not sure about that. But one thing that I do know is that if they buy a US truck, they have to get it converted to right hand drive....which would equal big $$$. I was actually born and partially raised in Australia. Sale, Victoria to be exact.

not really much of any at all. I grew up in Australia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. I spent the first 18 years of my life overseas, then came back to the US for college and am still here now

I smoked a chicken for Axel, with baked mashed potatoes, ranch style beans, garlic bread, corn, sweet peas. I also took him for a ride in Black Beauty to the store that he got charged an extra dollar for beer than he should have, apparently the India guy behind the counter had six fingers on one hand. Had good beer, good conversation. Going to try and catch the Astros' Game tomorrow, they are playing the Cubs and he has never been to a MLB base ball game, then head to the Johnson Space Center, so he can be one of the few that live in his country that has seen where a shuttle has been that has been on the moon.
I have to admit, I really enjoyed the visit and that my friends is NO BS
