If we convert those member join dates into prison sentences, Ric and I have done time for perpendicular vehicular homicide, Hamish is in for manslaughter and Patrick is a pedophile

I'm in no way arguing in favour of these people, just saying that they exist / are out there and taking them out of the market with rising cost of insurance is a smaller market, which inevitably has an effect on pricing - whether noticeable or not is another question.

88E touches 2 cents. Are we seeing early/slow start to ramp up or just some recovery? Good start to my hypothesis about it being a guaranteed win for the 1.8 cent buyer

Even if it's good advice not to buy something you can't afford to maintain or get insurance for, I still think these buyers exist in the market and are doing as such. There are still a lot of young people for whom these are dream cars and will do what they can to afford, skimping on areas they shouldn't. Saving capital is always easier than paying ongoing costs. Even for the older buyer, 2k might not sound much as a ratio for the asset's worth/capital, but for someone keeping it as an investment or only weekend use, along with a $700-800 registration it makes a lot of difference when deciding between keeping something just taking up room that you can sell for much what you paid for, and letting go of something that saps 3k out of your income each year.

Tough call... Was the vehicle in a driveable condition when you dropped it off? If so, then I think mechanic should wear the cost of towing to new workshop. It wasn't your choice for him to move workshops so that sucks and you probably shouldn't have had to pay for that one, but certainly if they have to tow it to other places to be worked on, then that one would be on you... Down the middle sounds fairer?

R34 GTR probably, but the 32/33 are still within reach for enthusiasts who don't have $2k a year at a 35-40k weekend asset but could have done $500. No more expensive than your average new sports car and people are still whacking $150 tyres on them. Club rego certainly boosted the demand of some cars. So yeah, I think it's a valid factor in purchase decision. Plenty of owners who bought before the inflated pricing too. I certainly don't feel like paying that much for insurance when the car cost me nowhere near its current value. Will probably be a factor in me moving it on depending what I can find at the time.

Lack of easy/cheap insurance could impact prices of these vehicles

Got a BUGG as a housewarming gift 3 years ago Can finally start using it without fear of it being stolen Don't know why these are so expensive, it looks like such a simple BBQ

Damn we've all grown up so much since I first posted here...nearly 10 years ago...

lol my mate broke the cardinal rule by inviting a mate with a standard car... They are properly quick cars, 9 and 10 second street setups, but seems pointless to go along if all they're doing is laps for rolling drags and I have less than 375rwkw

Nevermind...I'm not going either now, lol, just read the end of the text... "This meet is only for tuff cars only don't invite your mates with shitboxes or come in your standard cars for f**k sake!!"

Leigh up for a cruise tonight? There's a discreet meet on...

Oil pump sold Time to invest the proceeds Into more car parts

Someone stole your lawn?

I'll be honest I'm kind of winging this and don't know exactly what I'm doing...let's see how it turns out before I go pro...

I would never trust a man who doesn't have a lawn skylawnsaustralia

Peanuts = monkeys?

I enjoy my lawn work, not just relaxing but satisfying bringing it back from THE DEAD. Amazing what difference a little extra makes and you get to one up your neighbours. That was about a month ago^. Currently looking heaps thicker and lush. Tempted to tear it all up and start again with level soil. Just a shame there is a park next door so people walk across the lawn instead of the footpath; probably why it got so f**ked up in the first place.

Electric life No mixing oil for me Do miss the smells though

I know I'm old now because After oversowing the front lawns with seed I was watering them and some kid rode over the grass with his f**king unnecessary mountain bike, leaving a deep line across it And all I could think was "f**king kids, get off my lawn"

Write so it can be read out No.1 copy rule

Also saw Varietta (?) today. Such a weird looking car from the side with its bootlid
