The yank tank is annoying. 

Particularly when the car companies are making options limited.

A car park full of these things is frustrating too.
I agree, unnecessary for most domestic purposes, and rarely chosen by tradies due to the high price and high running cost.

If you have to tow up in the GCM +3500kg range, then the cheaper option to buy and run option is a small truck. The tradie packs are dirt cheaper c/w towing rig, and often you can buy both the truck and a 4x2 twin cab for less than the cost of something like a Toyota Tundra or converted yank tank.

Across the sites I visit, lately the Sprinter, Transit and Trafic vans seem to have become very popular, they are moving away from twin cabs. Partly because they carry more, but also because the fitout kits have become drastically cheaper with more options and less weight penalty. I saw one sparky who effectively had a better workshop in his Renault van than most have in a house!

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: VFL 2026 Rd 18: Carlton vs Gold Coast at Carlton

Goal to Farrar on the siren and we lead by 5  at 3/4 time.

Carlton 9-2 -56 to Gold Coast 6-15-51
Accuracy is playing a big part.

Camporeale 20
Hollands 19 are all getting plenty of ball

Boyd also has 20 (kick ins)

Promotions????
Not sure.

I'm a bit disappointed in Riley who has put in some not great efforts at times.
Charleson is a player that works hard but not a standout
Ison has done a couple of good things but probably not enough from him to earn a recall.

Half Time
Gold Coast-5-9-39  v Carlton 6-2-38
Possessions

Hollands- 15
Ben C-14

Goals
Howard 2 (Jack Ison contributed to both those)
Davies 2

Something I've noticed from time to time but I'm not sure it's much of a thing is that Ben Camporeale seems to start matches fairly slowly but after quarter time he starts to accumulate possessions pretty quickly.
