About $500 of vouchers for bunnings from family members.
I tried dropping the hint about autobarm/superchep vouchers around October but the minister for finance kindly told me to forget about it. I was allowed to buy stuff for the cars bit by bit over the last month that added up to more tthan that anyway so I sorta came out alright in the end. I also need a decent cordless. Got two 18s and they are pretty gutless.

Mrs b2tf and I bought ourselves a woodfired pizza oven for the outdoor area, been after one for ages. Tried it out last night and it was sensational, can see it getting a lot of use.
I also splurged out yesterday and bought us a lounge suite so I guess thats our Christmas present too. Bought me some brownie points which should help minimise the flack I'll get when I buy more parts for the GT.

Jack knew the way to my heart...Diamond and ruby ring and another Sapphire ring just to make sure he was in the good books!
 He did get a load of Harley gear for his bike, so I guess we are even. Cheers Col

I know - I did look at the Koreans but this was the better all round package to be honest. * Needed 7 seats, and the Outlander had the better windows for the 3rd row - the Santa Fe (especially) and the Sorento seemed to be both designed as 5 seaters and the 3rd row was an afterthought. * Outlander has less high strung engine - the other 2 are roughly the same capacity and it's great they they produce huge power and torque but they are also much thirstier. * The Outlander is roughly 300kg lighter, yet has the same towing capacity as the other 2 (would have thought with all the extra power and weight the Santa Fe / Sorento could have gone to 2.5t braked towing capacity). * Cheapest of the top spec models ($49k RRP vs - Santa Fe Highlander $59k and the Sorento Platinum for $53k drive away). * 8cm narrower than the Koreans - meaning the better half is a little more comfortable driving it (she hates 'big cars'). Gadgets are a much of a muchness between the 3. Outlander has low speed crash avoidance and adaptive cruise control (I don't think either of the Koreans have this?). The Highlander has a few extra bells and whistles but you need a whole heap of extra moolah. I think the Outlander has the better ground clearance of the 3 and a more driver selectable 4x4 system. They also gave me a great deal - actually, I bargained very hard and got myself a great deal  .Now to actually sit in it and learn all the gizmos and gadgets - the owners manual looks to be 300+ pages, then another book of around 100 pages for just the radio!
