)
(Preview)

E-bay feedback on many vendors strongly suggest they are simply lying about the blanket's output often suggesting twice, or more!, what the blanket is capable of. Kings (4WDSupacentre) who I though were OK receive *...

How are towing capacities determined?
(

Here are some examples which, to my mind, are inconsistent and/or contradictory:- 2008 Mitsubishi 380 - kerb weight 1,665 kgs - engine power 175 kw / 343 nm - towing capacity 1,600 kgs 2...

Woolworth mobile phone plans - worth a look, I suggest
(Preview)
I've just switched my phone to a Woolworth plan simply because they are offering a 10% discount on shopping once a month. I have been a Woolworth shopper for years and prefer them to Coles and they are generally one hell of a lot cheaper than IGAs; I spend around $400 to $500 per month on food (I eat well :) )...

They are non load sharing (load not even even on all tyres, they are higher (more unstable), and have high traction tyres (what for). ...

I am interested in comments from anyone who has purchased and uses the NCE 12 volt oscillating fan. Yeah, it is expensive and there a lots of alternatives, but I would like some user comments.
