    I drive an Audi SQ5. Needed sway bar end links . . . $399 each from Audi Australia, or $80/pair from Porsche Australia .(To fit a Porsche Macan S) . . Badge engineering has been around a long time, and you have to shop around for parts from the 'other' manufacturer

    As an Aussie who has driven in Houston, I can tell you - it's fucking weird man - those 'frontage' roads? wow . . a total shitshow for actually getting places. Simple on-ramp and (as you call them) cloverleaf is a brilliant system that actually works.

    Low $20k - I looked for about 4 weeks to get an idea of the market and they were all between $20-30k with that sort of mileage and age.

    Yesterday I bought a 2016 SQ5. A slight upgrade from mny 270,000 klm Mk5 GTi Wolfsburg Edition. 65,000 miles (110,000 klm) - dead stock, smells new, and goes like a bat out of hell. Nice little upgrade for 'the work truck'

    My Romeow is a Maine Coon x Ragdoll. Size and fluff of Maine, and gentle floppy nature of the ragdoll. He's bloody lucky he's so pretty, because he's as dumb as a box of hammers. He's 15 this year.

    Resprayed my '65 T120 Almost exactly the same colour, but with an extra 2 drops of pure yellow in 1/2 litre of colour. First time spraying 2-pack, and I reckon it came out OK. New brown Biltwell grips finish the whole package out nicely. Registered and riding by the end of June.

    Got abox of parts for my '65 today, so have been fitting up new brake cables, brake light switches, and adding a speedometer. Took it for a little shakedown run - first time into 4th gear at any speed. Bit of a boneshaker - but that's what you would expect of a solid mounted, hard tailed 650...
