This weekend is the Airshow and apparently there is a record number of Vans, wicked vans, tents camped at the small area either side of Geelong road for a bird's eye view. Any of the GN'S there?? I am babysitting in Lara so I will have a great view of the planes circling and earphones for the noise

Dammit. Why can you never find somewhere that does exactly what you want? My small Mercedes sprinter has closed windows except for front ones, so gets pretty hot inside without sliding door open. I wanted opening window putting in back. Cant find anyone to do it. Grrrrrrrr
