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.

Rather than add to milo's thread about his Dad in general forum I thought I'd just share my own journey over the past week.

Wow, what a adventurous few days since leaving Adelaide. I decided to go to Mildura and have a couple of things done to Miss Daisy, and actually from where I was in Adelaide it was easier to go that way to Melbourne than travelling back through town and the hills. Really about the same amount of time, will...

Hi, I find that a small number of members on this forum seem to think that wasting their time with idiotic responses could possibly be intelligent or useful. I thank those who have bothered to provide much appreciated help, but I wont be wasting my time on this forum in future. Perhaps the responsible p...
