    You can thank real-estate, esp. here in Oz, soon as the parents cark it, they end up with a fortune [inherit really well] and are all buying flash cars, you can see now that the housing market has slowed and so has the luxury car sales, right on Q
    Correct

    It was only sold/imported [as a stop gap] when the Thailand factory could not supply, due to earthquake or flood and/or both.

    At that time Japan also had a 5% import duty, Thailand is 0%

    The only Made In Japan Honda sold here is the Odyssey, every other vehicle in its range is made in USA, Thailand, and UK

    ALDI had one a few weeks ago, but not battery powered, not even sure if 12V?

    A lot of uses for the money, however I really want the versatility of cordless.

    This is going to sound a bit odd, but I only ever use genuine Porsche tyre valves and every time I check my tyre pressures, they’ve never deviated from what I set them at.

    Not valve caps Peter, tyre valves.

    This looks like the one to get. Still requires a battery to be bought separately though.

    I've just landed 2 cars from the US. No asbestos inspection. I'd say the scare is over.

    btw this vette is correctly priced according to US auction results, but the market here isn't ready to pay that.
