snail Member 83 Member For: 19y 6m 29d Location: Perth WA Posted 26/01/07 06:32 AM Share Posted 26/01/07 06:32 AM I am looking at purchasing a car which would be used to tow a caravan (1.6 t ) around australia. My T will stay snug as a bug in the garage by the way. I wont need huge off road ability - just a gravel road and the usual corregations!Now I dont know anything which rivals the dynamics of the Terri- braking, handling, swerve + recover, towing ability,etc........... but one thing is missing as far as I am concerned - a diesel which brings economy and longevity to the donk.Does anyone here have any news on if or when this is coming? Cheers with beers, Snail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
