OJ Downunder
Hi Guy's
Just thought I'd let you all know the safe arrival of Yezzi's 73 downunder, picked her up from the shipping agent yesterday although it did arrive couple of weeks ago but customs here aren't the quickest, have to say thanks to Yezzi for his patience in completing this transaction prior to OJ leaving US soil and also to Mike from Northern towing, he did a great job of getting the truck where it had to be in Long Beach, wish I knew about Mike earlier could have saved both Yezzi and myself alot of aggrevation.
No plans with OJ other than just drive and enjoy, have a few events coming up shortly so intend on clockin up some miles.
Looking forward to reading some more on Blue J Yezzi, hows that going.

Cheers again guy's
Mick.

I would love to get a Right hand drive truck from down under myself.

That's one clean truck!

Re: OJ Downunder
Thanks guys
Yeah OJ has been receiving the thumbs up from those that have seen it for the first time, everyone loves the interior and the fact the paint has stood the test of time over nearly forty years, as well as the engine bay, so yeah
she's been clocking up some miles over the last week, she's a tough looking truck.
All good
