Fingers crossed it keeps going down some more.
Imports go down
Exports go up
Manufacturing goes up
Jobs go up
It's not all about shiny new bits on our VW's.

good thing I spent $300 on a few parts a couple of weeks back (about $150 was postage but still good deal)
Looks like I'll be slowing down my spending at CIP1 for a while!..😂😂
Still, remember when it was at 58 cents!! 🤪

Amen!
There is a plus side to the dollar being so good lately, the whole new interior we just purchased for the Oval was incredible.
But Nikos is right, it all has a pendulum effet, and what goes up must come down also.

You are correct of course Ash..
but seeing We have no control over the fluctuating dollar
We can still watch it... just for fun .. lol
a lower Aussie dollar is much better for Australia in regards to Exports and the interest rates that are killing many home buyers may even drop if the dollar stays down...
Only parts I'm buying from the USA are ones I cannot find in Australia or the quality I want in Australia...
airheadparts.com is quite interesting... relating to reproduction parts or German parts or Mexican parts etc..
The German or OE parts can be 2-3 times the price of reproduction or Mexican parts...
cheers

It certainly pays to shop around ... I would love to spend money here if the parts were available ...such is the life of a fan of a non-Australian delivered vehicle .... go hard or go home!

Dollar back up to 98c today...
I read today where two money experts predicted the Aussie Dollar would -
1. Go down to about 80 cents..
2. Go back UP... to $1-10

Lee, if the Aussie dollar goes down to 80c, maybe you should race out and buy some?😁
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
