  1. Gday folks, just wanted to come back and say hello now I have myself a little car here in Melbourne after just over a year being away. Took that long to swallow my pride and get over the hugely inflated price tags for cars here. Cheapest Z on carsales.com.au is $18,000 and a 2003 base model with 200k kms on the clock. Haven't really had the need for car as I live and work in the city and transport around zone 1 is pretty easy but my want has now outweighed the need, some fantastic places in regional Victoria that the train just doesnt do justice too. Bought a 2002 Alfa 147 2.0 (would've loved the GTA but the insurance quotes were absolutely insane and none would recognise my 8 years UK NCB, which is fair enough). Service history is spot on, very impressed with how it drives and the interior makes my 350Z look like an old folks home. Hope everyone is well!
  2. Wouldn't the Zed fit in one of your boats??
  3. Just arrived home from the GP, what a day out! Simple Minds in concert to round it all off! Well done Jenson
  4. Somewhere between Edinburgh and Perth, I gave a honk of the horn as I unleashed all 1200cc in the Polo! Silver 5 door Polo, probably wondered who the idiot was. Days racing?

    Snowboard Gear

    Its for a year initially, with the hope of extending that if it all works out. Got a 5 week holiday round SE Asia then Sydney - Melbourne in Feb. Dont have a job sorted, just going to hit it hard over there. Got a healthy amount of Microsoft specific certifications on the old cv, a good enough degree, a cheeky smile and a wink!!

    Yup put a post up a while ago, and it was the reason for selling the Z. Haven't been on much recently cos in all honest I'm finding it VERY tough pottering around in a 1.2 Polo and reading about the 350!

    Snowboard Gear

    Folks, with the move to Australia just three months away I've started clearing out things in the flat that will def not be coming with. Have some snowboard gear that has only seen four days use. The specs for the board are that of something twice its price new, so its a bargain for someone. Been boarding myself for 12 years and I'll buy one of these again if i return from Oz, would just rather have the cash just now for sunblock and Castlemaine XXXX Atomic Hatchet 159cm http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130336349242&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Atomic Zombie Bindings http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130336350665&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Vans boots size 9 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130336351567&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Smiths goggles http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130336352115&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
  8. Yeah planning to. Too much hassle and still not the right market to sell. Had the solicitors round already and they're confident it'll rent out no worries.
  9. Decided to take the plunge. Flights booked, 7th January to Singapore, month based there to see Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and hopefully Hong Kong then down to Sydney........ Visa applied for, just the year working holiday but hopefully get some good IT work and never have to return to the UK!
  10. Dunno if I've missed this before, but why do you put random stuff in bold and caps like a tabloid newspaper article? Its not a dig, just always wondered.
  11. G'day folks, So I sold me car almost 3 weeks ago now and the money hasn't been put towards new metal yet. As each day passes I get increasingly frustrated living in this country if i'm honest and since graduating from uni 5 years ago and missing out on the opportunity to join a few mates that did the whole travel thing (one is now permanent resident in Perth, Aus) I still can't shake the feeling that I've missed out. Worked 6 months in Angola that really opened my eyes my working abroad Just wondering if anyone on here has been out that way, how they got on finding work (already spoken to a couple agencies that have 'promised' work but cant always take them seriously). Flights are sorted as i've still got 100k airmiles not used and the visa option i was gonna take was the 1 year travel working visa. Any advice/experience is welcome.

  13. Fancy having a nosey at a car for me? Aberdeen is a long way to travel, would appreciate a good pair of eyes cast over it first before deciding anything.
