:mrgreen: Oh no he isn't! Those K10s are where it's at. Especially 3 door, CVT versions in red with a limited edition flag on the rump that takes the form of a drag quean's name; Collette, etc.

Apologies to any drag queans who may be reading, I'm not suggesting that you have any commercial affiliation with Datsun. :)

Another All time favorite of mine is the Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi but finding an unmolested one now must be hard

I live in one of the cooler regions of Australia and the weather is a bit unpredictable. The local jokes are "If you don't like the weather in Melbourne, just wait five minutes." and "Melbourne - Four seasons in one day."

I was in London in December 2008 and I was surprised that it was pretty mild. It was 13 degrees C when I got on the plane at Heathrow and the same temp when I got off in Melbourne. But a few weeks later we had some 45+ degree C days here.

But yes, I reckon the weather here is generally better than the UK. I love getting the Moke out with the top down whenever I can. There is nothing better than limitless sky above and being out there with the world rather than cocooned in a tin box. I don't care where I am going, I just want to drive for the fun of it. The irony is that some summer days it's just too hot to take the Moke out, as I'd end up sunburnt in about five minutes.

Cheers,
