Well if you read what I said you would realize it is because they don't get paid enough to care...

If I worked at 50% capacity and just didn't are about my quality of work, I'd:

a) Get fired for someone who did do a good job.

or

b) Never get a payrise to the level I wanted, because its clear I don't give a shit about quality of work and that reflects badly on me as an employee.

or

c) Not get fired, and slowly put the company out of business.

Usually those studying engineering

Its not just academic scores, its real world and people skllls they also seem to lack

Too many engineers in a service-driven country. Keep getting asked for job vacancies from every engineer coming out of uni.

Haha true that, it's like in those years they study they somehow forget to communicate with other human beings.

Science is another one, pretty hard to actually get a job in research or something similar I would imagine?

I would LOVE to see you on one of the cable pulls we do on a regular basis.

The heat off rule seems to be one of the go to things for you anti union guys, but you don't seem to mention that we have to wear full length clothing, as well as gloves hard hat and glasses, covering pretty much every area that heat escapes your body... How often does it hit 35 before 3pm anyway? It's a very rare occurrence, which means those days where it's 34.9 for most of the afternoon, we sweat it out in the heat.

Rained off rule is even rarer. I'm yet to be rained off a job in almost 4 years.

We pay for our RDOs so another great point there...

Coz our job is guaranteed yeah... People get sacked in our industry on a regular basis. But I'm sure the media has told you the union protects us against that..

I wear a suit even when it's 40c (like a boss) & get rained on regularly as do many other workers and as for rdos who doesn't work more hours than they get paid for? Ain't no rdos for them though just called keeping your job for us unprotected working class citizens.

Me on a cable pull? Whatever that is hell to the no these pen pusher hands don't even refill the stapler :D

As predicted, fat lazy sales lady...sat there on her phone playing candy cruch or some shit while I walked 130 boxes up the driveway 2 at a time...well I did 2 at a time till my wrist got sore then did 1 at a time..

Honestly people wonder why they get fat...

Hopefully the tendonitis doesn't flair up again and put me off work and back on the rock n roll, I would hate to sit here feeling guilty that I cant slave boxes around while you all complain that you have to support people on welfare..

See I know how good i have it now.

growing up working on the farm, full boilersuit, and gum boots, working outdoors no matter the conditions.

and when I started getting paid a grand total of 3$ an hour.. (dat family business)

no unions 7 days a week work no sick days and low pay..

all so coles can sell milk for 1$ a liter.

so I'll enjoy my international travel, secure hourly rate and climate controlled conditions thank you very much

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • 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.
