    hello from another new Pom

    Just joined this site after moving over from the UK and sadly having to sell my 90 defender before my migration. However have now bought myself a 110 tdi5 so happy again. Now looking forward to exploring your amazing country.

    Welcome, you sure to find somewhere here that you find comfortable. There's a heap of expats with a warped SoH on the Skulls (blocking the rad) thread, you'd be made welcome there for a few days, then treated like normal.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    He seems to be in Adelaide, we'll have to educate him eh?

    Lesson # 1:
    I am not a new Pom, I am a new Australian.
    Repeat three times, twice daily.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Welcome to Australia and this forum.

    If you ever venture across to northern Victoria way give me a call.
    There is always a cold beer (can organize hot if you wish) and a bed if needed.

    Dave.

    Hi GameKeeper.

    I'm not a pom (although I lived south of London down near Brighton for a couple of years), but am in Adelaide too.

    Where are you from? How come you chose Adelaide over Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane (where most of the money/jobs are)?

    Cheers
    David

    welcome dont forget to get citizenship in 4 years time it'll be the best thing you ever do.
    This forum is a great lifeline..... top tip dave blknight is a god on all things landy, if he don't know he'll make it up....no seriously he is a legend and all the guys here have helped keep me sane when i needed assistance and insane with laughter the rest of the time...enjoy and if you ever come to Perth ill stick a couple of beers in the oven prior to your arrival so it's just like the old country just for the memories.
    Oh yeah forgot the most important thing don't think quid then dollar there is no point to cash conversions and this is the best country on the face of the globe.
    Happy new year and have a great life in this golden soiled land
