Why wouldn't I be allowed to go there????
I have a National Parks Pass, we booked online, we take our own firewood in, we take all our rubbish out, plus what others leave behind.

Sorry, I was referring to what you said a while back about having to check with the local groups that won't talk to each other.

There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.

Frankly these new dash's are the most boring, un-inspring bit of design ever...

2025 Tuscon Hybrid..  prefer the SHMBO 2016 version.



Although does look remarkedly similar to my old 85 SD1 Rover V8.....   :laugh:  That car was a rocketship.

Yeah, well wood veneer..  loved that car, most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned.  Drove it 8 hours straight up to Sydney once and got out as fresh as I got in. In the wife's past Aurion or  current Tuscon, 2 hours is the limit for me (my JEEP is nearly as good as the Rover)..

The Rover was a manual, and could it haul ass. Never found a piece of road long enough to max it out, best I saw was well off the clock at 5100rpm in 5th gear (5000 rpm @ 240kph). So approx 260 kph...   :police:

Last of the 100% British Rovers before they went to Honda Clones.

Not long sold my Dad's. We had a P6 when I was in primary school, then Dad bought this SD1 nearly 20 years ago as a project car, but life got in the way, and having just had a brain tumer removed it was time for him to start downsizing.
I would of loved to take it on, but with a paddock and a shed full of "project" cars it was never going to get past the happy wife happy life test. :'(

Best of luck to you draining the swamp in Washington Mr Trump because I reckon you'll be wishing you were back on the hustings ducking bullets within the year. ::)
