Regarding the comment "Up until recently diesel engines were the
preserve of European imports, but in the past 18 months Holden, Ford
and Mazda have all launched diesel-powered mid-sized
sedans.".........had no idea there was a mid-size Holden diesel. What
is it? Surely not the Astra?

Honda looks alright though, if a little predictable. ;-)

Faaark, just checked out a 2007 Landcruiser at the local dealership, low
kilometreage, unmarked throughout and still has the new smell, plus all the
nice goodies, cruise, mags, 6 stacker, plus auto.

At $39,990 (which means you could possibly get it for $35,990) I thought,
there must be something wrong here. Then I went around the back and noticed
a little badge that said it all.

Can you guess what it said?

Tomorrow I take delivery of two brand new 380's.

I have purchased these as investments for my two grandchildren.
I have hired a storage area and will fully wrap these vehicles up so little
to no air gets near the paintwork and inside.

I have promised Teghan and Rafer they can have the cars to use or sell on
their 18th birthdays.

$26,000 each now they should be worth in the 60k area in 14-16 years

My 1989 Hilux has the 6-stud steel split rims. I want to change to
some normal steel rims so I don't have to worry about tubes anymore.

I would've thought that the current model Hilux's steelies would just
fit straight on, so I rang up Toyota for a price. After I told the guy
from the parts department that I was intending to do a straight swap
on my '89, his words were "Oooh I wouldn't bet on that".

Why would Toyota change stud patterns? I find that very unlikely
considering how popular and wide-spread the Landcruiser/Hilux rims
are. To make something like that no longer "backwards compatible"
would be just stupid.

I'll find out eventually but I thought some of you guys might know for
sure.
