Discovered on the weekend that the carport/lean to at the caravan park in Moama was not high enough to fit the car with my MTB on the roof. Doh!
End result not too bad, seat took all the impact so a new one was duly purchased the next day. Choices were limited so I am now giving a Specialized "split for your bits" style a go.

I'll also admit to being the owner of a Mexican Fender Strat that i bought new in the USA about 15 yrs ago and have been happy with. But I'd swap it in an instant for a nice Gretsch hollow body!
