<offtopic> There is a Region in Australia called the "Australian Alps" - Ski resorts and snow most time of the year. I got stuck with a 4WD - loughing about road signs closed because of snow at 30°C outside - 2 hours and a couple thousand meters later i got stuck in 40cm of snow. This was during April. </offtopic> Flo -- Florian Lohoff f...@zz.de
