1. If they got rid of the dole what will people do for money? They will turn to crime which will cost LOTS more in the long run i.e $1,000,000 per year to keep someone in max security. Hey just look at America:)
2. Even if petrol prices DOUBLE to $3 a litre that's really only an extra what $100-150 a week (if you own a v8 for arguments sake and it takes $120 a week) if your budget is that tight them maybe you should look at alternative transport.

Is anyone else slightly annoyed (read pissed off) by the outcome of this?
Forget what kind of car the original poster drives.
Forget the fact the original poster seems to be fairly Remorseful.
Fact;
With blatant disregard, he broke the law.
40+ over the speed limit in any zone is pretty much saying f**k you.
10 / 20kmh on an overtake ., ok , this you can understand.
40+kmh though .... come on!
If he owned any other car every person on this forum would be giving him a mouth full but because he is driving the most enviable car on this forum "the r35" he is given help and treated otherwise.
Also;
Trying to excuse what he did with the excuse he was far from civilization or the speed limits are too low in that area or the other car was being dangerous by driving under the speed limit or his car has infinity years of engineering thus it can drive fast and be safe...etcetc.
is a load of SHIT!
The original posters licence is "so important" to his life and job. Without it he would be unable to work, as a result no income, goodby life, good by job / family support etc etc
Any normal person being aware of this , being aware of how important your licence actually is to everything in your life
WTF would you drive as fast as you did?
There is no excuse for it!
Pretending to care / show remorse by doing A volunteer car safety session ( or whatever the he'll it was) is nothing but a joke!!
Being a snake trying to save money / insurance complications by registering your car under a business is a cop out.
You deserve to pay 1000s more from your next rego renewal and you certainly deserve to be knocked back from most insurance companies you enquire with to see if you can get a cheaper quote!
You are no different to a person driving double the speed limit in a school zone, no differnt to some one doing burn outs in a city centre.
You are however similar in the way that whenever someone gets caught for being a f**kwit you are sorry. You wish you never did it.
I applaud you for your determination / success in being awarded a temporary driving permit during your suspension. However, I feel that you do not deserve it and won't be taught the appropriate / just lesson.
Your work life and personal life should suffer and become hard.
Everbody who breaks a similar law suffers, so why are you any different?!
You are not!
Bring on karma!
Anyone with half a brain would see speed limits are there Merliey for revenue raising with safety as a perfect excuse just look at this for example
- Nsw introduces mobile speed cameras are months of operation expected fines are down to a measly $250,000 a week!!! Rather than a good on drivers for doing the right thing they decide to try and bring in another 60+ vans , keep in mind the company that operates these vans are owned by Macquarie bank
- If speeding kills which is doesn't deceleration does:P Then the German autobahns would be a blood bath??
- I cant see how you can break in and steal a car and be let off with a fine <$300 while speeding your instantly given a ticket with no real choice to pay.... An interview with a ex highway patrol even stated if they genuinely wanted people to slow down theyd have there lights on at all times but instead they camp out of view in unmarked vehicles.
Make your own mind up!
*Futhur more there is no real legal defense to get off a speeding fine except for hire an expert witness at the tune of $2500+ plus legals for your solicitor , seams set up to favor someone......

No one has mentioned LCT when its here you will need to pay what Customs declare the value as so say 120,000 - LCT threshold of 57,000 = 63,000 x 33% = LCT Payable = $20790 + GST on purchase price of car+shipping etc

If you got the cash to buy it outright your nuts financing it mate, if you buy it outright you can claim depreciation, gst etc etc finanicing it your spending $1 to get 30 cents back???

Who guys id say its legit, but wouldnt you of checked the 15 yr rule before importing it?
-
For everyone here who is screaming omg what about insurance etc etc does anyone here actually know the costs of insurance, its defiantly not the cost everyone is making it out to be.....
Great idea i think maybe just plan it out a bit more, great idea on having a mechanic who can offer help to everyone. All the best with it mate

I dont think cheap is the way to go as from experience you end up spending more on repairs to keep it on the road. Your better off spending 8k mark the money you spend now you will save if you had got a older car + your driving a newer car around you get me?
As above mitsubish magna 6 there cheap and tough as nails, just stay away from a Bombodore or a Fraud.
