    "The cheapest time of the week" for petrol? This concept is new and foreign to me.

    If the goddam fukn yanks got out of Arabia, And let the A-rabs mind there own business, oil would still be $44 a barrel Not a $160 like it is now. Someones got to stand up to the yanks and tell them to pull there fukn heads in. The poms won't they are like fukn sheep. The USSR is fucked. That only leaves the Chows. They are using heaps of gas so when they start charging to much at the pumps and have a revolution on there hands perhaps they will go in to the A-rab nations and do what the dopey fukn Yanks failed to do and kick some arse. So as to take control of the OPEC nations. And make sure price fixing is stopped once and for all. Also to make sure it is carried out whatever it takes.

    Please don't confuse the NZ simpletons... your 'compulsory third party' is 3rd party injury cover (our equivalent of ACC, which you correctly state is cheaper than yours), not compulsory 3rd party motor vehicle damage insurance, which has recently reared it's ugly head again, and is something I would hate to see introduced here.
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    what really pisses me off is that if i had an R1- which is a fuckn lot faster & more dangerous ( in crash stats)than my old shaft drive tourer is around $350 for CTP. Any M/C over 1000cc is Automatically charged a lot more than one under 1000. My good driving record does not affect it in the least.

    everytime someone mentions the cost rego over there fails to mention that it includes insurance........we have to pay insurance on top of it all, so it's more expensive again.........our rego is only about $100 cheaper but that doesn't include insurance.....which is another $400-$1300 respectively- hardly comparable

    Tough luck. We've got no choice but to pay it. So stop pissing around crying over the prices and go make a bloody time machine, travel back in time ten years ago, start a fuel station, and then be a rich bastard. That's what they all did.

    Just like primary school when I was a mediator.

    Shake hands, say sorry, and be friends. Or I'll make you two wear a dress.

    It DOES NOT INCLUDE 3rd PARTY VEHICLE INSURANCE.
