Cars Australia

Apparently, 90% of caravans are overloaded in QLD.

New Caravan owners also don’t know how to tow.

Before the Chevy Goliath came the Ferd Fteenthousand 🤣

Ai generates the images, but it's becoming all too real 🤣

Wakefield Park raceway was closed last August after a court limited race days to four per month.

It's estimated the track contributed almost $17 million annually to the Goulburn economy.

It was sold in March and the new owners have plans to reopen the track by the end of the year.

The skill and absolute balls of these guys. Makes me wanna fire up Colin McCrae rallying again.

And idk why, but those Group B cars hit different

Need help choosing a car. Cross posted into cars as well

Need a car that primarily has the capacity to tow 2 tonnes, as it's going to be used to tow a 1.6T car + dual axel trailer + loaded with sundries ect for Melbourne and Sydney and inbetween to take a car to carshows. Expect to be towing 2 weekends a month.

Is also going to be the only everyday use car so needs to get into the underground/multistory carparks just fine.

My building is a 1.7m height limit on the parking garage due to using stacking carlifts. So anything that is a classic 4WD is most likely out.

Not too concerned about make/model but I don't want to just go with a SUV or a dualcab ute (personal choice, getting up into those raised cars is actually harder for wheelchair access). Things like the old outbacks I've seen put into the SUV category on carsales but i wouldnt consider them a SUV as the seats are at normal car height.

What's out there that I might have missed on the second hand market around the 20-25k that is going to be a balance of city runaround and towing??

Top contender right now is the Golf wagon alltrack.

We can and should be allowed to drive faster on our freeways and motorways; but don’t think governments will let it happen overnight.

What are peoples’ opinions of the new Victorian distracted driving rules?

My interpretation is that they are more lenient than the previous rules in some ways but much more onerous in others.

This one's personal 😞

I dont wanna alarm anyone, but I saw an MG the other day with NSW plates on it. They've obviously got the reliability to a point where you can at least make Albury to Melbourne. Maybe in 2-3 years it can make QLD.
