Another big welcome to you, Joe! I am sure you will get answers to your questions here, once you explain the language differences.
We love pictures here so don't forget to post some for us.

Isn't it Mid-Winter down there now? Hot as you know what here.
Do you also hang out at Ozrodders also? I am a member there along with several others. Got hooked up with them thru a guy from Sydney who owns a 38 Ford sloper. I really like the sloper looks, wish they had built them here.
