beeg, a couple of OT questions. Why does the Australian World Cup team wear green and yellow, when your national colors are red, white, and blue? Second, any trouble down there after Italy cheated they're way in? I hope the German's stomp all over Italy for you.

Sorry Brian! I was probably still seething after the wife told me she past me on her way home and she said the 944 looked like an RX7

Magic Wash try out has been postponed as I had a large office relocation/install down in Goulburn that ate my weekend up (it even tried to rain down there...but not enough...) but tell Charles, MW works wonders getting grubby kid prints of windows, the maid...uh...wife thinks it works better than window cleaner!

Forget about it!
Normally, on the autobahn I do about 100-120 MPH to work in the morning. Keeping that in mind familes will drive be me in their BMW station wagon ( German: Bee Mmmm Vee) like I am setting their reading a book or something.
My German landlord call's Bee Mmm Vees "Kraut Wagon's" and in German says the Initals stand for "Bavarian Made **** Wagon"! My landlord just kills me.

A bloody huge sticker on the windscreen that says 'PORSCHE' stops the RX7 comments!
Good luck with the rain. I'll send you some dehydrated water!

beeg I assumed, maybe wrongly, that the national colors were those on your nation's flag. Like the US, Germany, etc... The reason the red, white, and green Italians wear blue (I had to ask an actual Italian) is because of a local soccer club that did exceptionally well wore blue, they fans took up cheering all soccer as something-blue. The last part I had a hard time recalling correctly. Have a good snooze.
