Just saw an advert for this on tv and it looks good for Australia's first hatch designed and built in Australia. Not my cup of tea for style but it does look modern at least. Looks pretty good value- I'm surprised about the comment that the price difference between engines is minimal...

Given the huge number of people who write up about wanting to get into IB, no doubt attracted by the marketing, brand names and salaries, how many people here have a decent understanding of what IB actually entails? I work with a lot of IBers for my job when it comes to issuing debt products...

Just wondering... am currently debating whether or not to bother getting one. Unlike some of my friends who buy extravagant (4 or 5 digit watches), if I were to get one it'd be something cheap/effective (i.e. under $100) e.g. http://www.dealfox.com.au/casio-watch-efa-110d-7avdf . Practically...

Thought it was time to start up a thread asking what people here think of diesel cars. Now that I've had mine for a few months, I'm really loving it. The pulling power, the fuel economy, etc... but then on the other hand, sounds rubbish (thankfully my car has eco stop at traffic lights) and is...

Out of interest was anyone here a participant in the PwC Preview program this year?

Just thought I'd create a thread to open up the discussion on peoples' experiences with using LinkedIn in the Commerce/Business space. I personally have maintained a strong profile using LinkedIn and it's actually brought in a lot of positive attention from recruiters. Whilst I did have the...

Apparently this question was asked in some IB interviews this year, and I'm curious to hear what the guys on BoS think. When I was asked my view on this, I had two conflicting thoughts- the first being the textbook theory of interest rate parity and interest rate differentials (in short...

Anyone here using a Galaxy S II on here?

Just kicking off the 2012 cadetships discussion with the official discussion thread. Useful info: http://www.charteredaccountants.com.au/Students/Getting-connected/Cadetships.aspx Some background info...

Were you affected by PSN going down? Or worse yet, were you impacted by the 'hacking' implications exposing your data? Per today's SMH (27/04/2011): URL: http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/games/playstation-hacking-scandal-police-chief-says-contact-your-bank-now-20110427-1dvts.html

Since the old thread got lost, I thought it was time to launch a new version of the famous "What car do you drive?" thread. To give it a bit more structure, I suggest (optionally) including some information: MAKE: MODEL: YEAR: LIKES: DISLIKES: FUN FACT/OTHER/MODLIST: PLANS FOR FUTURE...

Just thought I'd give it the thumbs up especially if you're new to track/circuit racing as it's a nice small/short/technical course which focusses more on driving line and approach as opposed to outright power/speed. I went last week on the Ian Luff course with a bunch of BMW guys and it was...

After the last thread went down with the server, I thought I'd create a new thread for people who are interested in the CA program to ask a question and get an answer. There are a couple of guys on BoS who are currently undertaking the Chartered Accountants program (i.e. GradDipCA) or have...

My manager at work (currently drives a tuned STI) is looking to get a new car and the following is his shortlist: BMW M3 E92 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Porsche Cayman S (note the above is Cayman R- I couldn't find a suitable photo of the 2011 Cayman S) I asked this on my Facebook...

I saw this a few days ago and thought "no way"... but who knows, maybe others here feel the same way as me. I always thought driving in NFS/etc whilst not realistic helped improve my reaction times over the years and Forza/GT helped me learn better lines and shift points! More info, and...

Thought I'd share this Youtube video: Bit pricey at $55aud ish (tried looking at various sites to see where I could get one for a mate with a Prius)... but still pretty funny.

Saw this article on SMH and whilst I don't necessarily agree with the choice of cars, it does provide a good starting point for people in the market, who don't really care much about performance and are more interested in reliability and everyday driving, etc... URL...

A black Monaro revved it, gunned it, did nothing at the lights today on Victoria Rd... but then he fishtailed like crazy. Props for trying. I happily overtook :) Subsequently as we passed an intersection he tried to gun it again but instead slid over his lane divider and into my lane and then...
