1st time I have ever seen the little Aussie dollar looking so good
I can feel a mini parts buying spree coming on.
Wonder if it will eventually flow onto local parts suppliers?
Here's hoping.

there was a thread recently about local parts suppliers etc and the suppliers argument was that they would have bought goods at a higher rate than now and coupled with the fact that they are a business and looking to make a profit i dont see much reduction in price happening. from a buyers point of view, there are many things that determine where my business goes including price, convienience, level of support and service. i know a lot of people say if you dont give back to the local mini shops then they wont be there in the future, but thats just natural progression - its gunna happen no matter what. as with an business they need to move with the times, making their once niche market more competitive especially in terms of price (since we can now get things for half the price in the space of less than a week from overseas) |

The greeks are in trouble and there's words to the effect they covered up their true financial position last year to gain access to the EU. This has caused the Euro to drop sharply from 1.50 to about 1.30 against the US$. There's a chance it may continue to parity. Italy is not far behind Greece in financial troubles as is Spain and Ireland. The poms don't use the Euro as a currency, but they are tied up in it all the same. http://in.news.yahoo.com/139/20100227/8 ... -de-m.html Quote: London, Feb. 27 (ANI): Infuriated over a German magazine cover showing the famed Venus de Milo making an obscene finger gesture, a consumer rights group in Greece has called for a complete boycott of German products and stores.
In its latest issue, German magazine Focus showed the famous armless classical statue, now at the Louvre, raising her middle finger under the headline "Cheats in the euro family" - suggesting that Greece had deliberately misled EU peers to cheat its way into the eurozone, The Scotsman reports. "Greeks are no crooks; we want the German government to condemn this most improper publication," the paper quoted George Lakouritis, president of Greece's Consumer Institute (Inka), as saying. Inka distributed leaflets in central Athens and in front of German-owned consumer electronics store Media Markt, urging Greeks to heed the boycott. "The falsification of a statue of Greek history, beauty and civilisation, from a time when there (in Germany] they were eating bananas on trees is impermissible and unforgivable," Inka stated. The Venus cover has caused an outrage in Greece, which is seeking support from fellow EU countries such as Germany to cope with a debt crisis that threatens to destabilise the euro. Chancellor Angela Merkel's government has so far deflected appeals to promise aid to heavily indebted Greece. Germany's ambassador to Greece, Wolfgang Schultheiss, said he regretted that press reports caused offence. "Germany is firmly on Greece's side. The ambassador's statements were not satisfactory," Mr Lakouritis said. "If you have such friends, what do you need enemies for?," Schultheiss said, after eing summoned by Greece's parliament speaker Filippos Petsalnikos. (ANI) |
