    What must I do to keep kids happy

    About 10 days ago we went to the snow (Lake Mtn) to show the kids hava a play and spend time in Marysville after the fires, the residents are inspirational and want visitors so go up for a coffee and lunch etc. Next day we took the kids to play in the mud at Wesburn and now I think they wouldnt have seen much at all we are also heading to Merrimbula in a few weeks also.
    A few days later while having a coffee at Dads work a brick mysteriously went through my window and my wallet also flew out the window. It has shown me a flaw in the car. Having a 3 door 7 seat with tint to hide my items and keeping me from getting sunburnt (I am fair skinned) means the kids cant see or lower the windows to see easier or feel the air etc.
    Now I am in a place that I am thinking that all the thousands spent on my car is wasted because I should have bought a 7 seat 5 door as I have 3 kids under 7. It would be ok with the 3 door with one or maybe 2 kids but it seems unfair on them on to keep them with out proper windows,
    I love the three door and getting kids in and out is really easy now I am thinking OH heck or OH FAR-OUT!
    Is there any options of finding a realist way around this problem with out cutting my roof off.

    Oh more money gone I can see this

    Hey Blackie Sth is where my window was smashed behind Blackburn Rubber Stamps so if you see a wallet floating around let me know, I jsut want my kids pics back which what annnoys me the most
    As for the Defender I am thinking of that but am worried about space for me as I am 6ft, 110kgs and last time I sat in one I felt squashed and my concern is rust or are they no worse than a Disco.

    I may have made an error or was I mistaken

    As for the Rattly county I can now see the logic I just wish I had seen it prior to buy Stue as a project.

    come and try "Duck" if you want....i'm 6ft and 90 odd kgs and find it more comfy than most cars. Wifes volvo is the luxury car and i still feel more at home in "Duck"...
    had a Disco, ES , leather, cruise and all the standard jazz. Loved it. Then upgraded to 'Fender.... hose out interior when kid gets car sick.....

    Will go and have a look out the back of the stamps place... it our local take away spot around there.... will speak to Con at the fish and chip shop too.

    Is the stamp place your dad's business? Might have to go in and say HI. I'm the Gl at 9th boxhill and could do with some stamps so might be able to thow some business his way.
