By the time Howard gets to Sydney to do the job, it'll be out of there and on it's way to Melbourne.
Sit tight mate, I know what it's like to have to wait, but it'll be worth it when you break open the box and open the case for the first time!

Ron I am putting plans together to come to Oz to visit Aitch next year in February or March. I am looking forward to seeing his Anniversary 330 in the flesh. Hopefully I'll also get to meet up with you and the rest of the blokes on the forum from down under. I am looking forward to making that possibility a reality as well.

Thanks for the offer, Paul. Balaclavas at the ready, men! Watches synchronised, Aston Martins warmed up..... forward ho!!
We're ready (well, almost) and willing, Brian. Bring your shorts and sunnies, mate!
Now where would one hire a couple of Waverunners and quad bikes..........

Looking forward to meeting you in the flesh as it were Brian. We'll all have a great time I'm sure!
You'll certainly have a number of Rics to pick from!!

Sorry to hear about the customs hold up Aitch. I know how that feels.
Melissa, you made me laugh with your comment above. You are absolutely right!
Brian...we have a steady stream of US forumites visiting next year....Dave Pascoe in January, your good self in Feb/March, Alisha in May, and potentially Graham and Peter from the UK.
After this year's travels and Rickenpurchases Howard and I would be lucky if we could scrape up a bus fare into the city between us! Really looking forward to meeting you soon!

You're right about
that, Darren. I've overspent in a
big way! Why only last week I had to flog the Rolls and sack the chauffer, the gardener and the cook!
The housemaid stays, though..........

Where did all these blow flies come from? Must be all the bulltish floating around at the moment.
Don't let these two put you off coming people, if transport becomes a problem, I'll give you a dink on my push bike - it's slow going but reliable!

Howard you have to come back next year or the year after, just sell a one of your estates. I am sure that some of the servants would not mind a change of master.
Ron push bikes are great fun. We'll have to put aside an afternoon to play guitar and bass until our fingers bleed. After a workout like that, Aitch will no doubt develop a thirst. Perhaps then we can use the bike to get down to the local and back.
Darren I am looking forward to jamming with you and Greg (and anyone else who wants to sit in) as well. I hear tell you stole the show in California so I can't wait to play a few bars with you guys. I am looking forward to our visit, it should be heaps of fun.

You should have seen Howard awe the crowd at TR&RHOF&M!

I know the bike will get us there to the pub, but after a few beers something weird happens to my balance and bike riding is out, besides "plod" is deadly over here on intoxicated bike riders.
I think we'd better up the practice regime Howard, Brian seems intent on some serious playing when he gets here. It was sore fingers the other day - he's talking about bleeding fingers - they're a tough breed these Canadians.

Yup! Them Canucks don't muck around, Ron..... it's 100% or nothing!
I'm in for upping the regime, mate! Perhaps we'd better start thinking about a name or two for a band...
