Photos I took this morning:
MKS




Looks like it wants to take on a CTS.

Are they marketed against each other?

This one showed up in my e-mail but just had to share it.



Reminds me of some experiences I had back in college!

I was in Buenos Aires last week and Mas asked mne if I had any pics - No in short as I've been many times. Here however are some pics of a holiday we had in Argentina a few years back. Its a wonderful country. Enjoy.

1. Lighthouse at the end of the world, Beagle Channel.
2. Patagonia
3. Humawuaca
4. Perito Moreno glacier (blue, blue ice)
5. Torres de Pine (just over the Patagonia border in Chile)

PS the lads have grown since then!

RHP, Thank you very much - almost makes me want to go and see for myself - but then I think of the cold and become more enthused about tropical climes - I may have to wait for global warming

RHP, first the "bad news" a bit over the top for the big-mouth loud tourists in floral Hawaiian shirts - - http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/zw-c...ce/New_Zealand
now the good stuff http://travel.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=418596 , http://www.mydriveholiday.com/ (get a small one as it is easier to get around), stay here http://www.goseenewzealand.co.nz/, and more links http://au.travel.yahoo.com/guide/new...gs-to-see.html , then don't forget Australia is "just across the ditch".... Hope this helps...

Mas you are undoubtedly a gentlemen and worthy of all your rep points (what a complement!).

We're currently looking into the cost of flights, if NZ proves too expensive we'll be exploring Chile from end to end which would also be a great trip.

Will keep you posted however for now, Oz is off the map.

I think I found a new "home" https://www.kitcomm.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10 see you there (the rules MUST be read and the access takes a "bit of effort" - no fees, and a 7 day waiting period to familiarise ones-self before posting is permitted - Oh and respond after carefully reading and complete the process described in the activating email)

Mas those rivet heads are bigger than your fist - one of those in the side of your new cat and the darn thing would start listing!

Ahhhhh - - I am not that small - actually about 1 inch to 1.5 inch diameter.... Put a green wash over the image and they could be "the little folk".... Our "not with us aircraft carrier the Sydney, was made in that method, as were several famous bridges Sydney harbour "coathanger" and Brisbane's Story Bridge....
