Hi folk out there in GN land. Wonder if I could ask your opinion on towing with a 2009-2010 Auto 2WD Petrol 3.6l Holden Colorado. What are your opinions? Any and all appreciated, any Links appreciated as well. Thanks folk, travel safe and stay happy

Myrtle goes in tomorrow morning for her heart transplant. Sam rang this arvo. If I have trouble starting her in the morning he will send over one of his guys. Not sure how long she will be in there for. Will keep you updated.

Men never seem to think about the danger of some of the jobs that they do......... you've got to love the techniques they conjure up to get the jobs done.

Did anyone see Bill The Kid on Discover Downunder on TV on Saturday afternoon (4.30pm)? He was supposed to be on the Charlieville leg booking into a caravan park I think? We had visitors so I missed it.

I know car salesmen get a bad rep most of the time,but the guy who we bought the "Tardis" from has been excellent, well and beyond after sales ..

I have seen threads at different times that recommended Nappisan for Porta Potties. Not having a pottie, I've only ever given these threads a quick glance. We called in to our van builder yesterday morning to have a couple of freebie added before heading up along the Murray. One of the things we left wi...

hello all I recently had purchased a caravan that had the vin plate weights altered by the dealer to a weight 400kgs less than what it actually weighed. Unfortunately I believed the dealer and took the van but on the travels it felt heavy and pulled the prado. Does anybody know the legalities of this Ken...

Too nice of a day to stay inside. Off to meet an american couple and get pissed at the beer garden. Please excuse any late night posts :)

Whenever I've put my caravan or campervan in for service or repair etc, i've always removed everything I can, including tools and personal valuable (eg; TV/Radio/Laptop etc). My reasoning is that it is better to do that rather than have a dispute later about anything that is missing. Bearing in min...
