Any WA chaps got recommendations for or against particular home and contents insurers? Bro in law is looking around right now for his first house. I'll need to know myself in a couple years too.

Who's good, who's not good? Experiences claiming?

with Youi, not real expensive... havent made a claim.

so, due to the missus doing quite a few track days in the 86, I decided to do some tyre shopping. looked at yokohama, Toyo, Bridgestone and Nitto (none in size needed). Was very tempted to get some Toyo T1 Proxes, but ended up getting all 4 Bridgestone Potenza RE002, 205/55/16

Driving home in the rain tonight, very impressed. never felt loose in the front end, but hard to compare to a falcon, as the 86 is an entirely different car, not to mention very different tyre size, but considering using them on the front of mine next time. couldnt get them to let go without really pushing it.

pretty cheap for a quality tyre as well. 175 each (ohh how I miss a normal tyre size) and had a deal for buy 3 get 1 free.

Original tyre (Yokohama, stock tyre)

Pencil me in. Gotta figure out some details (ie strip it at your place or move it somewhere else).

How many km on it? Diff any good?

That's cool about the wagon sometimes it's best to get a whole car especially when it's for work purpose you need to be on the road - it reminds me of a funny joke - not a Ford but we had a VS Wagon used for work and it had so many things wrong with it I spent $5000 fixing it and countless hours but admittedly I loved working on it,

everytime we drove it something just happened to go wrong that resulted in taking the Gregories book out to troubleshoot.

So we thought if your going to break down that often, because it had a tow ball we could buy another fully working wagon and tow that behind us everywhere we go when going to work, and when the wagon we are driving breaks down just start up the towed wagon and begin towing the original wagon.
