Absolutely disgusting, made my guts churn. I stood at the local RSL for a simple minute to remember our fallen soliders, with tears in my eyes for what these braver than brave men and women did so we can today have EVERYTHING we take for granted. Everything is not an understatement, either...

Mine has been right royally playing up on me the last 12 hours or so, It's McF*cked. First time this spring/summer It's been really bad. I use claratyne or telfast usually. Works well for me.

Retained (Part time paid) Firey with the NSW Fire Brigades at 446 Stockton in Newcastle, Before that was in an RFS brigade for 4 years in the Blue Mountains.

What Sashyre said. I love cars and driving as much as anyone else, but nothing pisses me more than people driving look hoons around my quiet little Newcastle suburban street.

Lot of people need to learn the phrase "A bird should never **** in its own nest"

Hey guys and gals, Just a quick enquiry. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that sells scale models (of any scale) of VE road cars, particularly SV6 and SS models? Cheers James

Train driving goes off, It's an awesome paying job. Skillfull yes, high paying yes, shitty hours yes, strenuous NO. Been driving coal trains for just under 2 years now, and you have another bloke (or blokette) with you. Least in NSW, I don't know if there is DOO (Driver Only Operation)...

I'm glad someone else reckons that too, satisfaction in your work has got to have something to do with it.

Mine was a 1973 HQ Kingswood, currently sitting in the garage half stripped waiting for me to find the motivation to do it up.

Unfortunately, as good as your intentions are mate it just won't happen. This sorta thing doesn't get votes for politicians, as logical as it is to let us use it. But the problem is that the low end of the gene pool who think it's cool to rip doughies and burnouts on public roads all the...

As you said mate, last thing we wanna be doing is dragging someone else out. But good on you for doing at least something Dragz. If your lungs still hurt now, i'd recommend getting checked out by a Doctor too. Carbon Monoxide and the vast amount of other **** can be VERY harmful to your lungs...

Reason I was being a tad cynical about the oldmates efforts in trying to save someone who was possibly in the house is because he could have quite easily become a casualty. Being in a fire situation like that can, as someone else alluded to above kill someone in literally seconds. The levels...

Pretty shitty day if you ask me mate. Usually when we rock up to a house fire like that It's gonna be fairly unlikely there's not going to be much we we can do to save the property from at the very least severe fire and smoke damage. If it happens again though, prob best not to run in even if...

Yeah good luck with that mate haha. There's some pretty shitty Male drivers out there too.

Not making the most of the opportunities I'm given....

As others have mentioned mate, the best way to go about it to be quietly confident about yourself. When you walk into an interview, they (being the interviewers) want to give you the job. It's up to you to prove how you're sufficiently able to do/learn the job by answering the questions...

It's not really, tell me you've never looked through the oldmate's windows infront of you to see if there is a possible need to hit the anchors? How is one supposed to do that with illegal tint. It's like having a cry about getting done for speeding, having bald tyres, blown headlights etc...

Train driver for Pacific National in Newcastle, part time Firey with the NSW Fire Brigades.

Yeah like the tools that tag up the front of my trains, they get pretty good exposure. But they sure as hell make trying to drive a 10,500t Coal train pretty hard when you can't see out the windows. Also the risk of cleaning up one of these scumbag pieces of dog excretement on a train is very...

The Turning Away by Pink Floyd. Simply amazing song.

Mine's also the volume up button! Then the volume down was also the one to go! While we're on this subject, the steering wheel centre on my VZ has developed a crack around the badge, is it possible to buy a new centre and install it without having to replace the airbag? Which I imagine would...

Just so you know there VK, there is no such thing as Springwood LAC. It's actually all apart of the Blue Mountains LAC which incorporates the Police stations of Mount Vic, Katoomba and Springwood and also the HWP station at Lawson, which house the LAC's 4 HWP cars :)

The Resistence-Muse

First was Kiss/Screaming Jets in 2001 at the Superdome, I was in year 5. Holy Crap it still rates as one of the best ever gigs too. But the best of all time would have to be the first time (of so many) that I saw The Living End. Friday night at the Enmore, just simply amazing.

I tend to think he meant exactly what he originally said. You don't drive like a tool and the Police won't have a reason to pull you up. Simple. Anyway sorry about the car man, there really are some arseholes in this world arent there? :-(

Avoid the Gearins and the Family hotels, big dramas on NYE. The Carrington is by far the best option. Drive Safe dude.

Agree with the above comment, I feel sorry for the driver. The dregs? Nope. No loss to society.

Used to live in Katoomba, did so for 19 years till I moved to Newcastle, lovin not being in Ktown these days! I often head back there on my days off to see the fam etc.

Lookin good bro, like MYDZYR said the wheels are pretty damn nice too.

Sheesh dudes if you don't find that even mildly amusing there's something wrong with you, or you have about as much sense of humour as a house brick. It's meant to be a pisstake on how P Platers are blamed for all the worlds problems!

I'm very lucky for my age (20) to be earning just under $70k gross a year, that's as a train driver. That's not factoring in any overtime either, and I usually do at least one or two a fortnight.

As a train driver myself, please people be patient if the booms at a Level Crossing fail. By design, when the circuiting that operates them fail the gates automatically go down to prevent a case of the gates not going down when there IS actually a train coming the other way. There's...

Rick Kelly, Mark Skaife, Russell Ingall, GT, Lowndesy etc. My mums VP SS has the almighty Peter Brocks signature on its dash. Also got a few different signatures from Chris Cheney, Scott Owen and Andy Strachan from The Living End. All of the 2004 Wallabies squad, all of the 2003...

Thanks man, yours isn't a bad looker either mind you.

My oath they shouldn't be getting paid anywhere near what Rees is getting paid. It's a joke! Perhaps instead of giving themselves a pay rise they could start decreasing the pathetic state of our hospitals, fixing the antiquated rail and road transport "system"........I could be here for...

Go the Fireys man, head over to either Winmalee, Valley Heights or Faulconbridge Rural Fire Brigades and have a chat the either the Captain or one of the Deputies on a Wednesday night (Tues for Winmalee) from about 1900 onwards. Before I moved to Newcastle, I lived in Katoomba for 19 (my...

I agree with Weedo_86, spare a thought for those of us that have gone and seen the impacts of what speeding and idiotic driving does. Been to a few nasty prangs as a volunteer firey when I was younger and by God I don't wish some of those scenes upon anyone else. However, at the end of the...

Your mate's an f*ckwit. Plain and simple. It's morons like him that give cat enthusiasts a really unecessery stigma and attract unwarranted attention from the Police. For example, my little brother. Had his licence for less than a week. Quiet suburban street, swerved to "miss a dog"...

Get rid of the standard rims ASAP, you can make an SV6 look about 30,0000000000 times better with a good set of wheels man. Other than that it looks as though it's in top nick! Another green P plater to add to the SV6 ranks haha.
