Mohsen bet you copped a good lecture from your old man ey? lol

if you're not bothered with more studying (not that you studied anyway with an ENTER like that) and are thinking of getting into a trade then do so asap. dont waste time, the earlier you start the better for you. i wasted 3.5 years at uni for nothing but meh live and learn

for 70K you can get a a mint condition e46 m3 with very low Ks and have enough change to supercharge it. non M bimmers are too grnadpa spec but thats just my opinion.

show me, and when you say low kms better be under 35000 or else its high kms for a car like that, plus the advances since old m3 to new justifty waiting and gettin one for 120k imo. i also dont like driving old model cars haha skyline excluded cos its a thrasher but my daily has to be current.

Enter score means sweet f**k all anyway. I got the highest in my school and I now paint houses for a living lol. So much emphasis placed on a score which is hardly the truest indicator of future success.

True that. I did well (89 without studying for a single exam I thought was pretty good), went to uni, decided it wasn't for me. My partner got a mid-range enter, did a year of a diploma, did the same uni course, finised and now earns double what I do and soon a lot more.

I didn't try at all, got a mid-range enter then worked a crappy entry level IT job for 3 years (and still am). Have been wanting to start my own business all that time and now I finally am :)

Soon I start getting trained to do car detailing. Something I've always wanted to learn. Then I'm going to start a mobile car wash/detailing business. Already got a name, website designed, employees etc. Everything is ready to go. Just need to learn the skills!

Good indicator of how motivated and hardworking one is i think. The fact you did well and now paint houses for a living isn't an indictment on the system, more a reflection on you :P

99.55 over hurr :devil:

99.85 :D Got into med. Did it for a year, got bored of memorising shit and really didn't wanna be a doc, so I did software engineering for like 3 years (1 of which was repeating all my subjects that I failed cos I just lost interest in studying). Got to the 3rd year and got offered a job working fulltime for Canon, so I dropped out of uni. ended up finishing the course via correspondence while working over the next 3 years.

Just cos you get a high mark doesn't mean the right course for you is also one with a high mark, also in some instances, experience > university.

Mohsen, the covers on do-luck wheels are for brake cooling if I recall reading from the website.

I want them, pity they are impossible to come by.

I know a dude who claim his dads Toyota lexcen that can be convert from v6 to v8 by pushing the exhaust manifold.

But he is well known for his shit talker and that was without drugs...

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
