The sad part of your story Frank is that there are blokes out there who are actually buying it from Aus dealers for that sort of money, not only doing themselves out at least double of what they should as you've proven, but these bluff's which I'll call "genuine Recommended Retail Prices" (yeah right) wouldn't be asked by the smiling assassins if they weren't getting those that don't know better. Thank Goodness for the internet I say.
Another reason why this place (the forum) has been just the best. It's saved me some real big ones cos of the generosity of some of our selfless members who have gone out of their way to order for me from O/S, thereby taking the middle rip off artist out of the loop. There's more than one way to skin a cat buddy?
That's why I try to do what I can, when I can. In different ways maybe but still, looking after each other to beat the bast#rds is what it's all about.
Still criminal though you had to pay that much anyway but you gotta balance what it costs to be off the road too, which is what you had to do no doubt.
We never know what's round the corner (no pun intended) as I see and other firies on here see regularly.
So what costs do you put on a good ride? Yeah, that one too LOL
You're back on the road now which is what matters mate.
Now, where was that post on us Aussies getting together for a cruise and maybe a light beer mmmm
