So to Andy, our resident blood-hound :D

THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! :D
Hehe, I had a chat with him at the beginning of the week and he was super happy. He mentioned he'd found you a dash, thats great news! Tbh, looking at your car it deserves it the rest looks really nice.

Chris - Did he mention which A/C parts he got hold of? He did tell me, but that went clean outta my head as soon as he said he'd got the dash! :D

Will have to sort out a coat of paint for the old girl, then she will look good.



P.S. I live just south of a town over here that shares your surname, related to anyone famous and explorer or something?

Theres a place with my name?! Awesome. I found a mountain once when I googled for it, but think that was Canada. The name really isn't common over here, memory says came from Normandy in 1066, and a lot of them ran away to America when that got invented ;)

Just did a google, looks amazing! I have my own beach too and it's amazingly sandy :D Awww, now I want to head over too... Kate did say she wanted a nice holiday.

AC bits he got were mainly the airbox radiators (evap or condensor, I always get them mixed up :D) as those are the things that we can't easily bodge from something else.

Hmmm, RHD ... Were there any hot places which got A/C-fitted 300s where they drove on the other side of the road?

Maybe it's worth looking at this map:

... along the lines of "rich LHD hot countries where the V300 was sold".

That reminds me, I need to give Meintag another reminder ;-)

Yep there sure is, it's a very small place but is the oldest town in North Queensland, dont' even know who it's named after. :oops: It's a good spot for holidays (North Queensland) but not at this time of the year, middle of winter - July - is the best, nice and cool and hopefully not so much rain.

What side of the road do you drive on Tom? Sorry for the ignorance here but I have no clue.

He turned up to the Ace Cafe meet on Sunday, with lots of bounce! He seems to have been taken with Aus I think :lol:
