The whinging POM has landed and got his 110 through the first hurdle. (i.e. passed your quarentine service) They steamed cleaned it just to be on the safe side.
Well a few miles from the port the wiring on the electric fan started to get rather hot! Possible suspect is water in plugs from steam cleaning???? Who knows? Luckily only had a few miles to go to my bothers place. Aussie sparky has fitted a new one so the spare viscous fan is now back where it belongs.
Had to use one of the AFFF extinguishers I carry (MSA recommended in UK) and have replaced it with a dry powder one (RTA recommended)
Aussie customs went into every box etc in the 110!
Now ready to head out to Broken Hill tomorrow. If you see a red 110 on UK plates give me a wave. If you are attending the Outback challenge come over and say hi and have a beer with me.
Regards
Brendan

Sadly I could not bring my 130but she is being looked after by my sister. So for that I am jeoulos.
Enjoy and have fun, Easo

Hi Brendan,
Better weather than Yorkshire I bet) in Driffield at the Landy show at the weekend, I spent most of the time dodging from one bit of shade on the stand to another.
And it is pretty certain we will be up in the Brisbane area when I get out in the summer hols (or should I say winter)I arrive mid July to keep him on his toes, well fed and amused
So the offer of

Hiya Brendan,
Glad everything got in OK.
When I landed my 110, customs weren't interested and after a quick look in a couple of boxes, the quarantine guys waved the truck straight through.
Sounds like you got them on an off day...
Enjoy your trip.
