FOR SALE: Blue Monster - Cisco's Micra Files

cisco » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sat 22 Jul 2006 10:31:07 PM
	Yeah guys, seriously this time. The time has come. Full details of the car and all its modifications here: http://www.micra.com.au/blue-monster.php If you follow the micra scene you will know everything has been done perfectly and properly on this car. Nothing is cheap, nothing is a hack job, its all the best gear, serviced religiously, absolutely well looked after. Its a really unique car. Super Power, Super Brakes, Super Handling, Super practical and convenient cargo area. Immaculate interior, immaculate exterior (paint was fully resprayed about 3 years ago). I have kept a full service history of everything done and all maintenance since I've owned the car (approx 3 years). I want it to go to a very good home and for someone to get a lot of enjoyment out of it. The car is running perfectly and no money needs to be spent on anything. Its driving so superbly now, I just love it. I am selling due to other commitments and just want it to go to a good home and give someone some serious enjoyment. This is such a high performance street car that you could race it with a CAMS license and kick arse if you wanted to - and if you don't want to race, then its a smooth, practical FAST street car. It is virtually unstoppable on the street against most cars including most modified cars! The car is fully legally engineered and street legal. Its currently registered in the ACT. I have HEAPS of receipts for most of the work done on the car. I am open to offers via email. Please click on my name and send me a message if you are interested.

	Come on Cisco not again?? Please explain?? What are you going to replace it with that you will no as good as the Micra,And you no you will replace it. For the money you will get it is better of parked up or stored somewhere,not sold of for a fraction and i mean a tiny amount of money blood sweat and tears.

	Hehe yep, its really definitely for sale now. I'll always love the car. I've really been thinking about this for the past 3 months.

	cries cisco is growing up. tsk tsk. Sad day for the dark side. Ooh ooh is there a little one on the way or something? marriage? :D

cisco » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sat 22 Jul 2006 11:55:00 PM
	Nah no babies at this stage.. Marriage? Gee must be getting close, but I am waiting for the girl to propose to the guy, isn't that the way it works? Come on Tony, make me an offer and drive away in blue monster.

Micra_King » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 23 Jul 2006 12:06:26 AM
	So will the new owner of the car also take ownership of the site :)

	Hehe nah.. I definitely won't be going anyway in terms of the site.

	It might help to put up a breakdown of whats been spent on the car so you don't get any dreamers.. But I can tell everyone that over $40,000 has been spent on it What will the new ride be? I'm thinking that you'd like either an EVO VII or an EVO VIII am I not right? Sean

cisco » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 23 Jul 2006 10:38:48 AM
	Hmm yes breakdown of costs would be a good idea. I'll write up a better post later today then. Mate, I'm just going to stick with the Fairmont for the short term as we only need one car. But sometime down the track (2 years or so), then anything's possible. Yes I love those EVOs Seano! But going to wait a bit.

	I'm guessing "other commitments" = new mortgage?

cisco » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 23 Jul 2006 04:16:14 PM
	Nah, the mortgage is not changing by much because of the move.. I guess that's a bad way of describing it, its more "changing interests" or something. I'm going to get a fully sick 9Kg carbon fibre mountain bike again and do a lot more cycling. The main thing really is that the car is just sitting there most of the time, all week long I don't drive it, and I drive it once or twice on weekends. I've just evolved and aren't as interested as I used to be. But despite this, I still love the car. I would just rather see it being used and rather have the money for it if I'm not driving it much. Yay welcome home aaron. You'll have to tell me all about the trip and photos! I took some engine and interior pics, will post them up in a sec.

	I know your after offers via pm but a ball park figure would be good.

Tony » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 23 Jul 2006 07:39:46 PM
	I think at a guess,Probably around 14-18 Grand. It's a very hard car to price,We all no it's the best in the country and one of the best in the world, I would like to buy it but am a little to far into my own project. I new this was around the corner when you picked up that falcon,Is was just a matter of time. Good luck will the sale Cisco,Even though i think you'll have big regret's later on.

