Aus Savage Brochure (Read 162 times)

Jasbee YaBB Newbies Offline One pot does it Posts: 37 Canberra, Australia Gender:	Aus Savage Brochure 03/22/16 at 15:55:07 Attached is the original Savage brochure as issued in Australia in 1986 and 1987. What were they thinking? Of interest is the price: 5953 AUD in 1987, compared with 7050 AUD when I bought mine 28 years later in 2015. Allowing for inflation, the 1987 price is equivalent to about 14000 AUD in 2015.

Re: Aus Savage Brochure Reply #2 - 03/22/16 at 16:31:03 When I'm chuffed, I reach for http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Monkey-Powder-Anti-Friction-Sweat-Absorber/dp/B000... Stuff sure is expensive down there. I daggum near tried to move there in the late seventies. Picking and shoveling in Coober Pedy sounded exciting...

That would help understand the difference between the economies. If that's a burger flipping job, I might be heading south.

Re: Aus Savage Brochure Reply #9 - 03/23/16 at 08:02:12 Of the three headlights in the picture, the one on the left appears slightly asymmetrical. Looks like it is slightly flattened across the bottom,while the other two, as I try to compensate for the limited view, appear nicely and evenly shaped.
