I'd recommend the Lexus.

I hear the Chinese versions are more reliable 😉

I raised the birth vs kidney stones pain issue with my renal specialist, he said he treated a women with a kidney stone giving birth, she said 'ef the baby', get the stone out first, true story :cool:

My main options before I bought the Santa Fe was a Hybrid Camry or a RAV4, both reliable vehicles, but prob not for everyone.

I purchased a hybrid Santa Fe (1.6 Liter turbo plus electric), a largish SUV by Aussie standards but prob considered medium size in the US. It's prob too big for me but I have intentions of travelling with it now I'm retired, meanwhile it has been handy for carrying stuff for my recent home...

Shingles are annoying, but I've had Two kidney stones, you experience a whole new level of pain with those.

I usually just have a coffee for breakfast, but sometimes spoil myself with Orange juice, Four slices of bacon (not crispy), Two poached eggs, Two slices of toast plus Flat White coffee. As a special breakfast my Mum used to cook lambs fry and bacon, I loved that with her home-made gravy...

Yes, that's a fact, shingles is caused by a reactivation of the existing Chicken pox virus. I had bad chicken pox in my early teens and got shingles in early 30's, probably due to stress, being married with Two toddlers may have been a contributing factor ;) 😀

Tom, I initially intended to get the larger turbo petrol only version but the smaller turbo hybrid was actually quicker, and I have a 'need for speed' 🤪 :cool:

Mark, at least I know they are going to a 'good home', a new keen collector from the Gold Coast. I still have some 'German sets' to sell on ebay but doubt I will ever part with the following favourites; TCS King Tiger, Sturm Tiger, Tiger I (007), Panther and Jagdpanther in Normandy colours...

Brings to mind the late American forum member that was always 'demanding' that Andy produce more bare chested and sweaty gunners, especially Aussies :cool: He used to drive some members crazy buy I considered him an entertaining character :unsure: :)

Very realistic Mike, I have been displaying my collection in an all glass environment for a year or so, but your display tempts me to go back to a more realistic background.

Mike, I purchased a new Hybrid Hyundai SUV last year, was a late adopter of Electric motors, but I really like that it's so quiet when driving in my urban area, frugal with fuel and quick off the mark at traffic lights ;):cool:

Mark, you do have a lot, I'm still downsizing my 'German collection', finding it hard to part with my Big Cats like these.

Robin, that's a lot of toys, last time I moved myself I rented a truck, made it a lot easier, depends how far you're moving I suppose.

Great to hear about your succesful liver transplant Marty, my liver is one of the few organs that is still working okay...so far, we are indeed fortunate to have such a compassionate health system :)

Yes mate, all were brave Aussies.
