Pity Dan isnt around to explain his illegal tax, Adam Bandt warning the Albanese Govt not to try and impose a national Tax is about the best thing he has done since entering politics although Im sure Albo and his State Labor stooges will try and get the lost revenue back with some other underhanded suedo EV tax like jacking up Rego's of old gas guzzlers etc...
Every State appeared before the High Court arguing that Victoria's tax was constitutional. Those arguments fell on deaf ears and I think that the Federal Government will have no option but to introduce a road users' charge. They will get away with it if they drop the fuel excise by a corresponding amount.

The most favourite car of all cars on this earth was the XY GTHO Phase 3. The fastest 4 door production car in its sat in 1971. The funny thing is it could be bought for around $5,500 dollars in its day new. Limited numbers but available. Ever since it was first sold, it never dropped in value. Not even 2 years later when it was second hand. It was never bought as a second hand car for less than the original price. Now a version full of rust and needing thousands to restore (80-150 thousand dollars) will still return more than $500,000 if not more than $1,000,000. Which has happened before. I own a 2005 Nissan Pulsar Q. Automatic if that counts. Electric windows, air conditioning, power steering, cruise control, factor sunroof, and a few more options. I hope as unwanted it becomes a car that someone might appreciate. Especially considering a 18 year old car had 45,000 original kilometres on the clock. NO, not wound back or a dodgy done here. I am not even sure what to insure it for. Definitely not a market value policy. Sorry guys. It isn’t a GT Falcon. Not a GTS Monaro. Just a Nissan with almost minimal genuine miles. Body and interior rates as at least 8 out of 10. Here is the funny thing. It is my every day driver. I don’t ever want to sell it. Not fast. Not exciting. Very economical. Zippy yes. Easy to park. Very clean and almost new.

Still saving and looking for my 'project' - XR or XT GT with a 289 V8.

An XR V8 was 2nd on my list, XB was third. They are bloody hard to find, XRs in particular. I got lucky with the LC, a few planets aligned and here we are. As I said, I looked for long enough.

XB coupe would be my preference.
If not an XB, and XC would suffice.

The car that I really want from that era, but can't afford, is the Valiant Charger R/T E 49 with the straight six, triple Webers and 4 speed manual gearbox.
