Yep - neighbor across the road just bought his missus a new Cerato so their Mini was up for sale - he paid $8K for it 3 years ago - they did try and move it on 12 months ago and couldn't get $4K for it so hung onto it a bit longer - he sold it on the weekend for $8K. To say he was happy was an understatement.

There are rumours around some dealers are trying to cancel customers orders for new vehicles for any reason, and then the vehicle is being sold for a lot more than the original deal.

They must be rumours, Paul. I cannot even imagine in my wildests a car dealer doing that as that would be as shonky as a ****house Rat, & immoral trading.

Hang on a tick. Dealers you said?

What to do when you need to transport 55m long wind turbine blades through a city and then out and up on winding hill roads to the ridgeline site?

Once the usual option of changing the roads alignment along the way failed, the solution was a special trailer that tilts the blades up thus shortening the horizontal length needed.

I wonder if my wife will let me do that to hers. It's the same model.
