Depending on the sale of the 2003 HiLux of mine and my old XG it will either be savings for rainy's or mods for Ute

If I'm lucky I'll get a tall boy. I would have bought a rum but I have paid enough tax this year without forking out for a stupid excise as well.

Depends how big it is. Im guessing it'll be around $700. And thats the cost of the alarm I want for the XR8. But that may change and go towards the '66 XR. Thinking which car to do first is doing my head in!!

So maybe one day the government and I can say that we're square, they dont pay me, I dont pay them, except for the fat chunk they take off me each week before I see it. Anyway, to those that get something back, go silly and spend it on something fun
Obviously wasn't an accounting degree!

Get them to take out extra tax each fortnight to cover HECS. Means you won't be slugged with a giant bill at the end of the FY.

I should get somewhere between $2,000 and $2,500 back.
Going to get a blutooth ear piece thing, pay off a $500 credit card debt and buy one or two pairs of pants. The rest will go into the bank.

i mentioned at the start that i would put my return into a Hilux.
now im thinking of ditching the BA and getting a BF XR8 instead of a hilux (or still get a hilux if im lucky).
ive came to realise that i dont just want the sound of a V8 with me when i drive - i NEED the sound of a V8 with me when i drive.

Getting roughly $1k back, that will go into springs, shocks and camber, will almost cover it.

Doesn't go far!
