While sorting through my NYE photos, I found some from Guitar Wolf's (very weird and not as enjoyable as I'd thought) appearance at Amplifier in early November.  With Mach Pelican in support.  I didn't think I had any photos at all that turned out, but there a couple of good ones thank god!

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Mach Pelican too. The Dee Dee Dumbs and Mink Muscle Creek (which are both promising local bands) are supporting so that should make for a good night.

Hello! Your lovely partner suggested you might know a bit about importing cars? I'm considering buying a car in Greece, its actually still under Australian rego and can be returned as Australian goods as it has been in Greece less than 12mths (its being sold because its right hand drive and they are left hand drive over there & it is going to cost the aussie owner too much to convert it to left hand drive). I'm just a bit nervous about how payment is organised etc...i want to make the contract subject to the vehicle: passing an rac vehicle inspection & getting through WA pits and having no finance oweing on it. Got any advice for me?

Hey! When Rhianna mentioned you were looking to import a vehicle, I though "no problems, I ask one of the few friends who have been through this before". But your situation is a little bit different as your not importing an "import" as such.

I think the best place to start would be the Australian customs. They are the people that you'll pay the fees too when it arrives in the country and the people who will actually let it stay in the country (if you don't have the right paperwork etc they could force you to re-export or destroy the car). http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=4371 is a good place to start your reading.

You should also read up on the DPI Website as you'll have to license the car. If it's been registered in Australia before and it's not rusted or damaged I shouldn't see that being a problem. You'll need a temporary permit to drive the car to the licensing centre organised (see http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/licensing/myvehicle/1383.asp).

With regards to the vehicle inspection and payment I see that customs suggest maybe using a customs broker or someone else with experience in importing motor vehicles and other goods. Would it be possible to get a vehicle inspection done in Greece? Otherwise what are you going to do if you if you get it in the country and it fails the inspection? One of my friends told me he had a friend who imported a Skyline and it was severly rusted when it arrived and customs refused entry for it.

If the car has been owned and registered in Australia, a service like REVS should help check if there was finanace on it previously (https://bizline.docep.wa.gov.au/revs/static/dsp_what_is_registered.cfm#2).

Since you're considering importing this car I take it must be something special and worth taking the time and expense to getting it back in the country.
