Hi, The passenger seat of our Prado isn't very comfortable and makes my back and legs ache. The drivers seat is better, so I am guessing whoever had the car before was a heavier person and maybe flattened the cushioning of the seat. So my question is... Do you use any extra support on your seat on the long t...

But it's holiday time and the area is packed with tourists as you'd expect. I'm hoping GNs with experience during busy tourist seasons can advise me whether t...

Gday... There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy's father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence.

That is all in the past now and w...
