Hi, I joined the site a couple of months ago as a virgin, and have now just completed my first 'practice' trip. This included 4 states and a Territory, some 6,500 klms over a 2 and a half week period - so I'm starting to get the hang of it! One thing I noticed is that pop tops are not very warm in southern NSW and...

Hi, Mazda last Friday finally put in heavier leaves in the bottom part of the springs after they had re-set the springs earlier. This was only done after I got fair trading involved and said I was prepared to go to court. The company that re-set the springs told me they would sag again so while they wer...
