December 17, 201114 yr comment_572089 Talking to my dad last week and found out that give or take a month or two he'll needing a car. Kind of makes me regret selling the ke30 but he put my mind at ease cause he's more thinking of a ute or something. Anywhats, driving around town, i spotted a nice ke70 wagon sitting on the side of the road for sale but no price. Told dad about it and he's pretty chuffed about it so now all i have to do is find out the price and let him know. About a '83 model - it has the slant nose, or is that '84. Has a 4k motor, not the 4a. Manual - not sure if its a 4 or 5 speed. Roady and rego'd A quick look over it and i couldn't see any rust, through the windows the interior looked clean. So i'm thinking somewhere around the 2500 maybe 3000 mark. Report

January 4, 201214 yr comment_575315 So I've finally decided to step down from retail, and head towards an apprenticeship. Feels a bit late, starting out at 21. Just wondering If there's some tradies/apprentices that could give me some guidance. Leaning towards mechanic/Spray Painter/pretty much anything automotive. Cheers Report

I started out at 25, 21 isn't that bad! :P Life experience will help, which you have a bit more of not being a 16-17 year old. Plus I figured getting paid while doing schooling was a much better idea than forking out for a university course. :) Go hard! :y: Report

Self doubt is a killer. Report

Self doubt is a killer. You don't have to know it all, that's what the training is for. Know-it-alls are usually smartasses who don't actually know much at all, so they don't get hired. I think you're better off not being one, be a sponge, just absorb. :wink: Edited January 4, 201214 yr by carbonboy Report
