Gary,

Was Beachworth Thursday and it was a beautiful day with top down driving around the wineries, drove home yesterday back to Hanging Rock through rain, hail and sleet and found a new leak under the left side of the dash.  Got to get the glove box out again for the 10th time.

Mark what you cannot see behind the Roller is an Australian Muscle car, a Ford Falcon GT that is concourse and worth nearly as much as a 300SL.  Mine pales in comparison.

Garry,

t’s certainly an eclectic mix of cars.  The GT’s are worth squillions but have nowhere near the timeless style of our Mercs.  I think that if I was caught out in my Merc on Friday in the miserable weather I’d have found a nice place to put it under cover and then indulged in some more wine!
