Errr,
we in Oz are bleating that our ULP has reached $1.05+AUD (72+cUS) per
litre!!
Times by 4.54 (for Imperial gallons) and take into our $ being your 68c, and
that makes, ~$3.26USD per gallon!!!!
I try not to purchase fuel by the gallon though, it is far too expensive
that way ;)
If you guys and gals in the US of A would only adopt the metric system, your
fuel prices would drop dramatically!!
Hehehehehehe!
The Roadster content: - well, Autumn has got a grip on us now and I am
currently in tidy up mode.
Got rid of 2 cars out of my driveway, so it looks fairly bare at the moment
with only 4 there!!
However all my expensive Ebay and List purchases for my '65 SP310 are now
safely stored away waiting for the emergence of Spring.
Jeeez, I'm going to have to extract the proverbial digit if it is to be on
the road in 2005!!

Still trying to track down a Tool bag for the boot/trunk.
Does anyone have an original Nissan/Datsun toolbag/pouch to hold the wheel
lug wrench, sparkplug spanner,etc??

Leaving on Sunday, 21 May, to travel on the new Ghan passenger train to our
tropical northern capital, Darwin.
Reminds me of a comic strip I saw in a Mad magazine many years ago:
"I love it when it snows and I can't see my car and it gets bitterly cold,
because,
THAT'S when I go to FLORIDA!!"
Take care everybody.
Regards,

Adelaide, South Australia.




And besides, today I was lucky enough to find a
station that only charged $2.85 for 91 Octane :-). I
was able to get a 36 mo. loan right there at the pump
at only Prime +15%.  As soon as that loan is paid off
I can afford to fill up my Roadster again.

Gotta love livin in California!!!
