Screw Brisbane and come to Adelaide instead!

I'm already going to one of those cities to see Iron Maiden in February, so not sure about this yet. Might have to sleep on a bench for the weeks after the Maiden show in Sydney until this! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I think the only reason why Ford's build quailty is much better than Holden's is because they have time to stand around and build it right! images/smilies/tongue.gif

There's a big difference between reliability and quailty!

Meh. Melbourne isn't THAT far away. How pissed off would you be if you lived in Perth ...

All I'm waiting on now is for tickets to go on sale. I've already convinced at least one mate to come with me (well ... not so much convincing him as telling him he's going - and he instantly agreed images/smilies/wink.gif).
