Moving from UK to Australia Feb 2011
Hi,
I used to be on here a while ago and i'm a member of ftooc.org
Don't have my supercharged GPX anymore though, I sold it a couple of weeks ago due to our impending move to Perth in approx 1 months time, we are on a permanent residents visa.
Hope to get another FTO when we are settled so may be on the look out for one eventually but a 5 seat family car will be the priority unfortunately.
Cheers,
Rob

WTTC and G'Day!
We don't all speak like that but we're a friendly bunch.
Hope you enjoy the move and settle in well.

Re: Moving from UK to Australia Feb 2011
Welcome!... again
Yes, we saw the car for sale, nothing goes by unnoticed
People tend to think that we ride Kangaroos to work.
Now, this is obviously very far-fetched as Kangaroo pouches are very small and there is no way a Kangaroo can ever even support the weight of a human.
For this reason, I suggest getting multiple Kangaroos and a bobsled (Not too many, because you don't want to make it TOO easy for them to pull you or else they'll start getting lazy).
PS - Crocodiles and Koalas also make great household pets. Yhough you don't want both a crocodile and a Koala for obvious reasons (Unless that kinda thing tickles your pickle, I'm in no situation to make any judgements on people )
Enjoy!

I don't think Perf is a good location, there are a lot of dropbears in the area.

Re: Moving from UK to Australia Feb 2011
Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
Will be glad when we finally get there, shippers are coming this thursday for our stuff and we have a million things to do but we'll get there!
Been having a look at cars on drive etc and the used market is a lot more expensive that the uk which we already knew, any pointers on which family car we should go for on a budget?

Beter then drive
TBH if you just want a simple family car with no extras or whatever, just go for a Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon, they look like sh*t, they are bogan, and everyone drives one. But they are reliable and can be used easily for long trips or whatnot.
BUT if you want something with style, speed and comfort your asking a different question.
I'll let the boys ramble on about this now.
