G'day, as they say down under...

Well the wife got news this morning that she has a new job in Brisbane Australia. It's a great 3 year gig with a gov't environmental agency. Blah blah blah...

The dilema for me is whether or not to bring the 914 down?

The job will cover 5000 lbs of stuff for shipping. The 914 is about 2000 lbs (right?). One obvious challenge is that they drive on the other side of the road down there. Toilet bowls flush backwards too! There's also a pile of paperwork to go through.

I'm kinda bummed to leave the states because the 914 project has been a lot of fun lately. Plus I'll have to leave my VW Squareback too!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

If I don't bring either car I want to figure out a way to store the cars until we come back stateside. Anyone out there have a cheap storage solution?

We're not leaving until August so I still have time to play with the 914 this summer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

Cheers,
Nate
