Gee Mike, youv'e been in the States for how long now?
And already you have forgotten how to spell!

I hope you are continuing to drive on the correct (left) side of the road, though!

I have a mate Viet Vet, (Non- MLU), do you mind if I send him your email address?

No Mate, send the 'hard to press' (email address) right along to ya mate, just so long as he's a dinkum cobber, knows how ta spell 'cheque' an' ya can even send him the O D Calogne number as well if youse like....

Seriously, Howie, when in Rome, I've learnt to spell as the Romans do.... and driving on the LEFT would be fatal, so my sense of survival tells me the right side is the right side over'ere!

Chilly here: how's Gan-b****y-main's weather this day?

Your ex-pat cobber

Next thing Mike will be spelling 'tires' and saying 'windshield'.

To get back to the thread, Mike's book 'Mud and Dust' is outstanding and I highly recommend it.

Agreed. I also have a copy and it is a great read and reference source.

Thanks, Gents, most of the feedback about the book has been very positive.

While driving in North America: ' ......and I looked out the left side of the windshield and saw the pick up in front had a flat tire'

But while driving in Oz: ' .......and I looked through the right side of the windscreen and saw the Ute in front had a flat tyre'
