    Maybe a tough cargo net? not sure how you would secure it though. Is there some sort of space where a spare used to reside? My wife’s Atto 3 has an insert (see below pic) that is spare wheel shape, that holds the tyre inflator etc, that you can pull out. Does your car have this type of insert...

    I do hope that spare is strapped down Sean.

    Mercedes Benz has finally unveiled their BEV heavy duty trucks to the world with a big roadshow. It will be interesting to see how they go, how far they can go & what sort of payloads they can carry. Watch this space. Their approach to the look of the truck is 180 degrees to ours. Volvo wanted...

    That looks like a pretty spectacular event. Thanks for all the amazing images. For me the most spectacular thing here is that stunning green Monaro interior. Styria’s son has done a magnificent job.

    Leanne had a space saver in her Nissan, and it got her out of trouble twice. for a work commuter car, it does ok. Plus a full size would really compromise her boot space which she uses to the max with her school stuff. As I travel a lot, I’d hate for her to get a flat out of hours, wait for a...

    Good call Brian. But how good does it look ❤️ I’ve driven the 200B sedan, but not the coup. I drive the Mini, if I want a spectacular handling car, then there is the Dodge which is a truck, so hopefully the Datto, may be in the middle somewhere I’d hope 😂 180B SSS maybe?

    Agree mate. With the BEV’s, the OEM says it’s all about weight, but we live in Australia and may want to use the range the x par comes with. Tesla now not only does not provide a spare, but also now don’t provide any charger or cables. They say it’s all about weight, but we all know it’s not. A...

    Some really great cars in those posts, thanks for these Bryce. Funny thing though, out of all of them, this is the one I’d like to add to my garage.

    Very good points Sean. Ive never seen a car delivered with spot on tyre pressures. My company X Trail has to be serviced by Nissan, and it has a tyre pressure monitoring system, and when it was last serviced, it came back with between 25-28 psi all round, where I delivered it to them with the...

    Nice pick up Brian. I think, this is where I was traveling when we ran into each other at Qantas security. This is our company demo unit, and I spent 2 days in Shepparton with this family run fleet. A lovely family, and a great business. FYI, This is the third time I’ve de,I’ve red it, and...

    More modern cars are now past using AdBlue with the extreme injection pressures used now.

    All very good comments Brian. Modern diesels need to be maintained professionally for sure. Brian, does your car run AdBlue? Cars that run AdBlue have less issues with their DPF’s, but as you stated, good runs are desirable for all modern diesels.
