Thanks everyone.
Truck booked, car goes at the end of this week and I go next week. We are already planning drives to the coast and through the hills. There is a town with a nice old pub on the way to the coast, I think it starts with B and will possibly be my new favourite destination for a Sunday drive or maybe I'll head west, not sure.
Will make a change from not being able to drive during the day because of the heat.
Yes looking forward to summernats. My next door neighbour here ( ha, 50kms away, I have to get used to being a bit closer to people now ) is coming down. We have been practicing yelling " Show us your..." insert inappropriate language as required because apprently we have to yell it a lot.
