Well my day just got interesting, my yardie (bloke that cleans cars and shit) was driving me to our other yard to pick up a car and he ran up the arse of a lady that i think was Indian driving a little Corolla.. she stopped in the middle of the road when there was nothing coming and the bull bar off our BT-50 did work of her rear bumper. My yardies up for a $500 excess and more than likely lost his job.

Hektik!

Well that's an interesting turn of events. Probably won't lose his job for a once off, would he?

Yep haha, yeah well my boss has been talking to me about wanting to f*ck him off because he's not doing things right anyway so i reckon this is the last straw. I reckon he'll have to wait a few weeks though or else it can be a fair work issue if my yardie tried to do anything about it.

He's a bit of a loser, wouldn't be suprised if he wasn't here tomorrow.

Damn you need to come up here, it's nearly 30 degrees by 8am i'm sick of it!

Major problem, its too expensive to get to the snow from there i <3 snow

also i dont think theres too many software dev jobs in Mackay!

High Vis is where it's at in QLD...

Used to bag a mate that QLD is the land of Hi Ves and Low IQ

Snowboarding > Most things

Absolutely love it.

Pity all the mining companies don't pay their office staff anything like the 'hands on' people and engineers.

They pay their office staff ridiculously well... Depends on the job thought. Internal accountants are circa $100k.

I know a head environmental officer out in the mines that makes close to $170k a year and i can't imagine she does a hell of a lot of "hard work"

about time it all evened out anyway - sick of seeing people who i know dropped out of school and are as thick of 5 bags of sh*t earning 150k and buying Range Rovers just for shuffling around in the dust at a mine site, while i worked my @ss off at school so i could spend 5 years at uni and have a massive HECS debt and a long climb up the corporate ladder ahead of me........<RANT>

+1 to all of this!

I've spent the last 6 years studying and still have one more to go as well as 3 years full time work and im still not earning that good money.

Although relocation overseas is now looking like my best bet :/

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
