So this New Car I bought, well I didn't mention that I bought it unregistered. It was a gamble, but we were very thorough on it, and it payed off. Because when I took it over the Pits today, it just failed with only 5 minor flaws. Easily fixed the same day.
1. The Steering needed centering
2. The Drivers seat needed to be fixed more securely.
3. The Exhaust needed to be fastened better.
(Those three cost just $40 - A great deal)
4. The bull bar (Big metal bumper thing in case you didn't know) needed to be painted black on the back to prevent reflections in the drivers eyes from the silver.
(Did that myself)
5. One new tyre - I found a cheap 2nd hand one for $80 as opposed to $200 for a New Yokahama like the rest of the car has. (It had only done like 5000km's. It was brand new really).
So I got away with it for $120. Not bad for a 12 year old car. But you know what fucked me when I went back the 2nd time? No, not the tyres. No, the engine didn't blow up.
The FUCKING Registration place had closed at 4p fucking m! I missed it by 10 minutes. It's the middle of the day! What makes government "services" so special that they get hours like that? How is that fair?
Now I have to catch public transport out there again on Monday to get ANOTHER temporary licence because they don't work weekends either - like the world stops on weekends.
Is this just an Aussie thing? Or do all countries have to put up with that shit?
