We , ( on the Blue mountains ) were waved on by the ' traffic police ' , because only 4wd Vehicles could navigate the detour, through a flooded road . The rest of the vehicles had to wait hours, before that road was reopened. We watched it on the TV news , after getting home , So if a competent vehicle can ' safely ' navigate a flooded road . Why penalise that driver ! . Who knows , it could be an ses volunteer getting to a larger emergency, rather than a couple of feet of water . My ' deepest ' creek crossing was to the bottom of the windscreen, Towing a heavy rope , to be used for a stranded vehicle recovery . All successful completed. spacesailor PS. : our " snorkel " is not for water crossings. But to keep the " air-filter " out of the duststream " . When in convoy.

Holden's were just as bad . A work colleague bought a brand new H Q Kingswood . At the dealer's , he slammed the door shut and both the window winder & door handle fell onto his lap !. The dealer had to open the driver door to let him catch a taxi, at their expense . My 'old ' Holden had " reciprocating ball bearings" in the steering box ! . That left a ' lot of play ' in the steering wheel. And those five stud wheels had four studs to hold the wheel to the hub assembly. spacesailor

If we in Aus only want a cheap commuter vehicle. ' Use public transport ' . It has everything you desire. I fancied a mercedes electric, but they are way out of my reach. Next BMW i4 electric.

A couple of cheap 'Renault Kangoo e z electric ' vans . on " Grays " auctions. spacesailor

England , in the 60s ' poured concrete ' , and " turned the key " in the door . Of a full block of flats . In just three weeks . the floor's had heating wires in them , so no need for stand-alone heating . It was a record at the time . No more horses on Derby horse race track ,( Derby races ) . The pub was of course, The Grand National. spacesailor
