Aussie dollar
With the Aussie dollar sliding is this the end of the good times? I am so use to buying stuff at 90 something per dollar.

As bad as it is for importing, its actually good news for Australia.
The Aussie $ ideally should be around .70 cents.

I suspect so Dave. I have lucked out twice - once when buying tyres (tires!) and wheels and again later with motor mods. Both times at 94-97 cents/US$. We will need to look locally - or in New Zealand?

Actually Dave, I was thinking that the UK could be better now with the old pound also taking a battering?

I was thinking about this the other day. It depends where your money is. I am expecting that rate rises will slow down now. My mortgage has been going up a few hundred a month. So if i consider that money saved then the dollar isnt so bad.
Mind you i think the election result and its effect on the dollar will be something to watch due to confidence by foreign investors. |

Yes the UK is my next target. I'm thinking of getting an Ultima so it might be a good time.  Every cloud has a silver lining.

70 cents Oh well it's good bye to the US and hello UK.
I'm glad I got my FFR Coupe and a shed load from the States while it lasted.

There is still time to get the old exchange rate if you buy in stock items at performance warehouses. I bought my cratey today and still got $700 off the old price and the old price others had on the same (ford racing) engine. You'd have to be quick though. |

Hopefully it works out. SOmetimes you can get caught out when the dollar bounces.
Happened to us in '90 when it dipped under 50c.
