Hi Bob,
Looks like not until end of April...
Chile is great, but I'd kill to have the T here, there are many deserts to cross and REAL montains to climb. Frustrating thing is that I have only seen them as city pose vehicles - there are 2 in our street but they never get dirty!!!!
So it's down to Avis for a R & D (rent and destroy) special. We had great fun for 2 weeks with a 2.5l R5 petrol powered 6sp DSG VW Vento sedan from Avis. Made in mexico, they are a really nice little jigger - plenty of GO and handling tight to boot. Build quality solid germanic - no rattles after the 2500km of punishment we gave it in the south of Chile. Quite impressive...
