A motorhom, a yacht and what else?

Sounds dinkum - but how about a custom shot?

You know - a JW printout on the steering wheel

It's not that we doubt you per se, but let's just say we have had "trusted members" share some neat things with us after a while - only to turn out to be utter bollocks.. hehe

t's just how we do it around these parts

well im going to try anyway, if you look carefully (zoom in) theres a dent on both volvo's on the bonnet (from a cricket ball :x ) as well as faded yellow towel on the upper most back seat (between head rests) covering the sun-damaged leather

You know i could prove to you that the yacht Aquila D'oro is parked at the end of pontoon C in the breakwater marina at Townsville Australia but alas it would involve several pics either showimg my face or member of my families which i would rather not do due to keeping my own privacy as well as my familes, that and proving it to you would be a waste of my time

and yes it is quite easy to own a yacht and motor home if you dont bother with owning a house, particularly here in Australia (house prices just keep going up n up)

my parrents did look into buying a winnabago *sp (as well as a few other manufacturers like swagman), but they were quite expensive they bought this Volvo/Volgren of an australian bus company... and basicly ripped it inside out and built it up + a paint job. the initial cost of the bus was like AU$ 80K winnabago's started at like 300K for the size they wanted....

we also came accross this the terra wind.. amphibious motor home

now how excelent is that.. although it does cost US$ 850k - 1.2 million :shock:

nah its just for my parrents lol think of it as a mobile apartment (its roughly the same size)
though it can sleep 6 easily, it has 3 double beds 1 up stairs .. with a view and 2 downstairs but then there is the lounge suite .. but leather isnt the best thing to sleep on in OZ even with airconditioning

Don't be offended old chap.

I approached the subject quite neutrally.

It's the rules we have.

Live with it.

There that wasn't so hard was it?

BTW - you should take that image down, and blur out the private info that could harm you or your folks - property and identity thieves are everywhere...

Hopefully you can place our rules into perspective - as has been said before - nothing personal.
