Also I wouldn't mind a used CLK500/E500 (last gen) since they look good and aren't too exxy either.

$100k.. hmm.. not enough to buy anything too extravagant and realistically, if I won $100k I'd put it in a term deposit or some kind of stable investment which earned me interest over the years. Yes I'm boring but I can only fit one car in my garage (and no street parking where I live). But if...

If you've never done it before, save yourself the hassle and don't DIY. A few mates of mine tried DIY before and it didn't come out that well- and we wasted material too which isn't cheap. Just doing the roof, materials will cost you around $150 (not including tools) but to get a professional...

LOL I think you might have met her then- I'll PM you in a sec. I guess the key thing you need to decide, which hopefully uni and meeting people will help, is whether or not you want to do law or actuarial. From what I can tell, law is extremely competitive if you want to work in one of the top...

Everything is relative. 94 sounds pretty darn good to me, and when you get to uni, 99.99% of the time you won't be seeing marks starting with a 9 :)

I don't think BIT/BIS is that bad. It depends what you want to achieve out of all of this. If you are someone who was going to study some field of IT because that's what you're passionate about, which happens to be someone I know, then it's a great program. If you're only doing it because that's...

Are you running Windows 7? The Microsoft equivalent of iMovie is called Windows Live Movie Maker and is available for free for Windows 7 and Microsoft Live customers (i.e. anyone who uses MSN/Windows Live Messenger or Hotmail) as part of their Windows Live Essentials pack. Refer to...

I'm currently debating whether or not I want to vinyl wrap my car.. http://carbonfibrevinylwrap.net.au/ These guys did the roof on my Evo. Hmm.

Agreed it's not for everyone. One key thing which helped me when I undertook FT work and FT studies simultaneously was the fact that I had worked for 2 years already in my firm and had established a good reputation. This gave me a lot more flexibility in how and when I work- e.g. I worked around...

Correct. Not strong at all.

Re: how long does commerce degree (cadetship) take? I have no idea sorry.. Wow that is an impressive effort on your part and definitely not the norm. That being said, at least in my time, a lot of us did overload and do 3 subjects a semester just to give us a bit of buffer in the final year or...

Re: how long does commerce degree (cadetship) take? I have no idea sorry.. Obviously each firm/company is different with different priorities and cultures. In my experience in a Big 4 firm, there are clear guidelines on what is expected from people across the various grades. For a trainee for...

The Lancer is a great first car, pretty safe, has plenty of modding potential if you wish, with a CVT transmission which isn't that bad (I've driven the 08 Lancer before). That being said, that's pricey because it's a) an old VR-X (i.e. before they upgraded the engine to 2.4L) b) 2008 A new...

Re: how long does commerce degree (cadetship) take? I have no idea sorry.. Typically yes because you will not be returning as a normal graduate- you will be rejoining as an experienced graduate or accountant (or whatever title the company gives you), or in some firms/companies, a senior...

But a tuned 335i driven by a decent driver would beat a stock M3 (or any good car) driven by a tard. That's all that matters in the traffic light grand prix right?

Re: Out of these two "qualifications" which is more highly likelly to INVESTMENT BANK It teaches you where those who didn't get grad jobs end up.

Are you on P's or fulls? Remember turbo = fulls only. If new, the price difference will be more like $95k vs. $120k driveaway. If used, you'd be looking at $55 vs. $70k. Don't forget there's different trmi/extras, and if you're lucky you'll get one off someone who optioned it up. Only downside...

What a steal. Either it's wrong or got some serious issues. Neither BMW or MB follow their own damn naming conventions anymore. C250 CGI is a 1.8L T for example whilst my C250 CDI is a 2.1L TT. I'd pass. Bit on the pricey side for an old Accord Euro. Great car though.

Fair enough but if the general mood of the forum hasn't made you realise, you're a very fortunate and lucky person. I can think of plenty of adults who would struggle to get $80k let alone be able to spend it on a car. That being said, I sincerely hope your parents weren't saps and paid $80k...
