My general area is pretty good.
No crocs, minimal stingers, beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains, gorges, islands, barrier reef.


Yup, seems a beautiful area... and some ok placer gold spots for a weekend adventure... No crocs and minimal stingers... Tempting :)


You guys are sooooooo lucky :)

The old continent has been so deprived of nature...


Colorado's quite beautiful, I'm stuck electronics shopping for a few today, I think I'll squeeze in a hike. :idea: :D

I got a job interview 8O

Not to replace my current job, but to compliment it.
8O
I feel very out of my depth all of a sudden.

Likewise. I'm within a very small scope of people with the experience to just keep computers running indefinitely & I'm studying through a crunch time. I'm seriously considering just some simple mechanic work to keep myself from boredom.

I tend to think we should fight boredom at all costs, but I also tend to take on too much and end up setting myself back a fair bit. There's definitely an art to doing nothing without being bored, or miserable.

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.

I need a place where I don't feel taken advantage of, and I don't have that currently. New work that suits my brain might be an antidote.


^ grazie!

I'll be fine, once I sort my interview outfit out.
Outfit on, prep in my head, switch into personable mode, done. Makes me feel like a lizard person lol.

Oooh Korean market? Looks like those Ssangyong ones to me.


Yes a South Korean made one as i found out when looking online as i thought it came with air con and after buying realized it didnt, so Mcgyvered it and made my own :lol: ... Not sure beyond that, will look up Ssangyong..
It is an MB 140 Diesel/manual


I'm in major need of a truck or with any luck a good van here, I'm looking back into the bike mechanic biz as well as rebuilding Subies as a diversion from my technical living. Ford Econolines are cheap but I'd like to save for an old Sprinter.

Anyways here's cberg's good morning tunes:



Would you be interested in 2012 Volvo C 30 coupe? :P Not quite a van, but I need to get read of it lol

I'm willing to ship it to Martians if needed.

I have a V50 with AWD so that would be totally ridiculous of me but C30s make me drool anyway. Awesome little cars these things, if a bit intricate/advanced for my tastes.

Mine's getting long-overdue parts replaced while I languish studying & run errands in my dad's Honda. :/

I think it's zero, but at this point I'd be willing to pay them, just to take it away lol.

Really? :) Not sure what V50 is like is but C30 is horrible, at least this coupe version.The clutch simply fell apart after only 30 000 km of driving. I've heard that XC90 has the same problem...Nissan rules :D

I went to New Zealand once. They have big fancy pigeons there (among other things).
