How much does it cost you if you have to stay in hospital for a week, say with pneumonia via an ambulance?

Nice looking car, Red. Have you got the performance strips running along the sides, or is it just an trick of the light?

While we do have free access to public hospital, we do pay a medicare levy, and GST, and 48% top marginal income tax rate. If you include petrol tax, all the state taxes and stamp duties, I think for most of us, more than 50% of our income goes to taxes. And don't get me started on why our car costs more than twice of what it costs in US.

Is the government immune from class actions from the discrimination act? LCT is the most unfair tax - it is car discrimination...

I am going to vote for whichever party that takes out the LCT, and I am happy with it replaced by a carbon tax on cars like the UK - effective or not, at least that has a purpose apart from just revenue raising.

Yep, and when you crash you know where to go as well, just make sure you don't get shot while driving.

So whats the verdict on the best tint?

Are you happy with the Octane tint Angus?

SR32 · 09-29-2011, 01:41 AM

Mate - I also have the Octane and it looks immaculate and doesn't affect the range of our remotes. (I had another film on my car - Sungard Eclipse and had it peeled off and replaced with Octane by Tint a car.

I think it looks great against the white duco....

BMW86 · 09-29-2011, 01:44 AM

How does it stack up to Formula One tint?

Agreed. I love it. I think it's the best tint I've ever had.... There's no tinge of colour (either brown or blue) like so many others. It doesn't adversely affect night visibility. It's nearly impossible to see into it during the day... and the quality seems top notch to me...

I also have not experienced any negative impact on remote range...

Had the Formula One tint on my last car . Would. Not. Go. Back.

BMW86 · 09-29-2011, 03:03 AM

Thanks for the advice guys. Looks like Octane it is.
