You fellows down under have a more practical choice of vehicles than we do in the States. Does the government there still stick a 100% import tax on cars. It may not have been that much but it was higher than hell in 1969 when I was on R&R in Sydney.... The guy that owned The Whiskey A Go Go paid nearly twice what a Cadillac sold for here for a Mustang convertible.... It was also a trip seeing Plymouth Valiant versions of the Rancheros and El Caminos that were popular at that time in the States..... Damn it was hard to get use to walking on the left and looking to the right when crossing the street but I learned to when I got clipped by a car while walking back to my hotel in Kings Cross, drunk out of my mind.... The counter clock wise spin of water going down a drain was a trip as well..... I was only there for six days but it was great.... It is early morning here and I am drinking Mescal. Sorry about the reminiscing, but old war veterans do that during the wee hours after a little imbibing of spirits.... I love your wonderful country.
