Thanks, that does make me feel better!

Apparently those strong cyclonic winds you had in Perth is apparently making its way to Sydney by Sunday/Monday. I guess we'll be even by then

It's nothing down here where I am, the Perthies always kick up a stink over a bit of a breeze.

I've seen the odd photo or two of your area...looks like God's country

Rego sucks, huh Morgs. That stupid increase in rego based on how much your car weighs - we need to get rid of that government...

[Morgan]

What!? What is this tax? I know there was road tax or something depending on how much your car weighs. Our 80series copped it big time (weighed nearly 3T or something)!

[skillionaire]

NSW is ridiculous.

No tax, just an increase in rego basically. They announced it a couple months ago...something to do with targetting small cars, just because everyones buying them these days.

I think our rego is still cheaper than some other states

We'll be in Sydney late September, hope to catch up with anyone that misses MDSC! And catch up again with those who make it!

[Morgan]

Late Sept hey?! Definitely need to organise a cruise of some sort. Get dates in now so NO ONE is busy!

So is that the govt. wanting us to buy small cars?
Utter garbage. Perhaps some people need bigger cars? Anyone thought of that?
