Car - Almost a reality!

Well the mechanics have had their way with the vehicle and it is now certified Road Worthy (which is required by law) and thankfully only has to be done ONCE for the lifetime of registration :) Today I will go down and get it registered and get the plates and we are set!

Then we can go to the coast on the weekend (45 min drive) or up into the hinterlands (45 min drive) or even just to the grocery store! WOOT! I think it was a bit idealist to think that here would-be or CAN-BE like japan as far as public transport... So we now have a car :) Here is the breakdown total for the car.

2700 at auction
40 to fill up the gas tank
300 insurance for a year
570 for safety work which was required and inspection
50 for registration for a year

3660 AUD not bad in my opinion for a decent little car ;-)
