See! everyone, this is the diatribe that emanates from the
Yorke Peninsular when you poke the 'bears' that live there.
I'll have you galoots know that the long awaited piece of spectacular USA designed, finely engineered and high quality manufactured end 4WD product is currently on a marine vehicle transporter passing through the Panama canal.
(not to be confused with the Thebarton canal either)
The subject vessel is due to dock in the Port of
Melbourne on 20.12.04 and after unloading, the vehicle has to go through a myriad of bureaucratic procedures that are all designed to increase the end price and consequently the GST.
Bearing in mind the X-mas/new year cheer period when nothing gets done by anyone, I think I will be lucky to take delivery of this beast before the second week in January 05.
Unfortunately the national supply of bubble gum, chewing gum, blue tac, liquid paper and super glue has been monopolised by
Yorke Peninsular 'cockroach - pesticide' incorporated, so I'll just have to rely on the superior workmanship provided by the self confessed 'leader of the world'.
(please God don't let the new JEEP Cherokee, blow up or do anything emabarrasing and I'll be a good boy for ever and ever, otherwise I'll never be able to show my face 'over there' again. )
PS
and I haven't forgotten the 'coldie' debt account. Caused by an embarrassment that cannot be mentioned.
