    I would like to have the stats presented and comparisons to other vehicles as well. Love unqualified statements....

    Statistics are great! They can be used to prove almost anything...

    They also need to redefine a City at the same time considering Parramatta is now classified as the centre of Sydney due to the increase in size compared to 20 years ago.

    Will this happen? F no
    As long as they follow the same reasoning out of the citys and ban non 4wd's. Otherwise NO. unless they provide secure parking at the city edge and an alternative vehicle at their expense.
    If they don't like this compromise then they can bit my shiny but.

    I had some idiot ask me once If I thought it was approprite to use a landrover to pick up a small box of parts when there were other more suitable vehicles available to the ADF....

    being in a bad mood I sort of said yeah they do, I'll be back...

    an hour later I had the driveway blocked off with an R series and 20 t plant trailer.....

    someone wasnt as amused as I was....

    I drove a current model Commodore sedan today (a rental ). I could not believe how poor the visibility was. The mirrors are tiny and when I looked over my right shoulder to merge I could not see a damn thing!
    When merging you have to use the force

    Getting back into the Disco was absolute bliss

    I remember the UK Ferrari importer being interviewed by a motoring mag years back, and he was asked how he safely merged when driving a LHD model he'd just bought in from Italy. His reply was he floored it and hoped like hell he didn't meet one of his customers already on the motorway.

    Talking Idiot

    "Idiot"

    A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controling. The idiots activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole" he has the last word in everything: his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashion and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speach and circumscribes conduct with a deadline.

    Ambrose Bierce, The Devils Dictionary

    Describes the tossers that wrote that article n their contributers.

    I need a Tow vehicle (compulsary for many reasons) so do Greenpeace want me to get rid of my 2.5L diesel 4wd built to european standards?

    or

    Go the 2wd way and buy a tow vehicle with a lot of cubic inches in engine displacement?
