It is so odd for me to hear you guys talking about preparing or garaging cars for winter. In the city where I live it is more or less top-down weather for 10 months of the year. In fact, in the entire state of Western Australia (a state with over 1,000,000 square miles of area, nearly 4 times the size of Texas) it does not snow. I have never used snow chains, I've never even used anything but summer tyres regardless of the season.

It does put things into perspective and I now have a great deal of respect for guys that persevere with Boxsters knowing well that they will only get a few good months (or even weeks) a year in which to truly enjoy them.

Yeah, but you guys not only drive on the wrong side of the road, the steering wheel is on the wrong side as well.

You forgot that we need REALLY sticky tyres as well. How else does one stay firmly planted on the ground in the southern hemisphere!

That's right JD... If you actually looked at Australians from outer-space they are driving on the right/correct side of the road but upside down.

Wasn't Australia at one time - just a big penal colony for the UK ?

Yes, perhaps that's why I like them so much.

Yes it was. The country was essentially settled by English convicts, although it could have been worse and we could have got the Puritans.

OK, now back to the Aussie bashing.
