Default Aussie Dollar Vs Yankie Dollar

I see the Aussie dollar is almost up to 0.87 compared to the USA currency how good is this for anyone thinking of buying old yank iron. Although Holden might be up the sh#t when it comes to their exporting.. I was looking to buy some bits for mustang looks like now is a great time..

Nooooooooooooooooo.
It can drop all it likes after November when I'll be in the States with the wife for 9 days. I want this good Aussie dollar until we get back because it's going to cost us less.
Now all I need is for the Aussie dollar to become better against the Euro for the first 3 weeks of our trip!
