No not too many from Victoria made it up.Was Fair2...my old GranSport Alfieri with red full leather there?
Not sap but pollen and I was blessed with bird droppings.Brilliant. But does my worry about tree sap dropping on to gleaming paintwork show up my OCD a bit ?
Ah you must be the Ozzie Chris Bassett, former owner of Doris and brexiteer.Not sap but pollen and I was blessed with bird droppings.
There was a pent up demand to get back out and do these things, so there was a great spirit evident.Good to see these events starting to open up, might be a while here though but looking forward with fingers crossed
I agree there is unfortunately a vacuum on the other side. Somebody of substance needs to stand up to this guy. We really do pity our poor Victorian friends for what you have been put through. Here's a thought, you could always move north to freedom?Bruce, No reasonable person would deny Chairman Dan is a forceful character who gets what he wants. Without doubt the Hotel quarantine debacle was initiated by a person,or persons enjoying protected status so the "enquiry" was a cover-up. A reasonable person would rate Chairman Dan as a most likely suspect. However,he enjoys popularity because he gets things done. And,we really have no alternative since the Liberal opposition are an opposition in name only. They are utterly ineffectual such that the Liberal leader in Parliament is unknown to the general public,you never hear or see the bloke. Not many like Chairman Dan & I'd say he would be a nightmare as a boss,but he's the best we have.
Hey Bruce... That's strange... Customs valuations really only apply to personal imports, where the owner has lived overseas 12 months minimum and owned the car throughout. In such cases customs apply an interpretation because the (historical) price paid at purchase may be somewhat different to the valuation at present day. But if buying such a car direct from Australia.. Most likely under the pre-1988 or 25 year old rule, its usually a simple calculation.... 5% duty on purchase cost, 10% gst on landed cost, and luxury car tax where applicable. Usually all based on furnishing an invoice and proof of payment. Only variations customs apply are a) car has been purchased a considerable time in the past and one party argues asset appreciation or depreciation or b) customs has reason to think that the declared price is too low based on evidence of financial payments, or suspicions of 'contra trades'...... Examples such as car for art bilateral swaps designed to cheat both jurisdictions out of tax revenue.It turns out another Kyalami has been imported from South Africa ( I won't name who ) and it is stuck in Australian customs.
Customs are valuing it much more than they ought in order to gain greater revenue. The fight continues.
