Enjoying time in Australia

Away for 10 days between Adelaide and Melbourne with Julie. Then on to 4 days at the F1 GP before being back in NZ for work. Weather is 27 - 35c. Loving being back along the Great Ocean Road, its been 15 years since i cycled for 4 weeks to do the 1800 kms.

Wait a minute! The rumor over here is that you guys don't get along well (Kiwi's vs. Aussie's).

No Gene, we get on ok, we just treat Kiwis as our poor cousins.


Aust is actually supporting quite a lot of them, on the East coast.

Re: Enjoying time in Australia

$1500 worth of parts were shipped from Hanson Subaru in USA about a week ago. Tracking number says the box is sitting at NZ Customs.

Once the box arrives in my mechanics hands my car should be back on the road within a few weeks.

In the meantime I'm enjoying driving my Vortex everyday.

Haven't done anything about the air freshener. Too many other things to think about.

Re: Enjoying time in Australia

Well with Lotus winning the F1 GP today i know the Lotus car club were still drinking as i left the circuit. As a side note the only Subaru club there was the WRX Club there were some lovely other manufacturers there also - pity that there were no SVX members on show.
