    Hey Murphy, How's it going? I'm guessing you got your rear diff fixed by now.

    Saw a lot of Holdens over there. They are pretty cool but I understand they aren't the best quality vehicle.

    They're GM - what do you expect? ;) And heck, they're Austrailians - they can laugh it off! :) I worked on a Commodore program where they bought the Nissan inline 6 when Nissan went to the V6. We worked on making the cooling system work (fan clutch, radiator, inlets, trans cooler, etc). We'll see how the Camaro does in the quality ratings.

    Yeah, all re-geared, locked and rolling - makes it sooo much different! 'Hope you 're doing well! Was the Aussie trip for biz or pleasure?

    I am doing well. Thank you.

    The trip was all business. Put a crawler box into a new series Hilux.
