But the new land release areas are not full suburban living. They are large houses crammed on to tiny blocks of land. I live on 180sqm of land - moved from an apartment to a semi. I have more private outdoor space than most new land release areas in Western Sydney. A much smaller front...

The same thing that every inhabitant of apartments with pets throughout Europe does? It's not as if Australia is somehow unique in having people owning pets. More details of the cars - for interests sake. I don't have the skills nor time to do restorations. Maybe eventually. But there is no...

I reckon the Golf could take 95% of cars on. 12.4s quarter mile. Good fuel efficiency. Comfortable. The MX5 was slow, and I'm about to sell it, but I built it up to get more practice at tarmac/circuit racing and hillclimbs. Much better to have something you can learn with, rather than...

So just ignoring the fact that I managed to do something you said was impossible then? Oh - also managed to do fit an upgraded intercooler, intake and catch can on my Golf. Didn't do the dump pipe - that goes in the pay people to do it for me even when I have the room category.

I worked up a track spec MX5 in an underground security car park. Not enough space for a full engine swap, but what tiny proportion of the population actually does that? My mechanic took care of the swap from a short crank NA6 to a 1.8 from a NB but things like changing springs, sorting out the...

I'm a car enthusiast. I've managed to deal with that in apartment and inner city living.

I agree with all of the above. My sister and BiL moved to London about 2 years ago. He is high up in investment banking and has a really high income. They haven't owned a car since moving there. The public transport is excellent, so they don't need to. If they want to go away for the...

Good for you. It's a personal preference. I grew up on that. I don't want to go back to it at this point. It doesn't appeal to me. Housing choice is just that. A choice. Not an indictment on a personality type. Hopefully when I grew up I won't be condescending.

For me either an apartment with a large balcony, a terrace or a small freestanding or semi detched house on a small parcel of land. I grew up on acres. I'd prefer to spend my weekends out and about doing stuff than having to deal with lawn, fencing, gardens etc.
