Hi, seems to be a tight knit forum here.

Was just checking it out, have been tracking the I30 befor it was released. From all reports it's the best little car out.

Was going to buy a Diesel SLX...but made the decision to sell up and move to WA (kalgoorlie) to get a job truck driving.
If anyone is thinking of doing it, it's bloody stupid hard to get a trainee driver position!
The old "it's not what you know, but who you know" wont get you in any more. I know this because my uncle works a Mt Keith
as a dump truck driver. Yesterday he called and said there was 16 trucks parked up because they have no drivers?
So he went to the big boss and said that I'm after a job and the big man said ha cant do anything to help, you have to go through all these bullshit
agencies to get in. bla bla bla.

So if you ever think of coming up make sure you got plenty of $$$ saved to get you by!

Anyway some of my old rides are - (in order from what i can remember!)

260Z Custom Turbo L26
260Z Stocker
Ser2 RX7
R32 GTST
R32 GTST with lots of mods
Soarer GTTL
Ser4 RX7 Convertible
Ford KB Laser 'White Lightning' Factory Turbo No. 145
KB Laser Stocker
Celsior CF PIMP!
Toyota Chaser JZX100 Ser2
Soarer GTTL 220rwkw+
VZ Calais
Toyota Camry (bought to bring up to kalgoorlie)
Also got a GSXR 750, with custom air brushing.


Couple of pics of the old rides.

HI nizzkid,

Great list of rides (and some nice pix)

Hope things pick up on the work front...

My 21 y/o Daughter and her Boyfriend are moving to Perth WA for a change of scenery at around Xmas time

Hope they have more luck with work than you're having  :o

Thanks guys.

I havn't been to Perth as yet, i've been told it's a very nice city.
They are @ 20 years behind though! Shops shut on sunday ect..

There ARE jobs out there and i have been offered positions they aren't that hard to find, but im focusing on only the one job.
And thats a dump truck trainee.

The only reason i havn't taken any of the other jobs is that i do have a fair bit of savings so im fortunate to have the choice.
When my uncle came up he had a suitcase and $1000, he had to take a heap of random jobs befor he got into driving.
