Jim, You don't have to go from Paris to Dakar to see those rigs. In the summer you can see them right here in Washington. Many Germans think that's what they need to navigate the Pacific Northwest. Btw, say hi to Lisa, and thanks for the holiday greetings. Wish you both a happy christmas and new years. For those interested, you can see one of those beasts with our westy here.

If so, tough trucks. Seen pics of them with 2 meters of air under the tyres. Jim
