1.5 diesel i drive now . 60 mpg

Decent.

I like looking at luxury cars and race cars etc but I’d never own one…. I like practical vehicles that you can use for work and help ya make money …. Easier to depreciate too

i need to top it up with oil regular , which is not right. i can see sut developing on the turbo , so that must be leaking a touch . i'm no expert but french vehicles are not good

economic but french crap . all the buttons fall after 10 years . everything becomes brittle lol

Sounds on par with a transit

i'm aiming to get 18 months out of my vehicle. it may need a new turbo soon, and other wear and tear jobs . not so expensive to rid of it yet , i can still get more life out of her yet . but once i reach the limit i will be looking for a japanese van or estate vehicle . base model, retro , well maintained

Interesting plan! Just something to consider: Japanese cars here often have pricier spare parts than common local brands – in my experience, sometimes double. Might be worth comparing part costs upfront to avoid future headaches!

The reverse is true in NZ/Aus compared to German motors…. NZ/ Aus has no car manufacturing any more

it is orange peel x prima hollandica . the latter being the male

i cloned a flowering plant which has rooted and is readily flowering, so i can place that clone in the room to be pollinated , and leave the seeds in situ once they are mature, and reveg the same plant if she is any good. i'm testing that one. may aswell kill 3 birds with one stone and mini scale so no loss and no extra cost

Buon giorno. I was trying out the new image generation capacities of chatgpt after seeing the ones made by the Jeboter. It's pretty crazy how fast things are evolving. I asked chatgpt to make this drawing for my mom, of her with her boyfriend, my dogs and chickens. Insane how close it got with just a couple of corrections. Couldn't have taken more than 3 minutes total to write the prompts. I even asked for an eucalyptus and a callistemon and they are spot on.

It's probably down to market share and storage costs. I can imagine that there are not so many German cars driving around in Australia.

What brand did you have in the past?
