I have been told that when it rains & you are driving, the combined speed of the vehicle & the rain can force water under the seals of the window & boot.I can see how it could happen, but, does it happen in real...

Here's a look at the other side of the story, perhaps some of us need to look at the reasons people behave poorly toward Nomads. A sense of entitlement along with a poor attitude will certainly see all travelers looked at unfavourably. Treat others the way you would like them to treat you. https://www....

Am going to be in Port Hedland in a couple of weeks time. My 2009 Ford Ranger needs a 180,000km service. Can any GN's recommend a place to take the Ranger for a service that is reputable and does not charge like a wounded bull. thanks in anticipation.
