For anyone who has been frustrated with the slow deliveries from DX in the past, they have now opened AUD.DX.COM, and are claiming 3 to 5 business day delivery. Worth a try.

Hi, I assume that many members would be aware of the cheaper diesel at the BP Depot in the back streets of Wilcannia. We went there in early June, and were horrified to find it was the same as in the main street. We checked again in late July on the way home, and saved 9 cents per litre. Not sure what went on, bu...

Hi, I have recently had one of these fitted to my 15 ft poptop.
