Hi Ken,

Have a great time and I hope you see a few T-series cars! Wouldn't that be something?

Cheers and safe return.

Not very relevant, but I watched Good Morning Vietnam recently (starring Robin Williams and was made in Thailand in the '80s) and there's a scene of the city traffic and a Holden Kingswood and Chrysler Valiant goes past. Didn't know we sent those there.
