Google wont give me a value on a nut.

I would not have thought they would be as expensive as this car.

Good point, but

Value (beauty??) is in the eye of the beholder

(surely this is way off thread )

SAME here... until:

The Kirkham website has the base price listed at $80k usd.

I went through and ticked some basic tasteful options (Not ALL the options by any means), but did include engine and drive line for sake of comparison.

That quickly added another $80k usd +/-

That make $160usd @ .90cent AUD that's $178k AUD +/-

Shipping and taxes - You do the math... we are quickly closing in on the 1/4 mil asking price.


Just sayin'

Don't forget LCT of 33% on vehicles over 60k in value.

What if a Kirkham was disassembled in the States and the parts packed into a couple of different containers and imported as car parts over time. Is this a grey area or strictly illegal?

A very knowledgeable gentleman once told another not so knowledgeable gentleman to do this so he did and arguably saved a bit of money. Then the second gentleman got a bit jack of the first gentleman asking for payment for works done on said vehicle and decided to go it alone. I believe the two said gentlemen are still discussing whteher this will be settled with pistols at 40 PACEs or a handshake. Said vehicle is , I believe, still awaiting compliance based on engine choice?

Or ... they could go back to mediaeval times and have a joust, on horseback, clad in chain mail fashioned from some exotic ALLOY, and conducted before the knights and fair damsels of CAMMERlot.

Or even, now that the gauntlets have been cast down, they could have an arm wrestle across a round table and have King Arthur (now commonly known as Sir Wazza) proclaim the victor.

Then the cheering loyal subjects, (now commonly known as the Qld Cobra Club) will journey to their fair land of Red Rock, wherein they will partake of copious amounts of piss (now commonly known as XXXX Gold), and PeACE will once more reign upon the land.

Blue has always been my favourite colour, but not in this particular (or should that be testicular?) market...
