Annual inspections are a way of life in NSW, and while they are inconvenient, they work in keeping bombs and potential death traps off the road. Whilst they don't guarantee the bomb following you will always have decent brakes, they do force people who mechanically neglect their cars to at least have them looked at once a year. :twisted:

screw yearly checks, its just more money and headaches for you. the amount of things that would be picked up on would be stupid (if its the same as in england) and i dont think a reversing granny has anything to do with a check on the car, they willl still manage it with a safer car


but a new car has them reversing sensers :idea:

Did you know that, in a new car with parking sensors, you're not covered by warrantee and insurance if you back into something. This is because you should still be looking where you're going.

was mix and match, it's slightly different and doesn't have the "red" tinge..it's 1 day old paint too Smile.

can't really notice it by eye though, looks a lot more exaggerated in the pic.

it's probably just a bit more glossy and you catch the reflection of the lawn better

Good to see it back on the road, you can see in the pics where they have had to blend it down the drivers side, just below the door handle, as you said the pics exagerate it and as long as your happy that's all that counts 8)
