    Cheers! I forgot to take a picture of the ex Mansell 639 F1 car that was there sorry!

    It's a very interesting location. Large cricket pitch basically in the middle of the City, just down from the Old St roundabout. Part of the Honourable Artillery Company - basically one of the long standing Regiments in the British Army. Surrounded by a big mix of architecture from Georgian to recent times.

    It’s been a while since I ordered car parts from OS, but can someone clarify the duty etc that needs to be paid?
    I know there’ll be GST, but I vaguely recall some other amount if value is over 1k?

    That was a shed load of money. Easily would have bought a house back then.

    If you multiply the purchase price including freight somewhere between 16% to 19% you'll have an idea of the landed cost. Remember the GST is applied after freight, duty, customs clearance fees, storage (if applicable) and some smaller incidentals. Ask for a breakdown of the charges, often, the calculations are incorrect.

    And remember to excoriate Trump for his terrible economics, while ignoring the trade BS that happens here.

    This website is a real treasure IMO, as it delves into the designs and history of some neglected manufacturers and designers:

    Someone claims there was a pale blue Miura (with eyelashes) at the local cars&coffee last weekend? I'm naturally sceptical but anyone aware of (a real) one in Qld?

    The latest rumor regarding Bugatti is the born of its new Veyron Centenaire Edition. For those who don’t know, Bugatti has been established 100 years ago, in 1909 and this year's Geneva Motor Show will be the place where the French manufacturer will celebrate its birthday.

    Some of our sources confirm the fact that the new vehicle will deliver almost 1350 hp while the top speed will be increased to over 420 km/h. Also, the vehicle will feature a custom body kit with plenty of carbon fiber just like the new Bentley Continental GT Eco Supercar! More details to be revealed! Stay tuned!
