    Thank you for your Orders, Survey Answers, and Marti Reports!

    Hi Paul from New Zealand, have to assume you have seen my order. This is a fantastic job you are doing. I was on holiday in Australia recently and picked up a GT/CS model. Really lucky as they did not come to NZ and was finding it hard to order from the US and get sent to NZ. Best Regards Chris
