You might be surprised if you knew the number of retirees who sell up the $million house, and spend,sometimes a lot more than that to hit the road.8 metre caravan and a suitable tow vehicle ie Landcruiser or similiar,$200,00 plus or a $4-500,000,Winebago.

Yeah but that's a retiree who's selling up their place of residence to buy a mobile one. This sounds like a working-age guy who can afford this stuff.

Why I love this site.

Wake up at 4.30 am due to stress in life in x 5 different areas pulling me apart.

Get on computer to play multiplayer to take mind off life -nobody around-no help there for my stressed out mind. Stress-what to do now at 4.57am....

Enter this thread and read this dribble and suddenly for some odd reason I feel a lot better about my life

Pretty much anyone who has owned a Sydney or Melbourne property for 10 years plus will do well come sale. If it is possible to buy elsewhere & be happy, then a substantial amount of money is available.

Ranger's aren't $80k

The trick with telling stories is to make them believable at least.
Do you want to see the receipt.

If he bought a ranger for 60K and spent 20k on it, it's still a 60k ranger!

While you're at it, get the details of the caravan dealer who let someone tow a van off their lot with no trailer brakes.

What are you actually gaining out of this thread though?
Are you trying to bond with the people here by way of bagging out your mate? It just seems like a bit of an odd tactic.

Lovford,
Remember as a new member of this community you are joining a group of people who have been conversing, arguing, joking, and taking the mickey for over ten years.
The forum has rules both written ad of course, like any community, unwritten.
You arrive on the scene and to be honestly constructive, your language, grammar, topics and general demeanor are not in keeping with the community expectations. As such your approach tends to grate leading to the friction you are feeling.
Now not many of us here are Rhodes skolars (see what I did there) but basic care and attention to your language and writing, punctuation, grammar, language and of course toxic topics would probably help your case in becoming accepted here.
It might be the 'internet' but don't confuse it for anything less than an existing long running group of people with existing relationships.

Are you saying that because the Soviet Union was attempting to abolish marriage? If so, that is quite insightful. I must have underestimated you.

Only way to find out who a person is, is to let them say what they feel in a thread not a stupid pm. pm arnt for me I prefer everything out in the open. Yes it maybe does have something to do with Russia.

I'm surprised it took 198 posts for him to get banned, I would've thought he could have achieved that with way less.
