    Very nice! I like it! :)

    Isn't showing the rego plate a risk? Can people find out where you live by knowing your rego?

    Nice horsepower but you would still lose in a drag race against my old car if I still had it! 1,100 HP and 9 second quarter mile ;)

    GTR R35 is my favorite car ever since it came out 9 years ago. One day I will buy one, even if it is a second hand one.

    I stand corrected but I think I read recently that the plant was being subsidied by you the taxpayer the sum of $350m per year or was that over 5 years

    What would the unemployment benefit add up to over a year for the 1000 or so workers made redundant ?

    Don't forget fella's that we also have Masters closing down in a couple of months so thats another 1000 jobs or more gone.

    And Woolworths are closing about 20 stores in Oz also soon.

    By 2018 we should be well and truly in recession territory if not sooner!

    Not sure what you exactly you mean there Juilie?

    I'm not making ANY major financial decisions until at least 2018 after all these business's close and we see the effects they have on the economy.

    And thats not even taking into account any problems with European banks or the U.S!

    you would have to have a job first to worry about losing it and the financial impacts of that.

    Yes very true C.J.

    Thats why only just this morning I went for a preliminary job interview.

    If I get through to the second interview and get the job I will be working for Caterpillar as a forklift mechanic.

    Thats gotta be a decent job for sure!
