No, not mad, although some would say I am already mad. Me, myself and I, oh, and Jenni came with us, have gone from Greens Lake and now in South West Gippsland. We will be here for 3 weeks then heading North to bend some bananas for a while.

This company specializes in importing these from overseas, I assume Japan by the small kms (for the year) on them. Most of them seem to be 1998 models, although they have plenty of extras.
