    And as "part owner" of Steve's 355 I think he should remove the shields and dye the carpets black :p

    I honestly don't know, but I doubt we'd do it at a loss.

    My understanding is we are asked to put forth a price to do these types of jobs, and it's either accepted or it isn't.

    Got some nice pics from today's adventure. It was an excellent day.

    Scotch now well-earned... :)

    Beautiful day in Tassie. On descent in to Hobart.

    Mt. Kosciuszko and the Snowy Mountains from 43,000ft. Still a decent amount of snow.

    Some days, Rob, yes. :)

    One thing I forgot to mention that really amazed me was that on the trip from Hobart to Brisbane I could clearly see the Melbourne skyline when we were at 43,000ft from 350km away!

    I thought I must have been seeing things at first. I mean, 350km?! Wow.

    No I haven’t. But I’d love to do a decent drive all around that area. It really looks stunning.

    One of the things I’m most looking forward to when the Lotus arrives is doing many more of those long drives with Chloe and seeing more of the country. One of the first things we’re going to do is take it to Tassie.

    Perhaps if I can get enough time off afterwards I’ll continue on up north of Melbourne to Sydney via those great roads.
    Maybe meet up with a few of you peanuts. :eek:

    I’ll reserve a special “seat” in the spa for you. Chloe will have to find something else to do that night

    Tassie ideal for a Lotus , this is a nice safe drive Longford back roads to Campbell town, Fingel,Avoca ,St Marys down the cost and back to Campbell town via B34

    Great roads around the Snowy Mountain area , Ian is your man .

    Gee I love those things. One day I’m going to go to that air show.
    I wonder if there are any patients in the area whom need to be brought back to Oz around that time? :p

    Got a quick vid of an airliner going past underneath at 35,000 somewhere between Hobart and Brissie.
    Think it was Vietnam airlines and maybe an A350 but not shore.
