Nothing. You're off the grid. The absolute freedom and ability to do anything you've ever dreamed of is so infinite and full of potential for regret that you will ultimately end up falling into a daily routine of nothing because of your overwhelming choice.

yup. wake, tv/xbox, eat, tv/xbox, eat, sleep, repeat.

got something lined up mate? i know a joint where you can get manual work if you need anything to tide you over.

Yeah I'll have something soon. Just been trying for jobs I want rather than jobs I can get!

Got a screwed shoulder, so will be sticking to desk jockey shit. I actually miss manual labour. Cheers!

The time off isn't all bad. Gives you a whole different perspective on life/work and some realisation about the self. Certainly see how much people depend on their jobs to define their lives!

Cool! Still, dat mid mount engine...seems like pain in the ass to work on.

Other than that, you got an awesome all rounder and better looking than the Carrera IMO. Older models still look good and the S isn't too bad on price.

cayman better than carrera? trippin son!

This! Certainly don't like it when people change themselves to suit the job, as in their personal likes/hobbies etc.... despite them not liking it. It's all a facade imo!

I'll get the oven ready, how do you like your tea? Special milk? ;-)

lol yup...you don't realise how much most people just whinge about their job, including your former self, until you don't have it anymore. Give up their youth and sanity for some of the worst jobs, but depend on it for their identity. And then dead before they know it!

Best job I ever worked was 4 days a week. Not just a shorter working week, but a longer weekend. That was proper living!

thats fine provided the $$$ are there to sustain the standard of living you desire, I'm yet to find anyone who walks the ultimate balance of lifestyle and income ideally 80-100k 5 days a week 9-5pm would be the absolute ideal situation however not sure how likely that is for most people.

Farking wish my part timer was a 9-5, I'd be rolling in it with less stress than a supermarket shelf stacker.

You're right though, unless you're lucky it's difficult to have a baller lifestyle without the high hours job to go with it. Sometimes it just ain't worth it though...my mate must be on close to 120 now and he's the most depressed, stressed out, time lacking person with no social life. He's setting himself up well for the future, but fark, if you're 40 before you start having any fun or time to yourself, I don't want any part of it! Think he's close to quitting!

Everyone always wants moar money

How many hours you do a week Alex?

I'm pretty much a relaxing 8:30-5p.m

If it gets busy I might stay back to 6 at the latest

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
