Had my Mazda Bravo 4x4 2.5 ltr turbo diesel for 8 years now and rarely used 5th gear. Yesterday I was towing my 4.2 mtr tinny home from Stansbury to Adelaide (SA). (200 kms).

G'Day, Heading off next week again and want to get some of the above. Now they come either with holes or without holes. I understand that with holes when used on soft wet muddy ground they will pump the mud up. The solid ones don't do this but do they get slippery or whatever??? Any particular colo...

Took half an hour to make up my bed and longer to have some breakfast, Patty called in to say good morning and told me to sit down and relax....

It seems as though (to my limited knowledge) quite a few dog-owning members here have a maltese terrier as a pet. Afterall, some even use same in their avatar pic! This got me wondering......hence the subject title. PLEASE NOTE: I am currently looking after two maltese cross dogs for a friend (one old...
