This is for how many days?

 

 

Just checked. It's A$30 for 8 GB for 1 month.

 

Will be going in first week of Dec.  Will probably get the $50 for 14 GB - need to cater to 2 teenagers (plus me and wife)!

I'm 1.8 m. You still win a lot.

I almost needed a ladder to climb onto that QX80. 

I wonder to travel 100 km, how much $$ of petrol will be needed.

 

Curious whether here got anyone bought yet... have not seen one yet that's for sure.

 

Got any recommendation for travel insurance that covers $2k excess?

 

My normal contact said even for premium plan, only $1k (normal is $500 only)...

 

Lol can it even enter a parking lot?

Sounds like the size of those USA trucks.

I will probably not let my kids use so much internet overseas.

 

Point of going overseas is to get a break from all this lol.

Just got these from sgcarmaft:

 

Dimensions (L x W x H  (5305 x 2030 x 1945) mm

 

 

Think go many carparks, must find lots flanked by chery QQs... 

provided can enter.

 

And the performance:

 

 

Performance   Power 298kW (400 bhp) Torque 560 Nm Acceleration 7.6s (0-100 km/h) Top speed 210 km/h Fuel consumption 6.8 km/L

 

 

Wah, 7.6 sec for a car 2.8 ton...

I don't believe the FC leh...

 

 

On the kids using gadgets, i suspect during the long trips, they will be glued to them leh... esp. as we're planning to get them new phones...

 

yup. tks. 

bro Davidtch also mentioned AXA yest.

i got a promo package $20 for 12gb from optus [thumbsup]

stuck the card in my own huawei mifi and whole family 6-8 devices can use until lao sai

each time come to OZ just get the optus prepaid card ... no brainer

 

Can check with you:

 

Did you self-drive in/around Perth too? And so, did you use google map on the data of the optus card? Was the signal/data reliable outside of Perth?

 

Wifey read some on-line review saying Optus signal not so good outside of Perth... Like to ascertain this...

 

tks...

better not rely on mobile data cos most network will be weak when you drive out of the city. heard Telstra is the better one.

 

use the offline map apps with gps is good enough.
