Its still quite some time till 2017  Lets hope some clever ideas service during
this period.
I truly believe we should be the same as the UK and allow new car imports
as left hand drive sorry performax but some will still want the foolish conversion

Love to see the C7 here for under $120k LHD adding all import duties and ADR adjustments
Soon we will have a motorists party in nsw we can lobby.

For now a Holden ute looks like a collector for later..

You can fully register an old car that doesn't stop, or handle and has absolutely no safety features at all.
But you cant have a new LHD car, with every electronic driver aid imaginable, 30 air bags, crumple zones etc. etc.

Fair enough on a car which you can buy RHD, but on low volume imports, it doesn't make any sense at all !
You have to spend up to 50K having your car butchered, which is F-cking ridiculous.  :grr:

Well said,

Bowling green plant wouldnt even consider making 12 new C7's for rhd to Australia
I can hear the laughter . :laugh:....

Stephen good article

That is reality in the business world.

The lucky county is now in the situation that we are heading to the time when we can not afford to feed our selfless.

The majority of good trades people are 40 plus and the younger generation are not exposed to the same experiences that the generation of the 50s/60s/70s were

The experience and expertise  our country thrived on, is dying out
where are we heading ?

Political bullsh#t is killing us
Our politicians need to grow some B__ls  and make real decisions

3 years of T Abbortts   BS is going to take some getting past
and what was all the negative S_t for,  just to get the job.
 F the country!

I don't think much of the previous government either.
and the greens
Well I cant go there as I would get banned.

our politicians  are  turning our system into the  Americans stile of crap   and look how there country runs.
Or is it running.
They are bankrupt and no one is prepared to stand up and say so.
their whole  system is living on borrowed time and  Money
17 trillion and counting
