That will keep the five of us (is five right?) out of everyone else's hair.

And I don't know whether it should be referred to as "Puma" or "Duratorque" or just 2.4 TdCi or what.

My wife's family is near St Arnaud (Avoca Forest stud) but we will be going home via Bright then through Omeo / Kosciuszko etc - so yes - we should hook up. I don't think it's too far from you.

Lots of places sell them - postal order from UK gives hundreds of retailers - plenty here in Oz too. But the genuine ones are pure bling.
