The Wasteland - ACT Style

[Manuel Kasko]

Understand frustration around extended timeframes in compliance but i'd take a moment before rushing into demanding phone calls. Pretty sure they won't give you the car until the bill is paid, and a rational conversation will get you a lot further than a Jordan Belfort effort.

Cheers Tats

Not the type of person to call and demand stuff anyways, the conversation I had with Iron Chef was very civil.

I cop enough of that in customer service and find it gets you hardly anywhere.

[Manuel Kasko]

Also that's awesome news Rob!

Easter cruise!!!

Just got off a lengthy call to Iron Chef and it's currently all bad news with no time frames.

It seems DOTARS has decided to audit the shop and select my car personally for an audit.

mate I'm sorry to hear that you are the unlucky one, and it is hard not to wonder if DOTARS monitor forums and decided to go after you....

And I understand the pain because my Cima was held up for ages in compliance too....every week I had to get into the wrong car to drive down here was a PITA.

BUT.....in the end you decided to import a car yourself instead of buying something locally. You almost certainly paid far less and got a much better car than you if you bought locally. The risk of course is that you are taking on any delays and unexpected costs, and in this case you have been unlucky.

It really is neither your broker nor your compliancer's fault that there has been a delay; you've just been unlucky this time.

In the end, you did have a choice to go to Parramatta Rd and buy some R grade car with a wound back odometer at top dollar, but you could have taken it home the same day.

Wait I could have gone and seen those guys and picked up a R grade for the same price?! Damn I missed out

As everyone has been saying the wait is going to be well worth it.

Got some good news that I might be shipped off to NZ for 3 months to help train some new staff so fingers crossed that goes ahead because the South African one didn't

Never work in a chemical plant family business ran by Germans. Regrets were had.

[Got a Pulsar]

I speak to myself and yell things all the time at work plus hollering alternate lyrics to songs on the radio. (usually pretty rough)

Keeps me sane.

[dontyellpl0x]

You'd have to see her to understand me thinks

[gtr judd]

I think my younger brother is starting to look into buying a GTR, R32 of course. This makes me excited.

Pretty sure he is gonna look at his finances to see if needs to sell his Audi or keep it as a daily.

Then to find one here or import, after Dan's case I'm a little worried

[Sinista32]

better leave for work Rob - all this rain is going to make mayhem on the roads

Edited April 3, 2014 by Sinista32

[Manuel Kasko]

Yep rain sucks!
Not sure why people drive at 60kmh on a straight highway that is normally 80kmh

[Anfanee]

Cause Canberra

If you do try using Jspec might be "easier" mine was hassleless but then again things change. Choose Melbourne as your delivery port these less cars to be complianced that side unlike NSW where they probably complicance for other states without a port.
