I am with Datto i reckon our dollar might go higher and my father lives in Boston so USA economy not good.

Certainly gives you some power to haggle with the locals with some deals like that.

Unfortunately the locals bought theirs 8 months ago...Now the current shipping/buy rate just smokes them...less than 2/3 of what they are asking..No brainer really..already have a mate that has the import/enthusiast license for old race cars...that means no duty..just GST on the buy price..

Ahhh!....No...The No.2 Torana diff is being done now...No.1 goes next Wed and the Clubman arrives...I have way too many choices on the open wheeler...and nearly none of those are local..too expensive...I need to work out what I actually want and then head in that direction.
