We don't know much about cars in Australia other than the Porsche 356 guys who we met up with in a visit to Ozz a few years ago. Nigel and I are both 356 and early 911 fans. The last 911 was sold to help finance our house in France. I was very sad to see it go but thankfully I love France so it was for a good cause:-) <br /><br />The weather is not too bad for cycling at the moment, a bit cooler but sunny temperatures +- 24C.
