About 20 heads have been put on the chopping block today, and unfortunately mine is one of them. So I am actively in the market for a new job and as part of my search I thought I'd see if someone from here knows something I don’t I have 6 years experience in IT, and although I don't normally rate certifications I hold an MCSE and CCEA (Citrix). My most recent role was as a Systems Engineer, mostly doing project related design, implementation, documentation, and third level support. Previous to that I have been in various technical roles providing installations, support and mentoring for medium sized clients, one large application service provider and a large equipment roll out for the largest non - alcoholic beverage licensee in Australia. There is no Microsoft, Citrix, VMWare product, or Server & Storage equipment (including SAN's) I feel uncomfortable with. I have been lucky enough to work with most of the Microsoft (and supporting apps) Citrix, VMWare, HP, IBM, Dell, EMC, Seimens, etc.. suite of products, and I am fairly knowledgable for someone who has been in the industry for a short amount of time. I am a quick learner, and basically a spounge that takes as much information I can get. So if anyone has any openings at their work, please let me know where I can shoot of my resume. Cheers, Ivan

There is a difference, most people only get 30,000kms out of a set of premium rotors. I got 68,000, I know of someone that got 70,000 and now we have a winner at 80,000...

Most people use the search engine...

My local bob jane reckons the bob jane specials aren't a bad tyre either, infact lets all go get some bob jane specials

Here is an idea...as if the factory dunlops weren't sh*t enough, lets all get even worse tyres on our performance cars....

Hey guys I'm just away in Newcastle at the moment for work. I'll be getting back tomorrow, and I promise I'll have something up by the weekend. The date is 17th December, and it will be a cruise to Bathurst via Bells line, then lunch at a venue in Bathurst, and a cruise back via some more twisties. Cheers, Ivan

What a top weekend, I'm still recovering GREAT roads, GREAT company, and a bloody good drive!! Thanks to everyone for attending, and a big thanks to Dal & Sosoft (saleen) for letting me drive their cars PS, Like DSOFT's (DBOSS) new signature

I'm off to my Christmas party in Newcastle, see you all in the morning!!

Driving to Jindy today I think

They should have them as options, and if people want them they can pay for them. Hell, if their build quality, materials, and customer service significantly improvedI'd pay up to 100k. If I had the budget.

Not everyone likes the challenge of long sweeping corners and tight twisty bends but I do. The more bends the better. ← As for not liking coners well I've taken my GT and previous cars to Eastern Creek,Oran Park and Wakefield for some serious cornering other than Cro I cant find anybody else that can stay with me CYA JEFF PS:Hey Billsta ← Yeh, Corners are fun when your going quick, but when you have to slow down and wait for everyone to catch up they're bloody boring

Zap, to quote the FPV site "The new Force 6 and Force 8. Premium Luxury." Fully optioned BMW, Lexus , Mercedes, Audi, etc.. are examples of Premium Luxury cars. Those cars without options are still luxury cars, and for the same price as the Force models. As I've said in a previous post... Where are the heated/cooled seats, auto dimming mirrors, decent sound system with mp3/wma, DTS and Dolby Digital DVD player option, auto up/down windows, reversing camera, keyless entry and start, rain sensing wipers, bi-xenon lights, front and rear parking sensors, stability control, rear airbags, curtain airbags, etc... Electric vynil (passed off as leather) seats with memory, and climate control does not make it a luxury car, let alone a premium luxury car. Sure to some bogan decked out in his/hers finest Ford racing gear from Target the idea of vynil seats makes the Force models a luxury car. FPV however will never see their money unless they win the lottery. I'm prepared to spend 75oddk on a car, and I was hoping FPV would have specced up the Force models as they are being touted as Premium Luxury. If they were even luxury cars I'd probably be driving one right now.

All good and well, but why do they lie and try to pass it off as a luxury car when it is clearly nothing but a performance car.

Does that mean I need to edit my "everyone is soft" post

Should be fine and sunny for Saturday, still waiting for Sundays report though

No babysitters where do you live Alice springs? get a dingo Seriously im sure you have trustworthy ppl like granparents who would luv to do it OR a real babysitter u pay cmon.... I cant be the only envi T they will laugh at me ← That is just one of the reasons :laughrolling:

No, but I am actually going

I'm dying for the opportunity to move back down there... Open roads, decent speed limits, 2.5 hours from sydney, 8 hours from Melbourne, 1.5 Hours to the coast or snows and no traffic. Friendly people, nicely laid out city, easy to get around, etc.. Wish I never left...
