Des Lexic
The CEO and I will be away for a week at Willow Creek and Arkaroola.
I'll try not to bend anything this time.
Catch you after Anzac Day

hi Macca
I think it was just a brief name change in reference to my son's new nick name for Des....Callum holds Mr Lexic in some awe...he had a small jar of Jelly Beans in the
little desert and he had a BIG jar of jelly beans at
home over
easter...so much so that callum just referred to him as "jellybean"...ahahhahahaha..kids...don't you love them...

Hi Allan'
I checked out your rig
pic 'cause we have a challenger too and noticed that you call your geolander tyres'stupid'. I am almost ready to buy a set of geo GO11A/T +2. They are they all terrain version. Are you seriously dissatisfed with yours?
I also notice a 6 stacker Kenwood CD. Will that plug into the standard Mitsi tape/cd deck? The mitsi stacker is worth $800 the dealer tells me which would blow my budget for entertainment while driving.
Thanks in anticipation,
Camper

Hi Camper,
The Challenger is fitted with Geolander 039's which aren't much better than road tyres and are standard fit to new Pajero's and Challengers and I consider stupid for a 4x4 wagon. In fact I call them "Hollywood " tyres (remember those guys can make tyres squeal on dirt and grass as
well as the road) Maybe the the tyre you have selected is okay but when I run these down a bit more it wont be Geolanders that will be going back on.
Check out their site at(
http://www.yokohama.com.au/Tyres/tyre.asp?TyreId=46).As far as the Kenwood goes , yes it will plug into the standard deck but you might be a bit disappointed with the operation and appearance of the head unit.so we opted for the full Kenwood set.
