Hi all, just wondering if anybody has noticed the weight of gas swaps at bunnings seem to be lighter than when you have them refilled at a normal gas refilling station. -- Edited by gitsho on Friday 11th of October 2013 09:54:32 AM

The time has come for us to upgrade to a LandCrusier diesel auto. with towing capacity 3500kgs. Have spent time scanning the internet, but a little confused re all the info. Would like a 2004 - 05 model, and is that the 100 series that I hear so much about? I think we would prefer a dealer but also open to pri...

Read an interesting newsletter from a friend today. They have been in Broome for five years and they say tourism has gone downhill over those 5 years. Shops are closing. Economic downturn because the gas people are not allowed. Maybe there will be some spots in those caravan parks for everyone now.

Yes, the new motor has arrived in Port Augusta today. Workshop have already started on installation, so should be on our way by early next week at least. Motor comes with two year or 40,000km guarantee, so that's good. Maybe I should rename the cruiser Black Beauty. -- Edited by Kiwi-as on Thursday 10...

Hey all, there is a really cool "sticky" called Pick this Place. Don't forget to go and have a look. Basically someone posts a picture from somewhere in Aust, and we all get to try to guess where it is. If you guess right, you get to post the next picture. This was started few years ago by Hyl...

Is there any way that you can improve the towing performance of petrol engines as I test towed a new caravan yesterday and I really felt the weight of the van, it did weigh around 3000kg but I have towed a 2500kg van previously and it was a breeze. This one I felt and it turned me off buying the caravan and it i...
