dutchfreckles: on my wich list is a old chevy pick-up V8 from 1940-1950 ,or a 66-69 ford shelbie ,dont need a new sports car
Chevrolet didn't have a V8 between 1940 and 1950. The Chevy V8 (283 cubic inch aka "Small Block") didn't come out until 1955 and wasn't available in a pick up truck until 1960.
Range Rover is my choice, needing a vehicle that can cross all roads. I've speed in a Ferrari and cruised in a Rolls. A car is a car and a way to travel.
Mazda 4x4 2.5 Turbo Diesel be a long country mile ahead of all the above, its not without its faults however out in the bush its on its own. When i hear likes BMW has aluminium diff and axle casing that break in two and Range Rover gear box that all mechanic's run a mile from you'll start to get the picture. Like yachts / sail boats, the bigger they are they got bigger gear = bigger problems, which often just throwing money at cannot sort.
Camper Van / Trailers likewise, example flat batteries out in the outback because wiring in-cased in fiberglass shorts; the manufacturer warranty isn't worth the paper its written on.
Afford it or not the old adage applies "Keep it Simple Stupid"

Hmmm, late 20's Cadillac, Duesenberg, or maybe mid 50's Cadillac, something the size of a small living room on wheels. After all, it's supposed to be luxurious.
Dunno, not really into luxury cars, even though I've had quite a few. I prefer something more performance oriented for fun, something uber economical for a daily driver, and higher HP diesel for a truck, which I use for work and for hauling.
Sadly, I've lowered my standards to an all time low, I'm driving a Dodge minivan for a winter beater. I still have my diesel F-350 4x4 on the road as well, but I don't want some numpty crashing into it in traffic on the icy streets.
Better to have the Mopar product destroyed, so long as I don't get hurt.
If we're talking off road, then a late model Unimog, or maybe something from Steyr. They both make small, efficient and dependable off road vehicles, but the cost is a little prohibitive.
I'll settle for my old Series IIA Landys until I win a lotto. .
kidatheart: One of these days I'd like to do just that, and see some Aussie friends, and some again.
I've had the occasional peek at your "marbelious" thread, great pictures, all of them.
Not sure about milking Swiss cows though, but if the cream is good for coffee, I'll give it a try.
i have to admit i lost and miss my brown swiss, had 27 in nsw. Many years ago I milked cows in switzerland for couple of months, was winter and the cows were in a barn, brushed and hand milked few of them daily and have owned brown swiss twice since then.
I'm strictly International Roast coffee fan with 1/4 sugar and plenty brownswiss ta anytime your passing mate
