire driving on the highway right in front of me. I saw the flames appear underneath, and started honking the horn. Then next minute he pulled up and fled the flames and smoke. I pulled up, as did everyone behind, and we watched it burn to a crisp in about a minute. If you ever are in a car that starts to burn, get out. It happens real fast.
