Road trip

Off to Brisbane tomorrow (the big city) to meet up with SB and collect new wheels.  Weathermen are predicting a summer as bad as last year so have done a deal on a tidy Prado.  

http://stevesmotorworld.com.au/   is the place to go for a good cheap 4WD

If you're tripping out from the UK, buying a cheap set of wheels can be cheaper than a hire car (especially for backpackers)  Aussie rego (road tax) includes basic insurance, so a ready to go car is just that - ready to go.  And Aussie cars (Falcons, Commodores) are built for the roads.  Just don't buy a red one.

Three Aussies in a bar discussing their cars.

Ocker 1 says I've got a Falcon, its deep metallic blue and I call it Blue Thunder.

Ocker 2 says Well I've got a Falcon, its Diamond White and I call it White Lightening.

Ocker 3 says (sheepishly) I've got a Falcon as well.  And I call it Clitoris 'cos its bright red and every cunts got one!
