yea right,V6 likes to drink very much,more than me ;D and one liter of fuel in CRO is like 2.50 AU$ :'(...When i was in Wollongong 3 years ago i couldn't get real when i saw how much cheap do u drive ;D

u know, one mate in one tub club in Sydney told me the same thing about our team and i told him - normally u like Croatians when half of your soccer team is from Croatia ;D ;D

just joking ;)

Ha ha, that's very true.  Was funny when Australia played Croatia in the World Cup, Croatia vs Croatia A. 

No need to suck up, I'm a Kiwi, we bloody hate Aussies, we just come here and use their racetracks.

Petrol will $2.50 here before too long.

Hey Sheldon

We don't hate Kiwis, although we do enjoy the odd kiwi joke, we migrate there for ski season since you have better snow conditions and its cheaper than Aus, we get to go overseas and can buy duty free, and your beer is far better than Fosters, VB, xxxx etc. 

One day we might annexe NZ and it will become a part of Aus once more, afterall it was once, albeit a few milleniums ago.   

Won't mention the NZ cricket or especially rugby and the All Blacks as we know how important they are to NZ.

You are not wrong re petrol being soon $2.5.  It is already $1.70 + for premium in Tas in places.  Mind you being from Tassie and therefore having an inferiority complex re the Mainland, as a Kiwi, I know where you are comming from.

Cheers Dave
