That can't be right.  Apart from them being 2-lanes, Luca is describing our
Western Australian roads and roadhouse food.  Want to go to the nearest
State capital?  Simple, drive east for 2 days, then turn south.  For
mountain roads, drive east for 3 days, but pay attention in case you  miss
them.

Saw (and heard 8*)) a Lancia Stratos on Tuesday.  Now that's what I call a
grey (well blue actually) import.  LHD too.
