Going OK, but not out of the woods yet. I've halved my dosage of meds in order to make them last a bit longer and wean myself off the effects. The Fairlane is a large car here in Oz. It's a little bigger than the Falcon and with better appointments. This had premium leather, piano black center console, a groovy screen for the audio and climate systems, power everything, six-speed sequential auto and it was pretty quiet as well. BUT, the engine was crap and I hope Saab never use piano black effect inside as all it does is show fingerprints (and if it's imitation plastic like the Ford then it looks cheap). They use Fairlanes as cushy transport for the parliamentary members around Canberra (amongst other vehicles). I would have hired a garden variety sedan but we got a free upgrade from the rental company. It’ll be two weeks tomorrow since my last ciggie, Eggs. Going OK, but not out of the woods yet.

Like, think of a Focus with Crown Vic proportions. James – The Aussie Fairlane looks like a really big Focus. Like, think of a Focus with Crown Vic proportions.

I wonder if they are going to make this event similar to the one in California Gripen 1985 did the reporting for. It should be cool no matter what. Good luck and enjoy!
