In the process of changing cars at the moment and I can't believe how much 'stuff' needs to be removed and swapped over. HF, UHF, DC-DC charger, dual battery stuff, brake controller, etc, etc. I think moving house is easier.

P.S. Apologies to anyone who has had difficulty finding cable ties over the last ten years. Think I found them all today.

Matt.

Ha ha. Yes well just think that it would be even worse if you had sold the car with all that stuff and then have to go out and buy it all again for the new one!

I have always found it much easier to sell a car " as is " with all the goodies - but then again I don't leak at 40,000 fathoms !!

Good one Kev. No, unfortunately Colin has lost his opportunity to offload that abomination. His loss.

I have bought one new car and moved house twice in the last 12 months.

Buying a car was tough moving house really really sucks :-(

We are still sorting and unpacking stuff and trying to remember where we put stuff.

I would take a new car any day

Kind of agree. After 25 years in the Navy, I kind of got over moving. Only self inflicted moves now.

7 years in the RAAF as a single guy and moving was OK back then.

Everything I owned in the world fitted in the back of my car and away I went.

It was a LOT easier than now.
