Default Newbie From Down Under

Hello all,

I'm from Brisbane, Australia.
Don't presently have a vette of any description unless "Revell" ones are considered...…… No I thought not
I've been to the NCM on three different occasions, first in 08 then in 15 and again in 17 love the place.
Look forward to changing the non ownership situation in the not to distant future.

Cheers,
Chris.

Thank you all for the warm welcome,
The ownership thing might be a retirement gift to myself.
As for the bush fires, I'm thankfully not near any but feel for the people who are.
I have total admiration for the fire fighters who every day put themselves in harms way to battle these out of control infernos, I don't know if I could do it.
I only hope an end to the fires comes soon.

Cheers,
Chris.
