Not so long ago in the past, the drug squad removed with considereable force the front security door to of of my IP’s. The insuarance didn’t cover the damage and the police department said I needed to file a damages claim for compensation/costs and they would send the appropriate papers to me. I’m still waiting on the outcome.

You only need to ask one question and the question is: which path would the other man tell me to go down? and then you go down the opposite path that he tells you.

I nearly forgot leap number 5 the most important one, getting married to a wonderful woman who also took the leap of faith to trust my vision and help work towards achieving my goal which has now become our goal.

Hi krs, I think I have had 4 leaps of faith, the first was in the late 80s when I took leave without pay from a nice government job and travelled around OZ for a few years and then enrolled in university as a mature age student, leap number 2 was in the late 90s when I went overseas with 4K and put my properties in the hands of someone else to look after, leap number 3 was in 2001 when I started my own business overseas and employed staff with the aim of making more money to invest in properties and finally leap number 4 was deciding that I’m 90% towards my goal of desired IPs and reduced my working time to less than 20 hrs per week so I could concentrate on getting that last 10% of my desired goal finished.

My understanding of squatters rights is that anytime the squatter leave the property you can resume possession of the property. Only one person can claim squatters right at a time. There may be 4-5 people in the place but only one of them actually has rights. Once you can get that person out you can take back control.

Hi Dazz, It’s definitely not qualitative or quantative but probably speculative and not a true indication of the 4wd community at large. Hence my joke about having to put on weight and an attitude change from my normal laid back style.
BTW, what type of 4WD you interested in?

Hi Calvin, I thought you might like this. Its on ninemsn.
Based on a Roy Morgan Research survey in 2003-04 of 24,718 people aged 14 and over, the study found the typical city driver of a large 4WD is a male in his forties or fifties in full-time work with a higher than average income.
The 4WDS are also far more likely than conventional vehicles to kill or maim other road users, they are less fuel efficient and they are resented by other road users.
Two thirds of their drivers in the city are overweight or obese.
They also had a lower regard for the welfare system than the general population.
“While over half (57 per cent) of all Australians agree it is the government’s duty to support those who cannot find work, only 42 per cent of city drivers of large 4WDs concur,” the report’s authors, Clive Hamilton and Claire Barbato, said.
“These drivers tend to see themselves as rugged individualists who like physical activity.
“Perhaps with implications for how they drive, they are more inclined to say they sometimes use force to get their way,” the authors said.
The authors also say 4WDs are marketed as bold, tough, powerful and made for rugged terrain, while the daily reality is that most are driven between school, work and shops in metropolitan areas.
The survey counted only city drivers of 4WDs, where over half of the vehicles are owned.
However, drivers of luxury 4WDs are very different.
They are more likely to be female, in their 30s and 40s, and are more materialistic than other Australians.
“This group is more than twice as likely as the general population to say, `I was born to shop’ (33 per cent),” the authors said.
“And two thirds (65 per cent) say they would normally buy their favourite brand regardless of price, compared with 43 per cent of the population.”
They also watch their weight, and are less likely to be obese than the general population.
Monash University research indicates 4WDs are far more likely than conventional vehicles to kill or maim other road users.
Dr Hamilton said the vehicles are also less fuel efficient and are resented by other road users.
He said special licences and higher taxes should be imposed on 4WD owners.

I guess I need to put on weight and have an attitude change so I fit the role.

Hi Milly, Not sure if I read your post right, but if it wasn’t transferred then who received the stamp duty? You may be owed some money back and other costs.

Hi ddb, are you able to buy your partners half of the property instead of selling. It may be a cheaper option for you and finacially better in the long run. Also, never trust the family court to be fair.

Hi Dr X, no-one said anything about stopping investing for xmas. Tokyo and Seoul are places I’m interested in to invest.
In regards to xmas commercialisation. The Japanese who mainly follow a mixture of shinto and budhism spend a hell of a lot of money on xmas presents.C2

Hi Calvin, I agree with you that 4wd accidents can be nastier and occupants can suffer higher degrees of injuries than normal sedans or vehicles. Due to a higher centre of gravity 4wds are easier to roll if travelling to fast on curves. Some owners also think there 4wds are indestructible and thus take risks they shouldn’t. My comment was aimed more at being hit by another vehicle. I’m one of those silly drivers who doesn’t mind sitting on the speed limit or 5-10 kmh below. I like the moto it’s better to arrive late than not to arrive at all.
