I'm honestly shocked.  How did they justify it - unless it was a Rolls or a Lambo?

Parramatta is about 30 minutes drive from Padstow in normal traffic. I am sure the extra fuel will be worth it. Trust me!

They wan't $50 just to supply a single wiper for my wifes land rover, one of the wipers was shot but i thought i would get 2 and change both but when the stealer told me $100 just to supply , i was going to fit them , i decided the good one can stay and i got 1 , the problem is they are a special type and you can only get them from the stealers.
