We got a change through last night, only a bit of wind so I hope this gets to you and quiets things down a bit.
No wind and about 29 degrees here atm.

Get this fire business sorted out people... Bulldoze those trees and save the houses and people... Get all of the bulldozers and concrete trucks off construction sites in NSW and VIC... A great big 2km wide concrete circle ought to stop that pesky fire... Did we ever buy those water bombers??? We have C-17s now - lets fill them with water (Don't bother coming to Queensland - we don't have any left!) and start bombing the hell outta this fire... Jump to it people!!!!!

Anyhow.....Adelaide's the only place you can have an 8 and still be unique.....
well nearly.......
I'm not fixated on the fires and don't like going out in the heat, I'm a winter lover....I feel for the people who are witnessing fires destroying their hopes and dreams and their livliehoods. Anyone who has seen bushfires first hand knows the sheer terror of them. Seen one and that;s enough for me.
MX6 what is that???

I know what you mean about RX8's being rare over there. When I drove to Adelaide with the RX8 a little while back, people were oggling it like it was a Ferrari ... was a bit bizarre. People don't tend to do that over here unless you drive something rare and exotic.
A Mazda MX6 looks like this:

Oh now I remember that model.......thanks, nice photo.
You seem to me to be an interesting character.....
Hope you can make it to PI.
Yes I like to think that Adelaidians know class when they see it!

Merry Christmas To You All
Hey rather than spending a fortune on cards....LOL
Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Drive safe and look forward to another fun filled year on the forum. My life was so dull before I found the 8 and this place!

Hey there all.
After deliberations on the way home we drove a 300C diesel wagon today....am not driving the Alfa long distance again. The 300C was really nice I was surprised! So planning to keep the 8 and maybe buy one of deese in a year......better way to travel!
BTW Hi Tim Tam long time no see?

Even Bruce thought they were quite nice which is saying something..I think it has something to do with their Mercedes heritage!

Those 300C things are nice enough, but I wouldn't buy one ... I just don't like them because they're just too ... americanish and plasticky and overpriced and ... ok, I'll stop there.
Not taking into account that what you're looking at is a diesel, my question is: why buy an american chrysler when you can get something better that's made locally? Yank tanks aren't made very well at all!
Ford and Holden have both improved their build standards of late, and Toyota's come out with that new Aurion, which I must say looks quite like a cheap Lexus for poor people (funnily enough, it is basically just that!).
