Licence to move permit over here (was) - $27 for 24 hours

[Liberty]

I don't think we do any of that in NSW... I wasn't asked to pay for anything anyway, and it was two years ago so if something in the laws have changed since then then that explains it.

[Shiv]

Haha, I will! I think I've bored the pants off of everyone with me banging on about it and not having anything to show for it already! Someone sent me this the other day...

Haha, that's allright, we're all car enthusiasts here, we understand!

You going on any four'bee'four journeys anytime soon, Shiv?

Or Alex!?

I promise you my car is packed to the brim with all my off road gear. I did that as soon as I got home from work yesterday.

But no off roading today. Its pissing sideways with rain and the tracks I was going too are going to be as slippery as ice and river crossings impassible. Next weekend hopefully....

Bad start to my morning. Driving cams car for him to the workshop to fit front and rear bars, get pulled over by the local constabulary.

100 dollar fine later, on your way sir.

First fine/infringement and wasn't even in my own car

Should have told him you were waiting for a mate.

Apparently my friend was pulled over earlier today, was asked what the hurry was. He said exactly that and the cop laughed his head off, gave his license back and was told to have a good day.

I'm still questioning whether that actually happened, but if it did, try it next time.

[Richo]

more than likely get yuh head bashed in over here

Tough break.

You'd think on a day as wet and wild as today, they'd have more important things to do.

Just think about all the lane hoggers aggravating other motorists and causing unsafe driving practices....

[mark300]

You'd think so. Shit weather and all that, thought he would have traffic to direct or accidents to attend, apparently a car without a front bar is more important

Awesome.

Got a new clutch today.










It's on the back seat hahaha

[skillionaire]

So, you've basically 'put it in'.

[Adam]

As far as I'm concerned. It's installed, and I could sell the car with new clutch and gearbox.

Kemspey is now under major flooding and still rising.

[Adam]

Do you reckon they wanna buy a car?

Every time I convince myself I should let it go..... I drive it.

[RX25SE]

So..

Spec B has been registered in Vic and is now the daily drive. Commodore is up on blocks with its arse spread out all over the shed.

This bloke, an acquaintance of my mate with the workshop,hears it's coming up for sale and rings last week about buying it and could he come for a look.
I explain the diff needs a bit of work and the car needs a general tidy up (I didn't tell him I was returning the brakes to standard to get it through rego) before I'm ready to take inspections. He asks could he come over for a look. I explain politely again that I'm not in a position to let anyone look at it. He asks again and starts talking deposits. I assure him he will be the first I call when it's ready but I will need a couple of weeks to get it to a stage I'm happy with and he reluctantly leaves it at that.

He rang again yesterday asking for a look. I, rather bluntly, explained it all again and reassured him he will be the first I call.

The background on this bloke is he has been driving a shitbox XF Falcon for many years (I saw it when he bought it and it was 'ed then) and it has been issued with a defect notice so now he is in a hurry to find a car; he has even covered the defect notice and is continuing to drive it.


Am I potentially pushing a buyer away? Should I have let him take a look, then let him drive it when ready?

I'm doing it this way as I believe it sets a poor example and could drive the price down if he sees it in bits and looking filthy. First impressions and all that...



Discuss.

[Adam]

if he wants it so bad, ask for 1k more

[RX25SE]

I have already told him the price, which is more than the dealers are asking, so that may be pushing it a bit.
Mind you it comes with Roadworthy Cert, 4 new 17" tyres and 12 months rego.

[Brett]

Fix it quick and flog it to him Jase.

[Adam]

Why is he so eager to buy it?

Because Jase car!
