  1. Past hour
  2. It reached US $5,000 an ounce yesterday, or AUD 7,000.
  3. Crazy prices for split window Kombis. I remember them as an underpowered tin box on wheels. But they had a lot of character.
  4. That's ok Nev, enjoy your junk free retirement. I haven't quite got to that stage yet; achieved the retirement part but still haven't cured the junk addiction.
  5. Today
  6. It all depends on how much money you've got, what your dream is, and how much determination you've got, to achieve that dream. One of the most amazing restorations I've seen is a split window Kombi, salvaged from the Higginsville Pumping station - where the entire front of it had been cut off, the body stood on its front, a huge chunk cut out of the side of it, and then it was used as a dunny!! But a bloke set his heart on having a fully restored split window Kombi, and he recovered every part of that "dunny Kombi" and restored it to superb driving condition!! It reportedly cost him $100,000! Why anyone would do this, to end up driving a gutless old pile of VW crap, is beyond me! But that's just my opinion! This is the Kombi when it was used as a dunny, I can't find photos of it when restored, I did see them on Instagram, but can't find them now.
  7. Yesterday
  8. There's a lot more Labor supporters that you are writing OFF. Nev
  9. Ooo, sorry I spoke, wille. . Nev
  10. I am currently salvaging Landrover parts salvaged from the Harcourt bushfire. It is quite satisfying.
  11. Correct. Stephen Spielberg
  12. spielberg the director
  13. To each his own. Nev, you do what you enjoy in life and I'll do the same.

  15. Life is too short to waste on stuff that should be on the tip. Trust me I know. Nev
  16. I think I'll enjoy this project for a couple of reasons. Firstly, by it's nature it will be a fairly long term project and a nice way to play around in the shed on rainy days. It's all about the journey, not the destination. Secondly, it's not a registered road bike project. Not having to be road legal means one important thing - total freedom to do want I want. No concern about rules and regulations, no dealing with difficult bureaucrats and naysayers, and not having to march to someone else's drumbeat. It also helps a lot that I have a passion for rusty junk, which is how this thing will most likely be described.
  17. I am getting through my copy of Peter’s book, nice to have a break from fiction for a bit. Some real interesting stuff in there. the amount of golden ounces pulled out of that ground is staggering. £3 an ounce might have been a fortune then, but t the ridiculous prices seen lately the numbers are staggering.
  18. I would assign those to a labor supporter. So what's the point?
  19. Not Tom Hanks.
  20. Tom Hanks?
  21. Worlds richest celebrity.
  22. Last week
  23. The People going to PHON are NOT Labor. Most of your comments on Australian Politics make no sense to me. They don't seem to accord with what is happening HERE. Not that THAT is easy to find out. Murdock sees to that. Nev
  24. Sorry - you're right Though technically, it is still a foreign investment
  25. ? So, the ABC news article is BS and Albo (with Doofus) didn't set up the NACC? If you're trying to say this is an "I told you so moment", yeah it could be construed as such. If you think I feel good about it, you're quite mistaken. If you're willing to ignore the little fella having enough of grift, then don't be surprised they do a protest vote..
  26. Driest start to the year since 2009 in Melbourne with some gauges not recording 1 mm since mid November.

  28. Water? That could totally spoil the Todd River Regatta!
