Why are Australian prices so much higher even provisions for exchange rates?

here's a question - am I the only one that gets freaked out when cars with xenon lights drive towards you? I find it quite disorientating, not unlike being under a strobe light. a hell of a lot of fun but not when you are driving towards it

I understand what you mean - I occasionally get startled by an oncoming set of xenons.

However, as the driver of a car with them, I know that I may startle the odd driver but at least I've woken them up and they've seen me! Always harder to hit something if you know it's there.

Haven't read all the thread but we over the shaky isles are still a wee shade better off than Aus. On road is about 2-3k less in our peso's than aus, then deduct 10% for exchange rate and it's looking pretty good.

Only one spec and that's "cow enchanced" or "handicappped" depending on your preference!!

Personally I likee the "mans washbag" look to quote Topgear! And the bulk of the extra weight is not the electric seat or Bose Subbie....it's me!!
