slipjack427 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I live in NJ and will be moving to the central coast in NSW with in a few months time. I have been working on a 1970 R-400 for the last 5 years and was wondering if they ever made any 400s down-under and if it would be worth it to ship it over Thanks Pete.

other dog Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 How about Ontario? I hear it's nice...but i've always wanted to visit Canada. I'm afraid if I go up there they wouldn't let me back in when I tried to come back Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

(registration is then about AUD55).I live just south of Sydney, but there are quite a few Mack guys up where you are going.Good Move Regards, Rod.