Sean » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 23 Jul 2006 09:17:50 PM
	I'd say $20,000 is probably the scrape-the-bottom-of-the-barrel minimum offer that he'll consider. Hell I wouldn't even sell the car for that price, you'd have to remove the wheels etc... But thats just my opinion, such is the quality of this car. Its in a whole different league to all the other Micra's (forced or not) in Australia If I could justify a loan that sizable at my age I'd pick it up tomorrow. Good luck cisco, from experience though: Don't let it go ASAP for a ridiculous price. Hang around and you'll get what you want for it. Sean

cisco » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 23 Jul 2006 09:20:24 PM
	Yeah look 14 isn't even in the running - I would not give it away for that. I love the car and am still happy to keep and enjoy it until the right offer comes along. But what I have seen to happen in the past is that potential buyers think about it for a while, but then a time will come when multiple people decide they want it, then you get multiple offers and sometimes they want to pay more than the other buyer just to get it. That's exactly what happened when I bought blue monster off the previous owner. I said I didn't want the car for about 2 months because I had already started my own turbo project. Then I decided it would be heaps smarter and cheaper to get a massive headstart and big saving by buying the blue monster, but then this other dodgy guy was about to buy it and I realised there were no other cars the same, so if I didn't get it, it was going to cost me thousands more to do it all myself! So I offered a bit more than the other buyer and got it - only because he was also stuffing the seller around a fair bit too. Phew..

Toma » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Mon 24 Jul 2006 11:13:09 AM
	Completely off-topic, but what car are you going to get after the Monster to get around in? Obviously the Fairlane is too much of a goliath to nip down the shops in..

Brendon » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Mon 24 Jul 2006 01:18:20 PM
	ohhh . finally decided to get part with it. yes bit sad coz so much time spent on it. but you'll prob eventually come back with somethong bigger better faster smarter. if thats possible. hope it goes to a good home.

Toma » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Mon 24 Jul 2006 03:11:34 PM
	Somone buy it and start their own Uber-Fast washing machine delivery service!!! :D

cisco » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Mon 24 Jul 2006 05:54:29 PM
	Yeah sad because of all the time/blood/sweat/tears guys, but I have no regrets because the car (and my other 3 micras) taught me so much about mechanical/car related things its not funny. Before I had the second micra, I could only basically do oil changes and that was it. These cars have taken me through lots of phases of more and more difficult and interesting modification work. I've really enjoyed it. Learnt a heap, I consider it my home-DIY course in being a basic mechanic. So its money well spent when you learn things and have enjoyed it. No regrets. The cough fairmont is just great at the moment. Its just big and comfortable and like a stupid yank tank. It skids out easily in the wet, but then the traction control kicks in haha. Yay fat gadgets. I'll get my cravings back soon enough, but I will be waiting about 2 years, and then I'll try something different perhaps like an EVO-VIII or similar. For all you guys venturing into your own turbo projects, make sure you sit down and really do the sums of what its going to cost you if you do everything yourself, versus paying the upfront straight away for blue monster but then not having anything more to pay full stop. It can save you $20,000 in reality if you plan to build something as serious as blue monster doing it all yourself. There is so much stuffing around going to and from workshops for custom items that it is absolutely worth picking it up all completed in one healthy, proven, reliable package.

Tony » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Mon 24 Jul 2006 07:09:51 PM
	Your so right Cisco,About the cost of turboing! I have spent about 14 500 so far,And thats without any suspension,bigger brakes,or bottom end strengthening and i'm sure there's heaps more i missed. My car is no where near as tidy inside,and i don't have a new paint job. Like i said if i hadn't gone so far into my own project i would consider buy the Monster. Good luck getting what your after,And lot's of happy motoring to the new owner.

White Knight » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Mon 24 Jul 2006 08:02:49 PM
	Shite I was so lucky to run into Laurie at Rototech who did so much of the work for love and built most of the custom bits himself plus being a mechanic guru.From go to whoa I have obtained a little rocket for under $20k.

White Knight » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Mon 24 Jul 2006 08:05:53 PM
	Someone buy it please. Its unique and deserves an owner who will love and cherish it.

	Right now, the car is UNDER OFFER. I've accepted an official offer pending the transferring of funds. Its not officially SOLD until actual cash/deposit has been received. There are 5 seriously interested parties at this stage.

