Whats one of these worth new??

The highly intermittent nature of electrical power supply in WA now appears
to be threatening our ability to drive.  Today, as I drove through Balcatta,

Anyone know what is the fuel consumption of the VZ adventra:

or a Hyundai Excel (ony due to its fuel economy).
Any suggestion about what would be a good car to buy in that

types out in the WA wheatbelt... is this a popular opinion or rural myth?
Just wondering...

Is it just North Queensland or does everyone have problems with these rules?
1. turning left at an intersection - it seems a good majority of drivers
