We just bought a new Supreme 'van and have had the usual Aussie made problems with it. Sadly, the quality is not matched to the price we paid for it, but talking to independent caravan repairers, all of the 'van makers are pretty much the same - charge heaps and average to poor quality.

I've torn out my alarm system & de-registered from the Neighbourhood Watch. I've got two Pakistani flags raised in my front garden, one at each corner and the black flag of ISIS in the centre. The local police, ASIO and other intelligence services are all watching my house 24/7. I've never fel...

When I did my big lap during 07 and 08, I had Vic. number plates on my Astina car. I reckon I was pulled up at least one or 2 times a week by the cops, and was never booked.
