I thought there was NO carpet these days ???

Are we talking cars or women ??

The girsl are putting tattoos where there use to be carpet ............................... it's what the male nurses do

 

I looked at the car on Sunday
Paintwork has not withstood the test of time
Hopefully the new owner will go back to its original colour

The asbestos issue has killed imports almost completely, the Maserati's from the international event are apparently still here.

 

Why can't they leave ? What's the story ?

 

I just followed up, as i got told on Sunday they were still her, however they were allowed to leave as they were in bond and hadn't actually been on Australian soil ( go figure) Two of the 6 impounded cars, one was a returning Australian car after restoration in the UK the other was a 2005 car and was approved.

 

I know red was an option as mine are red.
I am quite sure but don’t quote me that yellow was also an option Adrian so it would still look original

 

He is VCAT. that's why he's back so soon.To bully poor people on this forum.

 

Hey...I bully rich people too!

 

Yep I recon either black or yellow ,it’s where to get the job done ,I’ll approach my local body shop guy and see what his thoughts are

Will be interesting to see if this marks the beginning of the end for the LCT

That might get rid of import duty.....but LCT?? It's got nothing to do with free trade, has it? Even aussie built cars were hit with that tax.

 

LCT has always been used as a de-facto trade barrier, when introduced the LCT was set at a level just above the price of the Ford LTD, at the time most expensive aussie built car. Duty is only 5% and I think going to be abolished as well

 

And now it's a wealth tax.....nothing to do with free trade.

 

I don't see LCT going away - a cheap cash cow and no upside for a government proposing it (not enough affectees to cause a positive in the polls, but huge downside risk - the opposition (whomever it was at the time) would be screaming blue murder about fat cats vs battlers.

 

It will go, the benefits to Australia in getting an FTA in place with the EU far outweigh keeping the LCT. The European's have been using this as a key negotiating point.

 

Makes no sense. It's not an importation cost.

 

The Europeans view the LCT as simply trade barrier in disguise ( which it was ) and hence want it removed. The LCT has only ever applied to luxury imported cars as the LCT level was set above the price of nearly every Australian built car.( a couple of HSV's were above it).
Australia wants a Free Trade Agreement with Europe, especially now that relationships have become frosty with China. An FTA means Australia would get free access to the European market for commodities. In return, the Europeans want free access to our market for their exports, a large component of which are vehicles subject to the LCT.

 

It is no longer a trade barrier....it's just a tax...like a sliding income tax scale. I'll be staggered if it's removed. It doesn't stop anyone buying an imported car, does it? no...obviously not.

Looks good, but it's rubbish, of course

 

Somewhat ambitious price, but it will make WRXMIKE happy, particularly as his is a manual too.
