Wheel arch "spats"
(Preview)
Hi All, I've just purchased my fifth van, a Windsor Rapid, and I noticed a chip out of one of the maroon coloured wheel arch "spats".

The Lakes Hwy Tasmania
(Preview)
Hi, I'm half way through five weeks in Tassie. Currently in the south. The drive down the Midland Hwy was terrible with more road work at 40klh than normal road. A couple of people have suggested going back to Devonport on the Lakes Hwy. I'll be towing a 2500kg van. Has anyone used that road recently?

Yesterday during a heat wave the power went out (temporarily) at home and I was most uncomfortable, that's putting it mildly! Anyway, as we live by the Murray River we could potentially lose power, sewer & water for 3 months (we are going away for a few weeks which will help). I was thinking about bu...

Resetting Forum Password
(Preview)
This is possibly a "Cindy" issue but after hacking experiences with Facebook, is it necessary to change our password here from time to time? Do other members change theirs? I know other forums are similar where we use the same password year in, year out.
