20 days time... :D
oh... pfft! Disregard last! :angel:
Mark - Sorry to hear about your rego troubles (had those :s), especially before the show...
Sorry to hear about all your insurance troubles too (DEFINITELY have those - paying $2208 comprehensive + $650,000,000 Green Slip AAGAGHAHAGADSD&*()). What can I say? I like to burn the most fulliest slick donuts in my Suzuki Swift :s
Anyway, just dropped in too say (ignoring the rest :p) everything looks great, and I am - as always - remarkably jealous.
Btw. Congrats on the name - it's ace.
Allianz is excellent, in my experience. When I bought my Peugeot 306GTi6 (167bhp naturally aspirated, just had to mention that...) I had a bloke back into me in the first couple of weeks, and then another bloke ran into the back of me in a multi-car pile-up (which I thought I had survived by stopping without hitting the car in front...) a couple of weeks after that. Allianz paid out without the slightest hitch on both claims on a brand new insurance policy.Quote:

Insurance is a racket. Like any racket you need to be really prudent about how you interact with it.

What a stupid rule!Quote:

Haha! :angel:
Ah, I see. Well, Chazza's got the right idea, then. :)
When you are on Historic Rego, the comprehensive policy is VERY cheap.Quote:

The rego (including CTP) was $53.00, so unless it's your only form of transport, Historic Rego is fantastic!:thumbsup:

Hello everyone,
Thanks for the words of advice and encouragement. I like to see all the chatter here, much better than talking to myself :D
Dirty Mary is to be my daily driver for a while, as well as weekend ruff truck (hardly a 'tuff' truck!) so historic rego is out of the equation.
Prior to this weekend I have ground smooth all the chassis repair welds and slopped some paint around, got everything in the dash panel working as far as I can tell and acquired a few bits and pieces such as a front recovery point, front hub and a truck cab fill panel (Much appreciated JDNSW!).
Apart from that, I'm working this long weekend and have a heap of model trains to build for people so nothing more to report on :(
