I wonder it's worth getting a set of ARBs over? They're usually cheaper in the US than here anyway.

That was a stupid post with an implicit answer.

Forgive me, I'm thinking aloud.

Hmm, cant see any RD128's cheaper than $800 anyway. hardly worth the effort.

thought I'd come in here and talk to you mate, save you talking to yourself

Its certainly over valued, which just shows how weak the US $ is, and hopefully it will come down soon, but not until after I get back from England in December.
Its certainly true that Oz is now a really expensive country by world standards.

i have been looking at parts in uk dont know how much ahead if ahead at all i will be by the time i pay postage

Obviously depends on how much you buy.

I recently bought a door latch, window regulator, key& fob and a number of loose items such as trim clips etc and this was roughly $300 AUD worth. It was roughyl $80 in postage, so $380 all up.

The equivalent parts in Australia were well over $520 not including postage and this was buying the cheapest item from all different suppliers across Australia. So postage would still be on top of this.

My advice is to get your list together first then contact them for a price including postage. If the postage is reasonbable ie still cheaper than in Australia. Swipe the plastic and come again next time.

Currrently buying in UK (or US)is the way to go and Australia in comparision is rip off. (For me it was like speaking to someone 100 k's down the road via email).

AUD = US$0.9835. Time to shop?

Why the diesel cost $1.24 here in Bundy?
I think that $0.90 will be correct with the Oz dollar so high.

As soon as the banks will increase the interest rate again, the dollar will go to $1.10.
There are not many countries with strong as safe economy where investors can get interest over 4% for their money.
