A D2 should go under, so yes a D2 is also a contender.

I see. That's why I don't want to change the original set up on my D2 as said last week in a tyre thread don't even want to go to a larger diameter. I would love a lift but love having my D2 as a daily drive too.

However me rabbiting on doesn't help you does it Max.

Best of luck with it mate.

Convert it to airbags and dump them to park

I would short list for small cars:

Mazda 3 for price and reliability
Ford focus very nice sporty car and not bad on price
VW golf european is better but pricey
Audi ? dont know much about them but you all think they are ok
Subaru outback, impreza or forester are all good not expensive for what you get and they are bringing out a diesel soon.

Large:

I dont like the Bit are missing (mitsubishi) badge as everything behind it is crap so no magots even the 380.

Falcons love the juice but are nice to drive and the XR models hold value fairly well.

Comondoors are rubbish and drive like a giant Hyundia but better on juice than a Falcon and would be much more prefered by me than a bitsa.

Just my opinion good luck but dont sell the Tusker

Jeeez, haven't moved in yet, & you've got us moving out again!!

Current plan is to use a few frequent flier points, fly down to Melbourne Saturday & wander round the Motor Show.

I'd go for one of these.

Mazda 3 MPS, same floor pan as Focus and small Vulva, turbocharged 2.3litre 4 cyl, more power than Focus and s*its on it too. Have a mate with one and it is amazing.

My choices would be:

Mazda 3, Golf Tdi, Audi A3, Subaru Forester, BMW 318

No Fords, Holdens or Toyota's .. but that is just me!

Tusker:

1). Raise the building
2). Dig out the drive - much easier
3). Let down the tyres
4). Smaller rims and tyres
5). Why does it have to go under the building?
