Looking at buying a S/H 2000 model Millard Challenger 16ft. The dealer quotes a tare weight of 1100 kg but the rego states 1200kg which I feel is more the mark . Owning to the forward kitchen the ball weight gets up to around 125 kg . Looks great but weight may kill my 2.5 lt Subura Outback so still in th...

For anyone looking for an adrenalin rush I can recommend v8 super cars. I did 8 laps in a commodore out at Mallalla raceway this afternoon, oh boy was it fun.

The seventh would pay $7. The eighth woul...

No Crowhursting is a phrase I hadnt heard before. It means dont send home cheerful false messages when things are going horribly wrong.
