Glad to hear you've made the move. Sincere congratulations. I was born here but my wife was born in the UK & officially became an Aussie 30 years ago. She said why should she ever to go back to the Old Dart when she was already in the best country in the world!! By the way don't take offence with the "Bruce & Sheila" bit as my wife's name really IS Sheila and she really has copped the flack over the years! We've been married over 33 years and she loves the Landrovers and going bush.....so, I think I'll keep her.
Keep us informed on your Defender problems.
Cheers, Erich (and his Sheila)

Well done to you both..
I didn't hear either of you swear at Wandin earlier in the year, so you had better lift your game now.
All those new adjectives you can add to "Sod off" and "Core Blimey".
It took Christine 42 years to learn the language and become one of us..;)
