Marc, when I know I have a job after Dec 21st.
I never planned not to have one as previously every student who'd worked at the ATO has seemed to have gotten either a contract extension or had a position open up for them. Neither have happened for me or the other students. There's a big push down south to save money so no one knows anything really about positions. My manager has said a business case for me to stay has been floating around but haven't heard anything.

After working at Mazda dealers. Parts depts are the worst I get the best service and help from toowoomba Mazda followed by Boettchers at Ipswich . A inner west dealer near a Toyota dealership , the parts manager is hopeless and if it is not a current part it is to hard for him .

Went on a mountain run today few pics of my car:
Also installed a JL Audio 4 Channel Amp last weekend with the help of a friend, still have to get photos off the phone. Also thought I'd ordered the last of my parts but just remembered tonight that Ive still yet to get gearbox oil, clutch, oil filter relocation kit + oil filter and oil pressure gauge so that I can adjust the External Pressure Valve :/ Kinda a bit to forget. EDIT: Thanks Ben for teh Photos

So phil (danke Phil <3) helped me install an amplifier to go with my new speakers and head deck (which is looking rather worse for wear after only about 7 months use, lots of use but still , I treat my stuff really well too ).
Friend hard at work while i take happy snaps: Amp in Question, cant believe how small they've gotten, compared to the amps of yester year. Headunit up on the dashboard so that the plugs can be rewired: Actually really happy with the amp its made a massive difference to the sound quality, lots better mids and lows. Has a better sound stage as well now IMO. Only fault that I can really give it is that the highs are more pronounced at and at higher volumes can be a little sharp compared to the rest of the sound. But then I do have rather sensitive ears (cant stand night clubs or concerts most of the time due to this).