	Jeez... If you don't mind me asking, is it staying in Canberra let alone Australia if the payment comes through? Mate, when it comes to selling things you don't screw around! Well done I'm 115% sure that the new owner will cr@p themselves when they hit boost and spin 2nd in the dry... :) God I'll miss this car! Sean

Yom » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Fri 28 Jul 2006 09:01:34 AM
	Yeh buts lets say you were selling your car and I offered you $8,000 it and mentioned that I could get an AUs3 Fairmont Ghia on GAS for $10,000 implying that my offer was good because your car is bad value for money. I think you might be a little bit offended - I know I would be. Anyway better move along before this morphs into something which doesn't smell very nice.

evade » CMF Member Melbourne Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Fri 28 Jul 2006 10:07:59 AM
	haha dont worry i got your point..i was just adding as a side note

Gareth » CMF Member Blue Mountains Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Fri 28 Jul 2006 12:02:38 PM
	Wow, I am a little bit stunned to read this. But hey, Cisco, you have to do whats best for you and your family:). Although in my opinion, even if you recovered all the money, you will never replace the sentimental value:) I think that is why I will never sell mine (although the thought has crossed my mind a few times). Just one thing though. If you buy another car, please don't get another Micra:) It truely is an awesome car, and an inspiration to every one who owns a turbo Micra, and probably those who don't (yet). Who ever buys it had better look after it, or they will have 1500+ people to answer too:) Cheers mate.

White Knight » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Fri 28 Jul 2006 06:31:27 PM
	Yeah spot on Gareth. Whoever buys it had better look after it otherwise the force will not be kind to them but I am sure the new owner will be a regular site member who knows what they are getting.

James MSC » CMF Member Near S. London United Kingdom Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Fri 28 Jul 2006 06:32:09 PM
	Wow up for sale and sold in 6 days, you certainly don't hang around cisco!! Such a shame to see you're selling/sold it :( Although I have a claim to fame now, I share the same headunit as the blue monster :D :D http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=128465199&context=set-72057594106951772&size=l

cisco » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Fri 28 Jul 2006 07:14:49 PM
	Thanks guys. Well full deposit received. Buyer coming to collect on Sunday, and the official hand-over and deal will take place. So pretty much SOLD guys, just not quite completed yet. I can't reveal the secret new owner, but maybe they will come out of the woodwork sometime not too far away. Or maybe they won't! The car isn't going toooooo far away anyway, put it that way. I have given the new owner the advice to use low boost until that feels slow, and then start practising on high boost hahaha. You get the power shakes with the foot to the floor on high boost you know! The POWER SHAKES!!! Have a good weekend.

Tony » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Fri 28 Jul 2006 07:20:03 PM
	Double post CooL! Good onya mate glad it's all worked out for you. Make shore your not a stranger once the cars gone.

Yom » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Fri 28 Jul 2006 07:22:30 PM
	I must say congrats cisco. Its hard selling a car at the moment, especially a modified example. yet somehow you did it in record time. Shame you never got it out to a track day to. Would have been great being able to stretch its legs properly and give a few other other 'faster' cars a real asswhooping. Too far away? New owner live in QLD by any chance...? That'll be no good if they do because I'll have to find different wheels to buy later this year LOL.

White Knight » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Fri 28 Jul 2006 09:17:08 PM

White Knight » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sat 29 Jul 2006 08:50:48 PM
	Maybe I am..I am looking at going down the N/A path. I would love to go down this path. I have a spare motor complete plus gearbox and between me and Errol I am sure we could build a screamer and shove it into a Micra.Pick up hopefully a Super S pretty cheap and give it a transplant.No way could I sell Hack ( read divorce). I cannot afford 3 Micras so if I went down this path Whitey would have to go. I am sure a non forced Micra taken to near the max would be a real killer.Mega revs,high compression with a completly re worked head,bottom end made bullet proof, high lift cams, fully blue printed motor, lightweight flywheel, etc. Ahh sounds like my old Cooper S days.Maybe bore it out a tad also.List is endless. Am I mad??

Yom » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sat 29 Jul 2006 10:35:07 PM
	Slightly nutty, yes. Slight case of alzheimer's, yes. Mad? Not from my screen! Depends on how much you'd sell the stump puller for I guess. Plus you have to find a decent super s first.

Nissanmania » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 02:39:43 AM
	Hey White Knight - I should be able to test the results of your N/A plan hopefully very soon.....

White Knight » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 10:03:31 AM
	Yeah thats the problem. Once yours is up and firing it will get the blood flowing. How far off is it? Must be getting close.

cisco » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 05:36:46 PM
	Ok I don't own any micras any more. Blue Monster has just been driven away by the new owner. The car is officially SOLD. Congrats to the new owner and many happy hours of powerful motoring. Engine brand new, suspension brand new, brakes brand new, its got a lot of life left in it. Sad to see it go, but its a chapter I've seen to the end and the time is right for me to close that chapter off. Its been great! And I am keeping the site going and will still be on here to just be a general non-micra owning commentator head, kinda like Yom before he bought his micra. Hahahaha. Sorry Yom.

