We’d like to wish all or readers a safe and happy festive season. We’ve been forced into an earlier break than we’d like due to a tradesman accidentally cutting the phone line at AUSmotive HQ. It’s due to be fixed today, but like many of you we’ll be hitting the road later today on our way to spend Christmas with family.

A reminder to stay safe and to bring a calm and sharing attitude to the roads. Don’t forget it’s a double demerit period as well.

We’ll also be taking some time off until the second week in January and so any updates during that time are likely to be sporadic.

Wishing you all the best and thanks for your readership throughout the year.
