Hey growler,

I hope it all works out OK for you mate, now a least you can convince the finance minister to ditch the Yota and get another Patrol.

Anyway mate have a Happy and Safe rest of your trip and the same for Christmas and New Year.

Mark

[Winnie]

Mate this holiday has gone from horrible (driving the Yota) to better (Yota dies) to best (driving a Patrol)!!!! Are you sure you didn't plan this?

[Lonicus]

Definitely sounds like a Baldric-worthy cunning plan.