White Knight » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 05:51:05 PM

Tony » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 06:08:24 PM
	Is the new owner atleast someone on the forum we no??

	White Knight WROTE: " The suspense is killing us all." Actually it is providing a form of subtle amusement for me. Kinda like "are we there yet" but "who bought it... who bought it... who bought it.." etc cisco WROTE: " general non-micra owning commentator head, kinda like Yom before he bought his micra. Hahahaha. Sorry Yom." Haha yes. Everyone needs a commentator.

Tony » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 07:33:37 PM
	Blue Monster is a Brissy car,:YES" thats great news! Or crap,now i'm going to have to spend a shitload more cash to be quick. Congratulations Jammin you've got a very top car,Is it a secret what you payed?? Not trying to be rude or anything,Just wanting to no.

Sean » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 07:42:59 PM
	Congratulations on selling so soon cisco, although I must say I didn't expect it to be up for long before someone snapped it up. It is an absolute ROCKET for a bargain price. I know you'll spend the next few months or years regretting the sale.. If its anyone on the site please let us know, I'd be very interested to see who it was Sean

evade » CMF Member Melbourne Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 08:01:05 PM
	yes whats with the keeping the owner anonymous haha theres no point anymore

cisco » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 08:52:45 PM
	Yo yo. You will all be familiar with the new owner, once they announce. The new owner has been a site member for many years! Since the very early days.. The new owner came on a micra meet once also. But its for the new owner to announce, its their fun and their surprise! I'll just say no more, no big deal, but I just don't want to spoil anyone's fun if they want to announce it on here without me letting any cats out of the bag heheheh. Yeah apologies, I know its silly to suppress who bought it. You'll find out very soon and go "hmm whoa! cool!". I took him for a quick spin for about 20 minutes before he drove off. Gave a demo of the low/high boost button and the turbo timer. He has taken my detailed service history since owning the car, HEAPS of receipts and paperwork, engineer's cert, a massive large tub of spare parts and old factory parts, a micra sticker, an unopened Shell Helix Ultra 5W oil for next oil change, an oil filter for next oil change, a new set of spark plugs ready to go in any time.. Man, its like I packed my whole life in the car and it has all gone in one quick flash. But it really does suit me at the moment, no regrets at this stage, very happy and so is the new owner. It was kind of sad watching it drive off though, but I know he will have an absolute ball with it. How excitin for him though, only ever been in a turbo'd Lancer GSR a while ago, but never driven a turbocharged car. Imagine going from non-turbo everything straight into blue monster. It would be a real power rush. Hah! The price is the new owner's business. They can tell if they want to and I won't mind at all. I am happy with the price, I got a good amount for the car that I am pleased with, and the new owner got a plethora of parts/effort/quality all in one package for a lot less than it would cost to do yourself. Towards the end, I had about 5 people making serious enquiries and making ballpark offers. A lot of the offers were in a similar range, and I basically said if you can beat the offers by a bit, it will mean an instant sale, rather than me negotiating and weaving with all these similar offers and working out when people can and can't get down here to see the car. So the buyer was serious and matched my asking offer and came and collected. I put 12 months rego on the car as part of the deal, because it was about to run out in August, and you don't really want to get this kind of car and have to go straight through the pits straight away after not really being familiar with it or anything just yet.

	Look I am an old man with a weak heart. Please announce the new owner soon otherwise Whitey will come up for sale in my deceased estate.

	Announcing Blue Monster's replacement. The black and blue monster. Hopefully I won't turn black and blue by falling off it. Fitness is a new goal, I will have a lot more time on my hands now and am ultra keen to get seriously back into MTBing and rock up to some local XC races and put some pressure on the big guns. I am very very very unfit, but looking forward to the challenge of getting my fitness back to where it used to be. Actually, I had a health assessment through work recently and the instructor basically said "start doing something". I have been very slack for about 3 years now. Its a 2006 model Giant XTC Composite hardtail. Weighs about 10Kg in current form. About 6 months old and hardly ridden. Picked it up for about $2000 below the brand new price that he paid. The owner was a bike mechanic and upgraded a couple of things. I am going to replace a few parts and get the bike down to around a silly 9Kg. You'll be able to pick the whole thing up in one hand and lift it above your head it will be that light. Full carbon fibre frame, everything is ultra light. Carbon handle bar and seat post going on, lightest possible clipless pedals and see if I can find a lighter stem like a syncros titanium one or something. Should be able to scrap 0.5-1Kg in weight in replacing a few parts like that all at the same time. Also probably going to get a free-ride style dual suspension thing just for kicks, and with only one car, will make a neat little mountain bike workshop in the new garage with all the tools and work stands etc to do absolutely everything on the bikes from home. I'll have to remember all that stuff again and brush up on the latest developments, but really looking forward to it. This will probably be my last post about anything mechanical etc. As I don't have any micra related stuff any more. Allright, this is cisco signing off! But I'll still be around for a chat.

