looking at Hiace Vans for my first car. In my price range there seems to mostly be 1997-1999 models betweeen 130,000-300,000k's. Just wondering

+ main question Petrol or Diesel???
- which lasts longer, more fuel efficent, cheaper to maintain etc

and is 300,000ks too much? should i aim at 200,000....100,000?

or should i avoid Hiace's all together

thanks

With torrential rain turning the Burrum river mouth into brown soup, the usually unmovable BH crew headed south in search of clean water. They found themselves at 'Paul's Place' on the northern side of the Urangan Pier. Conditions in the car park were no indication of true wind strength with most guys and gal rigging larger than necessary to get out through the wind shadow. Once away from the shore the SE wind was 20-25 knots and cross-off with 1-2 foot chop. Sunday was a repeat of Saturday with the addition of beers in the carpark at the end of the day.

Lots of new speed gear coming out of wrapping paper on the weekend should have the Morton Bay Mob looking scared when the speed competion comes to town in April. We have sailed the last three days in a row, and with several more days of 30-35 knots forecast out training regime is looking good for keeping the trophy in Burrum.
