Default Back from a trip, what have I missed?

Just back from a week's trip to sunny Mildura. Bit of a family thing so we took tha Lane and the AU11, both performed admirably, though I cannot give the Fed Govt any brownie points for the condition of the Sturt Highway especially between Renmark and Mildura. Needs undulations removed, widened and a few overtaking lanes to say the least. Once again the ol' LWB won hands down in ride comfort. I kept swapping driving between the AU and the Lane and I got a bit concerned how easily the AU steering wheel is to jerk around its so light. These B-doubles kick up a fair bit of a wake and a plume of muddy spray so you don't want to be stuck behind them for long. So planting the foot down and overtaking, cracking a good 145 klix at least to get right ahead and away from them you need to hang onto the wheel pretty damn tight! Whereas in the Lane the same exercise somehow feels more stable and
firm. Anyway I'm just starting to catch up on some posts, and I see AFF will be migrating soon? A new ISP? Was the site down owing to this change?