	Bah! Stacking it at high speed and breaking something is all part of the fun of riding a bike!!! :D But yeh looking at it from another perspective now you have a falcon, a mountain bike and no micras. Your mates have no reason to question your masculinity now. :P

Sean » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 10:01:00 PM
	How much/where did you get it from? I'm looking for one for summertime Sean

White Knight » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Sun 30 Jul 2006 10:03:14 PM
	Farewell Micra Cisco.Tis a sad day. Still Bluey will live on with I am sure another dedicated Micra nutter. Where are you going to install a turbo on that bike ?

	Quote "I put 12 months rego on the car as part of the deal" that would mean the buyer is someone from Canberra then! Otherwise the rego would be pointless.

	Good luck to the new owner. Nice bike cisco, i got a similar awakening about my fitness a few weeks back. Haven't really done anything since high school which was 4 years ago, currently umming and arrring about getting a bike, cause i'll need some way to carry it on the car, wont fit inside, Alex

	sorry to be so rude and forward to u cisco and especialy in this time of jus losing such a big part of your life... though maybe with some of this spare time u could think back on bluey and put together some sort of write up on how to turbo the micra? very sorry to ask but well, u know well all loved bluey n sorry but i dont think blue monster will be the same without cisco... nevermind vice versa! well all the best on the biking i know its alot of fun as i try to do some here in scotland too :) good luck mate

	Hello from sunny Surfers Paradise! (on holidays) Congrats on the sale, Cisco!

	It's time to end the speculation, I'm the new owner of the car. After many years of lusting after your turboed micras, I have finally decided to join the Dark Side. Driving it home from Canberra was like nothing I've experienced before - to have so much power at your disposal, it is very addictive. I don't have any plans for further modifications at the moment as pretty much everything has been replaced on the car, I'm just going to enjoy it. Cisco I promise to take care of her to the best of my ability and keep you and the members on the site informed about her progress.

Sean » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Tue 01 Aug 2006 07:24:57 AM
	I had a sneaking suspicion it was you Dome... Especially after Mighty :D Good luck mate! Sean

Yom » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Tue 01 Aug 2006 09:29:16 AM
	Haha I said to matty it could be that domedeli guy but he said "naaah couldn't be" haha I might just sms him to let him know I was right. :P

evade » CMF Member Melbourne Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Tue 01 Aug 2006 01:14:42 PM
	cool, good luck with it..does act engineering stuff carry over to NSW? with rego changing, etc etc?

White Knight » CMF Member Perth Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Tue 01 Aug 2006 06:02:52 PM
	Congrats Dome. You have yourself one hell of a car and you were one of the original site members.A fitting home for Bluey. Please keep us all updated on Bluey as it is very much part of this site and leads the way. Gee I do not think you will have much trouble shifting your Super S. Looks great. I fear Cisco has withdrawl symptoms already. That 1 manpower bike of his no match .

jamm'n » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Tue 01 Aug 2006 06:09:28 PM
	wow, thats a big WOW!!! I CAN'T imagin how amazing it would feel driving that car home and knowing that it was mine. What a blast that would have been. Well done Dome and congrats on the purchase of the monster. i so wish it was me lol

cisco » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: FOR SALE: Blue Monster	Tue 01 Aug 2006 06:37:33 PM
	The engineer's cert is written by an ACT engineer, but it actually addresses (or is directed towards) specific ADRs. Which probably all states refer to for ensuring safe vehicles. So if the NSW RTA refer to the same ADRs (almost certain), then it should still hold fine. But the best thing in NSW is that its such a much larger state, and there are a lot more possible ways to get your mate's mate to inspect it for you. Where as in the ACT, its such a geographically small state, they make you go only to the government pits for interstate transfers..

	gutted its gone Cisco, i was looking forward to giving you a run for your money on my way to Japan but noooo you had to sell up :p oh well i hope you buy some nice stuff, nothing soothes the pain of selling things like retail therapy lol, that bike looks like a nice one, i prefer trials bikes but a good cross country bike is great to have :D
