TPPA from a USA perspective

Byron from Hikurangi Coastal

It's thought that President Obama has to start moving the TPPA through by about 18 November, if he wants it done in his term. If he's unsuccessful in his 'lame duck' period, Mrs Clinton won't want to go back on her word and do it. At the very least the Grand Old Party looks… View moreIt's thought that President Obama has to start moving the TPPA through by about 18 November, if he wants it done in his term. If he's unsuccessful in his 'lame duck' period, Mrs Clinton won't want to go back on her word and do it. At the very least the Grand Old Party looks set to continue the same stonewall tactics as before, so she will be too busy to do anything with it for a couple of years. At which time it will be modified and renamed.

So, for anyone feeling withdrawl symptoms comming on, about this possible two year hiatus, there is the  TTIP ttip-leaks.org...

- Passenger airbag

- Towbar

This has been a really versatile and extremely reliable vehicle.

As you can see the back seats fold down to give you heaps of space if you have a lot of shopping to fit in, as well as the privacy screen for the boot so no one can see what you have bought.

Great vehicle for towing a boat/trailer/caravan and super comfortable for long trips.

The Wizard has always been regularly serviced and just had 4 new tyres put on with a full sized spare as well.
Awesome JVC stereo, Aux, USB and bluetooth with a pretty jazzy display that can be changed. 50w of great sounds.

Price: $5,900
