    New car for OZ...

    Hello everyone

    For anyone that cares - everything is awesome down here in OZ!

    Gaz - if you're still heading this way this year, I'm down in Melbourne now, so give me a shout :D

    Ok, so CARS - I've now got a 300 bhp boat which needs towing around so i need to get a BIG car.. I'm thinking either a discovery v8i or a landcruiser....???

    What are people's thoughts & recomendations ???? Don't know much about 4x4's

    Ah, Janos ...

    My uncle drags his nautique around with a ford pick up, which is cheap to run and insure etc and seems to take an impossible amount of punishment. basically an older version of this ....



    Toyota's are also very reliable, if you recall top gear when they tried to destroy one and it kept coming back for more, even after sinking in the sea lol

    but you might want to go for something like this, hehe



    ps - you are actually going down ...

    Hi mate, sounds like your enjoying yourself..... :D .....We fly out on 31st March to Sydney then get an internal flight to Cairns and pick up a camper van and start heading down....not to sure how we'll get on for time so we'll have to see if we make it down as far as Melbourne cause we need to get back to Syndey for the flight home.....that's if we'll want to go home

    Will keep in touch.
