Don't be going off road so a Prado is a bit over kill. It is down to those two as they are what the boss likes the look of and the drive of........

Both fit the combo if seats she wants for the kids too. She would prefer to keep her Forester if she could but as soon as the little guys have to be turned forward facing the seats will no longer fit very well due to the first borne booster.

If it was a few years back we would have been sweet but now kids have to be in boosters till 8 years old we are stuffed :(

I'd be looking at the new Carnival or Grand Picasso but that's just me. I can't stand SUVs.

I'd have a mint and original LJ-Xu1 Torana. I had 4 Torana's when I was young so I'll always have a soft spot, I'd love a trophy one to put in the garage (with a glass wall to the living room of course) and to drive on the weekends.

What are they going for these days Mando? Some old classic Aussie cars are insanely expensive now.

Yeah, way more than 50 I think. Looks like you could get an XU1 replica for 50, or a GTR for around 35 to 40, but a genuine XU1 is gunna be more like 75 to 100.

wow, I obviously haven't looked for a while!! Oh well, a replica would do the job at a pinch :) With a bit left over for that garage window.

Far out that's higher than I expected. I'd love an A9X or one of the original blue Group A Commodores but neither of them would come in under 50k.

I always wanted an E49 R/T Charger. Even a replica is approaching $50k :eyepop:

I think there was a very small batch of Chargers made with a 338 cid V8 in them. A mate of mine had one but it might not have been original. God knows what they're worth. Apparently it was a rocket for its day.

*EDIT*

Sorry, I think that should have been a 340, not 338.
