And at this rate we probably won't have any front line Police staff anyway, so we won't need Police cars

BULLSHIT.

Go look at what compulsory insurance costs you elsewhere in the world. That crap about 18 year olds financed to the eyeballs in fast cars is rubbish too, for starters you can't finance a car without insurance on the car so they already get insurance. Not to mention even if it was ...

Replacing slip rings is a PITA job so will probably carry a high price tag at most places.

Plus you want to make sure that it's done right, especially if you spend much time at high rpms.

There really is almost no point buying a new car unless you want the options spec'd 'exactly' to your preference. One of the old man's employees bought himself a Holden R8 brand new for around $90,000 in 2007, next year it was $65,000 and now they're $35,000-40,000. That's not successful, that was ...
