    That’s great news JM...Cudos to GIO...We fought NRMA for over a year after the last East Coast Low...Total bunch of Kunts....We got them in the end, but it was so draining...They tried to offer us a low ball cash settlement straight away...We told them we just wanted the damage fixed...12 months later we settled...

    Yeah, sucks Gaz, I'm glad GIO did the right thing by him and glad we live in Oz where everyone jumps in to help the unlucky ones when misfortune befalls them :)

    Funny think it that because my brother is a mechanical engineer he keeps talking about his Sidchrome tools being under water :p

    The cars, bikes, washing machines, fridges, etc ... meh :p

    In one respect JM we are still the lucky country when you see people put their differences aside and band together to help each other...

    Someone has made a YouTube video of the Port Macquarie floods



    My brothers house is next to the house with the red roof at the 4:36 mark and has one of the trucks in front of his house the guy with the construction company was using to help all of the flooded residents

    Another Dudley M-S Daytona. He was the first owner of mine too. Had a bad habit of painting cars red and unusually bad taste - he ordered my car with red woollen seat fabric. urgh.

    loved the close up of the Ferrari birdsh!t welding, but no comment from the salesman about the poor build quality.

    And, where's the air cleaner???

    There too expensive now ,if you could find one for sale here , when I had the chance the one Brookland's had for sale was perfect ,good period colour combo ,well worn driving car .

    I'm in the same boat. I was >< this close to buying a 250gto 5 years ago. A good drivers car.

    I had 3 other cars. All I had to do was sell one and put in some cash. They being a 4 cylinder commodore, a ford escort and a Morris marina.

    I'm trying to be pleasant to all including you how about being the same ? or is that too much to ask ?

    I'm offered a truce to you including a coffee for the benefit of the forum and the two upcoming drives (GAD & GG) think about it rather then going down the same old path , which we all including me are tired of .

    You will have noticed I NO longer respond to you in the same fashion that you do to me.

    Rob, it's a great tradition of the aussie section that we all take the p!ss out of each other. PP is usually very quick and occasionally quite funny.

    e.g. look at the hiding Wes gets because he beached his car on a curb once.

    So please lighten up a bit. We're here for the laughs.
