Hmm.. didn't know AUDM R35's had black seats. Is it an import from 09?

[domino_z]

there were 2 models for 2009 and 2010 - a base (black seats) and premium (red/black seats)

pics show it's an aussie 2009 - you can tell by the + and - buttons under the nav screen which was the old style analogue screen

I'd assume it's from Lamborghini Sydney which was recently closed and had its cars repod.

Jesus... Sign of the times.. Looks like the Gillard government is keeping its promises by screwing the country...

yes, i remember them making the promise of 'screwing the country'

growth with a 3, unemployment low 5's, 3% cash rate, amongst lowest ranked tax to gdp and net debt stats amongst OECD nations, billions more left of investment to come in the resource industry etc etc.... yep, really screwing the country.

LOL @ lowest ranked tax to GDP, and yet we are the highest taxed people in the world... I don't know about you, but I despise having to fork out 48c in the dollar, and if that's not bad enough the Government fuel tax is set to rise again by up to 10c in 2013 (making it ~75c/ltr)....

Gillard is nothing but a one eyed 7urkey with no legs, and a brain snap... Any 4 year old can see Australia is a runaway train right now, even Gillard has no idea WTF is happening (other than paying off the boat people on Craig Thomson's credit card) and to make things worse, Swanny called a 3% cash rate an "emergency" cash rate just 12 months ago, then went on free to air TV saying "anyone who said that is not credible and cannot be taken seriously" the field of economics..

Apparently his own words became a Tony Abbot scare campaign LOL

If only you could see the writing on the wall.... Recession is right on our door steps, and the country is in debt up to its eyeballs once again. Oh wait, was that Peter Slipper's fault? Maybe Gillard's union fund she set up has the funds required to bring that surplus in 2013 and keep at least 1 promise to the Australian people???

Oh, and BTW, the mining boom is over. How do I know that? I work in the industry and in recent times have held my head in shame watching thousands of hard working Aussies lose their jobs (BHP, Rio, Fortesque, etc) What was that you said about investment in our resource industry? Oh yeah, that's right, that's the sound of China buying and cashing in on our mines and using import labour to run them like prison camps because the price of mineral ore has halved.....

End rant, back on topic...

$96k sold to a dealer!

[MattR]

not bad if you had the cash, much interest in it??

[fatz]

Not many bargains in the auction

Most went for full freight

[Sunkist]

Uh wouldn't call it a bargain for an 09. Yeh everything is selling for a lot, our ones are selling on average $10k more than reserve. Awesome for us! 2012 Lamborghini gaillardia 470km. Sold for something like 50k less than retail

[GT-R32]

I went to Sydney to check it out. Drove home early and didn't attend the auction when I saw the interest in the GTR LOL

At $96k it's not cheap when you add the premium and then EFT fees... Dealer will slap $110k on it though.

Certainly a success for you there Aaron. Plenty of money still out there for these cars!

[wagtr]

What is a Gallardia ?LOL

[GT-R32]

Gaillardia is a flower LOL

End rant, back on topic...

jeepers creepers, where to start! my oh my we have entered a fact free zone. Oh and i saw your original post, interesting edits....

you originally made the inference that my post suggested current gov was responsible for the suite of numbers i listed above. Read my post, i didn't apportion responsibility any which way, it was a rebuttal to your spurious claim that Gillard gov is "keeping its promises by screwing the country", if that were the case the country would be.... screwed, in your opinion. I then stated the FACTS, and if you believe the current economic conditions are analogous with a "screwed country" i don't think we are living on the same planet. And no objective, level headed person could share your assertion.

1. "we are the highest taxed people in the world"

Nope, Denmark and Sweden routinely, and continue to take that title. Your claim is just plain and utterly wrong. A few points. There's no point comparing ourselves to Libya or other such countries with crazy tax burdens (or lack there-of), it only really makes sense to compare to similar countries. The closest you'll get is the OECD. Of which, as of 2010 we are the 5th lowest taxing country as of percentage of GDP in the ENTIRE OECD

Source of that graph is OECD and ABS, 2009 put us at 6th lowest. OECD data for 2010,,

http://www.oecd-ilib...table-2012-1-en

Puts us at 5th lowest in the OECD.

But wait, there's more... Treasury numbers for 2010-11 (not in the most recent OECD stats, but where they get the numbers from) note: "he tax to GDP ratio fell 4.2 percentage points to 20.1 per cent in 2010-11"

20.1 %! And you think we are the "highest taxed people in the world"??? - That level of tax take would almost put us at the VERY BOTTOM of the tax pile amongst OECD nations. That is just insane! This makes your assertion of our level of taxation untenable. Moving on...

DEBT

Again, facts aren't going to be too kind to you here either...

http://www.oecd-ilib...v-debt-table-en

Australia's ranking for 2012? Government debt as a percentage of GDP: 29.3% ranking us SECOND. Beaten only be Estonia and we even nudge out tax haven Luxembourg for 2nd spot.

Maybe you're thinking everyone is there or there-abouts, so being SECOND LOWEST doesn't mean much as the spread is narrow... not quite. Average Government debt to GDP ratio for OECD nations? a whopping 108.7%

So your second assertion that the "country is in debt up to its eyeballs" is also false. Debt to GDP ration of 28% is negligible, and of no particular concern. And if you're truly worried about a coming economic apocalypse (and it's fairly obvious you would advocate for a budget surplus position from your comments) explain how rushing to surplus is going to help if there is such nastiness coming our way? You can't simultaneously hold both positions.

But if you still think 28% is "up to your eyeballs", some guy called Glenn Stevens has had a few words to say on this over the last few years, July 2010, Anika Foundation speech (in response to audience question)

"There is virtually no net public debt in the country at all in contrast to much of the developed world,"

"The most recent figures out of Canberra was a peak of five or six per cent of GDP. So far from that being the highest in history, it is closer to the lowest."

And in a speech this year, there's some more interesting comments from the RBA Gov, also alluding to this 'glass half empty' view that's taken hold... (wonder how that could have happened...)

Yep, doing amazingly fine given the current conditions around the world.

As for the mining boom? Did i refer to that? I don't think so. I was simply referring to the huge amount of capital works that is still to come. Do you think the rural millions in China/India are going to stop moving to the cities? Do you think Vietnam/Indonesia etc are going to stop developing? Just because commodity prices aren't stratospherically high does that mean the resource industry won't be profitable? The insane part of the party is over yes, but the party itself isn't. Even though it's not at all taking into account the full costs of extracting all those resources...

no point referring to all the other "fluff" in your post when we're discussing such weighty topics.

I have plenty more re: how well Australia is doing but this post is already long enough. I will revisit the RBA interest rates point you raised.

this thread is starting to deliver!
