I would still revisit the prado (esp for the 3 baby seats) ...the 80/100 series landcruiser are the bigger of the 4wd for yotas
internally they look visibly narrower than an allroad.
avoid santa fe (unstable on highways imo) and captiva (build quality issues)
foresters will be a squeeze (from my experience) for 3 baby seats (unless someone coughs up with internal dimensions)
kym there seem to be a lot of time for chatting in carparks/pit lanes...
what about a trip to say lennox (*coughs* ...where I'm camping for the weekend) and join up for lunch
just saying...
feel for you bro. hope the following days turn out better for you.
this (theft) sort of thing really really annoys/frustrates me!!!
while we're at it and speaking of brazen.

also try jorge and the boys at j&a autocare or j a automotive (sorry it's been a while since I had the GTR) but I normally went to them if dan wasn't available and they were a lot closer to where I live.
they were in underwood just behind the wreckers (alljap?) on kingston rd but I did see a few months ago a J&A autocare in moss st slacks creek maybe they've moved.
ha couldn't find the right word for causing the vehicle to emit a short burst of sound from the emergency sounding device.
where abouts are you? TMR? might have seen you around
lol
spotted a black gtst on boundary road spring hill get pinged by unmarked cops (commodore).
the cops were wanting to turn right and the guy behind in the skyline got impatient and tooted the horn as he wanted the commodore to creep up slowly so he could pass on the left away from the parked cars.
saw cops jumped from their seat when the horn went and pretty much turned on the siren after that.
when you're ready mate ...we'll take it moderately easy but challenging to start off with to get the confidence up....and go from there.
am in south brissy. plenty of guys around here that can pull us out if stuck
