i think that if it is a spot in australia, there are things there, wherever it may be, that can and will kill a person.

on another note, i figured out how to the drain the coolant without making a huge mess: if i pull the hose off of the water pump block off plate and let that drain, then pull the block off plate and remove the tiny thermostat for the turbo charger, it all drains in the same place. if i pull the drain plug from the radiator, it gets everywhere.

anyway, the new block off plate and O-ring are supposed to be delivered today, so i may have my car back by this afternoon. the upside is that the car got new coolant, twice, so i am thinking that the cooling system should be pretty happy.
