My mate has an EL Falcon for sale unregistered for $1500neg. It's got 150,000k's on it but it's still in good nick.
Looks something like this.....
owt will do to run about in, whats un registered mean then. Cos in the uk it means something different.
You need registration on the vehicle to be able to legally drive on public roads.
get caught(in Canberra) and you'll be up for an $1100 fine as just a starting point.
Advice for moving over here, when out bush watch out for drop bears and only eat road kill roo's that have been marked with pink dye.
I'm not too sure about the rest of the country but in the ACT and SE NSW the road kill roo's and wombats are marked with a heat active dye. After an animal first dies it body temp falls to that of it surroundings. As the decompisition process begins the internal body tepmerature of the dead animal gradually increases. Parks and Conservation officers drive around and mark road kill with this pink dye, normally an 'X' or just a line in the most visable area. The dye fades as the animal decomposes and the meat turns. The brighter the dye the fresher the meat.
You may come across animals marked with yellow or green flouro dye, DON'T eat these, they've been baited with 1080 poison, they are used to knock down wild dogs.
Im sure i will be able to afford to go shopping and eat as normal people do and not pickup roadkill.
lol ^^
You're going to fit in here nicely.
see ya for a beer and a ride soon then dave ..that el Falcons about the same size as one of our Ford Granadas ..but with a bigger lump !!
regestering a car heres much the same as the uk u need ctp[ basic]insurance and the registraion fee plus a blue slip [mot ] unlees its been unreg for three months or more then u need a pink slip [basically an id of the vehicle ]whenu buy it get the guy to say he sold it to you for 700bucks or summat that way ur rego will be cheaper its on a sliding scale depending on the value should caost you about 300-400bucks for the ctp and rego..and about 40bucks for ur blue slip ..btw u can change ur uklicence straaight over at any rta office for an aussie one no problem
Think ill just buy one thats registered,seems like a load of hassle. Dont know about meet you for a ride its gonna take about 8 weeks or more for my bike to get there then ive got to get that legal.
everything to do with the RTA is a hassle... although its good now that is your car is under 5 years old you dont need a pink slip.
but at least you should be able to find a house round Camden, Mount Annan, Currans Hill... id suggest Currans Hill over Mount Annan as its more family oriented with less junkies and not right in the midst of Campbelltown. There's also Narellan which is worth a look.
Welcome to Sydney, its the only City worth living in Dont listen to the Queenslanders, theyre just overcome by mosquitos, cane toads and bogans! *runs* [B)]
Darn and I rode the backroads around Picton/Camden a while ago and although they're a bit rouch in places, there were buggar-all cars using them and a some twisty bits. That'll be in your backyard around that area you're looking it.
more bloody poms - as if we need them! Spot the Aussie these days between teh poms, the asians and lebs no room for us lol
hey mate, wont be till January but i am lookin for a 3 bedder place in the Holsworthy/Liverpool area (not far from Cambelltown) so if you can find temp accom till then you will be more than welcome to the safety and security of my place.
and if you have a preference for a cheap car give me a yell and I will try to hook you up, my uncle is the shiznit with Egay and is pretty good at finding cheap fords and makin sure they go alright.
welcome to oz dave..enjoy gods country
Thanks for that mate, where abouts is your place then it could be well worth looking into.quote:Originally posted by NNNGary

And as for a car im not really bothered what it is as long as it goes and stops and its cheap. Just a runabout until we get settled and can get a better one.
