    I am leaving for your country this Thursday night from LAX on Qantas. After landing, I will be taking my bride to the Circle Quay (thanks to you). There I hope to see the Sydney Opera house and the bridge. I am only in Sydney for 4 hours before going to Whitsunday for 5 days.

    After paying for this trip, my brother-in-law tells me it will be in the middle of the monsoon season at Whitsunday. Great. Rain, rain, and more rain.

    Then to Melbourne. I go to the GP Gala on Friday night. Saturday night I go to the BMW-Williams dinner. I may be kicked out because I am a Ferrari man. I had wanted to go to the FOA (Ferrari Club of Australia) dinner at the Crowne Casino but no such luck. On Sunday I get to see my Ferrari take first and second at the opening GP of the season. Monday I come home and I arrive before I take off. That is strange. My woman is staying in Melbourne for some time with her brother.

    Boy, I am so excited.

    By the way, Sunday night after the race, I will be drinking at a bar (pub in Ozzie talk) with Andrew (not my brother-in-law). This will not be something for children or young women. This is going to be some serious drinking of adult beverages.

    I am so excited that I am posting this on two sites.

    Only drive 12 cylinders

    two things Bart, QANTAS - at least you will get here with the cargo door still attached :D first class brilliant, cattle class=boohoofooyoo

    secondy, Whitsundays , check this site out for ACTUAL conditions :

    http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/qld/mackay/warnings_and_forecasts.shtml

    perfect time of the year for the islands and the temp of the water will be about 23-25 celcius so no real need for a wet suit when diving except to protect against fire coral (white pretty looking coral that burns like hell if you touch it) and if you are a diver watch out for the dreaded stone fish (no he's not on drugs but does issue them!!) they are DEADLY and look just like a rock but have venomous spines and are much scarier and more common than the sharks which are normally just tigers which like to warn you they are going to bite by nudging you to see how hard they have to bite - true, trust me I'm a dogtor :D

    If you are flying out to Hamilton and then onto Hayman like any civilised person I envy you as this is the best island in the world bar none, if you are going to Hamilton, you may as well stayed in NY, either way have a great time and look out for the cone shells and blue ringed octopus as well (look them up on google and see if I'm BSing you)

    nah much prefer the zionistic imperialist govt that we have now, the direction is so much more defined than one nation, Pauline lacked in fortitude and her IQ was/is quite similar to a sheep (<30), but hey lets all do a drive by Baxter in the Fcars so that they will see what you get once released.

    oh yeah, sorry, I'm a bit slow today :(

    going to the motorshow Friday with all us other "loosers" (sic) ?

    I hate the internet reading words that don't exist and poor grandma...Ash and his "werk" are drivin me mad dude but then SAers are only just slightly better than plankton or that other higher life form , single celled amoeba :D

    btw one of my best mates lives at Glenelg so I have to be nice to at least one of "them" :)

    I was really pi55ed when VIC stole the GP, Adelaide is the spiritual home of the GP and I await the speedy return

    Triple J did this skit about if you are studying german language in schools in Aust then there is a high chance u will be detained in Baxter Detention Centre (aka Christina Rau) ((spoke german and then whacko in you go)), so put Bart's surmane and being of german origin the chances are upon arrival in Aust the immigration Dept will see fit to stick him in Baxter (we can try anyway) so that's the reference to german thingo's and Baxter.:)

    i still really like looking at pigs fly between speakers when listening to pink floyd, but then it's kinda hard when you land, stuff it landing is easy, take off is hard, it's getting the right proportion into the blood stream, bit like counting bolts under a bridge, u should try it, it's wild on your eyes especially when you get half way and lose count because of being so bent, it sorta makes life fun, thank god 4 ipods, now they just gotta a bluetooth to my brain and instant pink floyd in the head, now that's mind head.
