    Info On Macleay?

    Macleay is good if you are impatient and want a fast-tracked avenue into the industry you're interested in. I studied journalism there in 2006 and it got my foot in the door, now I'm a journalist and third in charge of Australia's biggest car racing magazine. I will admit, though, it wasn't...

    Anybody keen to move out?

    Gang, I want to move out to be closer to work and I'm trying to find someone else who is keen also. I've found a cheap place at Concord West (Sydney) for about $125/week (plus the initial bond and bills) and I want to move in. It's about 20-25 mins from the city by train. It's also not too...

    What's wrong with me...? Am I just jealous?

    Jeff, what you're feeling is perfectly natural. The guy didn't have to work for his car. So he takes it for granted. And the painful part is that he doesn't realise how lucky he is to have such a car. I think maybe you feel angry if anything, because he doesn't deserve it. He'll wash it with...

    when can i go for my full licence?

    You must have your greens for a minimum of 24 months but they expire after 30 months. So if your greens expire on the 22 June then you should be eligible for your full license on January 22 (I'm pretty sure). :)

    Got a question about cars?

    Yeh thought so, I was getting confused then - thought they might have brought in the Hollinger 6-speed sequentials they used in the Nations Cup Monaros all those years ago, as part of the 2006-spec cars.
