jax8, I originally had trouble with this too....I found the problem is that the large map has some Japanese text on it and I had no Japanese text support enabled for my browser....

I'm using IE....I downloaded the file from the MS update website.

Hope this helps.....Gomez.

I was there on Thursday...since when someone's assasinated me!

Gomez, you've jinxed me too. When I expanded the map Thurs. I got just that , an expanded map. Today I get The Yahoo Japanese text.

Not my week. Just hope my bank believes I've vanished.

Colour Change

Well, the long and the short of it was that the fellow melbournians may remember a flood of sorts that occurred dec last year.

The results at my house was that at some stage during the evening a river of sorts was created right where my 8 was parked. In the morning there was no visible damage etc other than some evidence (such as the fence knocked down) that there had been plenty of water on the property.

Nothing about the car that looked suspicous but...... on turning ignition over two jets of water came out of the exhaust.

To cut a long story short $15k parts quoted to fix, insurance replaced car with new one, and the old car sold at auction flood damaged for, get this, $56k.

Crap experience, but hey, nice new 8 now!

yes, it has been the centre of most of my mates jokes for quite some time.

Apparently I forgot to order the amphibious options from the brochure etc etc.

Anyway, alls well.....

I am sure Hymee will fit one-way valves into your tips in preparation for the next deluge, simondebbie.Or you could add them at your own works.

Yeah keen to catch up when you get down here.

And yes jax8, very funny!
