I do own a large SUV (sorry @Bevo) but I do live in a rural town 3 1/2 hours north of Sydney.

Personally I have zero issue with thatā€¦itā€™s horses for courses as I see itā€¦

Itā€™s the urban CBD prevalence that gets meā€¦itā€™s hardly 4x4 requirements is itā€¦!

Inter city trains are crap Pete. Thereā€™s not even a direct one between Sydney and Brisbane. Have to go to Casino and then get on a bus , that is nuts

In the Southern Highlands , even though there is significant population growth , there is no direct train into Sydney for people working there, so have to catch the 24 + stop one. There is one train at 8.50am with 5 stops but by then the peak is over. No direct ones coming out of Sydney.

So what do commuters do ! They are forced to drive

Donā€™t get me started mate

Pete I get you mate re your vehicle as you are in a rural area so you need it, itā€™s the whackers in the city that scream around in the huge vehicles that get me

@Bevo, a lot of my records stick to the LP12 mat, should I try a rubber one?

18304

No local apparently

18305

Yes I heard that was on the cards :+1:

No I once tried a rubber mat and it was pretty bad , wouldnā€™t go there

Iā€™ve got another one from Collaro Audio on one of my Sondeks

( have red or black finish )

Get really good reviews - to me it sounds better than the original but actually sticks more to the vinyl , so thatā€™s a bit of a pain

Just something we live with but other members might have some ideas to stop the sticking

Really? I honestly donā€™t believe that could be right. -6Ā°C more likely?!

18313

I couldnā€™t do a degrees symbol, so was trying to do -6 oC.

DGā€¦
