Toowoomba swap meet

my yearly trip upto Toowoomba was on Saturday. slick parts were pretty thin on the ground, only saw two grills a 61 &64 $95 each. I did see a nice 66 camper and a cool looking 58. http://i890.photobucket.com/albums/ac102/557f1/IMGA0498_zpsn3ihepye.jpg http://i890.photobucket.com/albums/ac102/557...

Re: Introduction

hi. there was a tub on ebay for $800 .and it was rough.
I had a look at a local importer and they quote $550 per meter3 plus the donation to the ato.
it might be cheaper to bring one in as a trailer.but it would need a title.
