Hi, how good is the Adria Twin 600 ? Is it smooth and quiet to drive ? Much road noise or like a car? cheers

I thought I'd share an incident that happened to us a few years ago. We wanted to sell a car. A buyer came along and liked the car enough to place a $200 deposit (+ written receipt) on it on a Saturday and would return on the Wednesday to collect and pay the balance.

Hi all !! On our next trip, we plan to do 4wd excursions without the van. We will need to leave the caravan somewhere- sometimes just overnight, sometimes for a few nights. Do most caravan parks offer cheaper storage sites? Any ideas or tips would help; maybe you even know how much we need to expect to...

OK, there are a hell of of a lot more check and balances in place after.... after the vehicle has hit the sales yard, But I am amased at the number of recal...

This morning I recieved the rego. renewal for our caravan, last year it was $480 this year its $318 (Tare weight 2300, GVM 3040). I think that this is a pretty decent reduction but I bet that it's still a lot more than what you guys in the other states are paying. Registration fee - $66 Motor vehicle tax - $2...

Hi everybody, Me and my wife are travelling to Spain for a vacation next month. We would love to rent a car for a week, so can anyone tell me do we need to ask for some kind of a permit, or can we just sit in the car and drive with our Australian driving licence? Thanks.
