EVs are just new age rotaries - this is a little diversion into the grand daddies of motors that spin

Excellent. Over the years I have resisted the urge to buy anything with a rotary engine though I was close to closing a deal on a Fokker Dr.1. The urge was not strong and easily countered by any blade of grass growing.They come out the back of the magic spinny things.

greens and independents have come to an agreement with labour to make EV's FBT exempt. sticking point was the inclusion of plug in hybrids which will also be exempt with a 3 year term. Also agreement to move government fleets onto EV's where possible with a goal of creating a solid 2nd hand market in 3 years time. Good time to jump on if self employed or can get a novated lease.

I'm not sure I like FBT exemptions on anything. If I want to buy something I have to do it with earnings I paid tax on.
Fuck off the gst too.
I saw a white or perhaps silver C-111 at Beauleigh Motor museum back in the 90s. It was the wankel but I recall a note suggesting a V12 version was also proposed? It was pretty but other exhibits were more interesting to me. Back then individual owners and car companies would put vehicles on display for a period of time. One trip (have done a few) there was a great collection of early F1 cars, Bond cars etc. Worth putting on a list of things to do, like Farnborough or Biggen Hill air shows and so on.

It may have been the best wankle car ever built but this is the best wankle engine ever built

At least it's better than a Ford Pinto!Where are all the Facebook comments calling for the banning of these dangerous contraptions? The have been 54 recorded fires of just this one engine! How are our fire departments going to cope with all these fires? It's an outrage!!!
