Yeah, Me an Ozzie
I had all the front and sides with white mold wrap plastic from Johnson Tint. So it is scratch proof , well. almost. It is easy to clean and especially after off road during the holidays
But I lived in Sweden , my daughters lived in Melbourne with the wife for now
Now in Christchurch with CERA doing small work
Ford Territory, well , too many breakdown. The radiators always got heated up easily.

Not good. We had another aftershock yesterday 5.3
Last Monday Earthquake was 6.3, followed by 5.5 aftershock. 40 aftershocks alone on that night alone
I came down in end Jan. Then we had the Feb EQ. Restoration work were beginning then this one came. I really do not know where to start or begin
A few suburbs will be deem inhabitable.
We collected in excess of 200 tons of silts !

I only came here because there was some works for me and Rugby World Cup is around the corner. I played footie and I got some free tickets to the games.
Hmmmm.... Silts is like kinda sands. It came up after the shake from the ground together with the black water . We call it Liquefaction. Once the water receded, you have this black yuckie, gooey sand everywhere. It is like mud but more refine in nature.
If you have been to Salt Lake Water Race track where they do those speed race, the texture is more like that but this is black not white.
