So, the planning (in earnest) begins….. We don’t leave the UK until 30th March 2015, but I’m sure it won’t take long for that date to come round.
Anyone here in Adelaide? We are going to set up home in Port Noarlunga.

How does car stuff work over in Australia?
I am resigned to the fact that I won’t be smoking around in Jaguars or BMW 7-series over there, as they just aren't available on the budget I will have.
I understand that fuel is one the few things that is cheaper in Australia – But do larger engine cars get penalised by higher tax (or equivalent)
How does the Australian version of an MOT work?

Also, for those of you that are in the Adelaide area – Is the Job market as dire as I am currently led to believe?

Thanks in Advance…..

Hi, Thanks for the replies.....

I have pretty much resigned myself to an AU series Falcon for the first couple of years - initial budget for a car is only going to be $5k (tops).
