Auto Action shuts shop
Rumour has it that Auto Action will wind down activities in Oakliegh and close the doors in the near future.I am unsure as to the happenings with the staff but it will be all over in a short while.
PS they are moving to sydney the absolute mecca for Australian Motorsport from the late 60's to early 70's |

I presume this is because ACP is headquartered in Sydney??
Given that most of their news comes from here on on conrod, are they shifting camp next to one or other of the servers to get closer to the action??? |

Mr believer,
I have never ready a more vile innacurate generalisation of australian 4 cylinder culture in my life. Your potrayal of the readers of fast fours etc. as daewoo driving rich kids with no taste from mediteranean countries with an average command of the english language is way off base.... ........we drive Lancers and Hyundai's! maaate! |

If the staff are being shafted in the move, what will be left of the literary masterpiece that is Auto Fiction if it moves to god-awful Sydney?

The government blue paint didn't match his sickly lime green.

Auto Action aren't shutting up shop as far as I know, I applied for a job with them last month down here in Melbourne so I would be very suprised if they shut up shop when they are still employing people.

I was told last night by a senior staffer at AA that they are definitely moving. Not sure if its a recent decision or not

Might be of little consequence anyway, considering most people communicate by phone and email these days.

It would be of some consequences to the displaced employees who wont have a job unless they relocate to Sydney... thats a big consequence in their personal worlds

Didn't seem to be of great consequence to Motor and 4x4 staff when they had to migrate to Sydney.
