Mining Consultant (Metallurgist)

Presently working in the middle of China - Good, bad and ugly.

Good - US$ and little tax - I should have me a GRT by the end of the year

Bad - middle of bloody no where, few other expats, crickets for dinner....

Ugly - 12 hour days, 120 days straight

I represent  a manufacturer of printers, look after WA,SA & NT.  

The GTST is my 'work car' if the tax dept ever asks any of you. I get a car allowance for it. And those mods I did are actually "repairs" to worn out components.:rolleyes:

i need a job like this or become a contracter so i can pull the same swifty on the tax office.

I have similar deal, as I am a contractor with my own Pty Ltd. My company owns the car and I have to pay FBT on it, but if your modifying (oops I meant repairing) you come out in front. Other bonus in WA is multi-nova infringements get sent to company, and you are asked politely to inform them who the driver was. There is no law obligating the company to tell them, so you just ignore it and they go away. I have had two of these I ignored over 2 years back, so no fine/demerits/record that may effect insurance.

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
