    Did they stop using the old technology before the new tech came along? No.
    So why should a different set of rules apply now?
    So why don't they get off their dot and invent the new technology, instead of bleating about everyone using the technology available?
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Now, now, Ian. One has to remember that, in recent times, there have been a few marvellous advancements in technology such as Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and the like.

    30 years ago you could have bought Burnett Heads for $69,000. Any how, Bargara is nicer.

    Walking and cycling might seem viable alternatives for some people. Not for those with arthritis, heart disease, etc. With poor public transport in the major cities and towns and non-existent in many country smaller communities, motor cars will remain an essential item for many.
