Studying Abroad In Australia

Hi Ryan.
Welcome to Australia Buddy.
A host of us will be there for the GP, myself included.
The best place to buy tickets is www.ticketmaster7.com.au
That is the official site, so you dont have to worry.

In regards to "Mobile Phones" as we call them out here, your best bet would be getting a "Pre-Paid" mobile. That way you buy "Pre-Paid Recharge Cards" that give you a set amount of value on your account. And you can recharge your account by buying new cards.
Check out:
www.telstra.com.au
www.optus.com.au
www.vodafone.com.au

I live in Sydney, so i dont know where the car sites are in Melbourne, but i know that the Fox Musuem is a go. You can see the "MCENZO" (tm) there!!

Check out http://www.foxcollection.org for more info....

IF you need anything else, feel free to post up in this forum.

Hope your stay in our fine land is enjoyable.

 

Ok...first of all, you should call her a lady, not a broad. It's considered impolite.

 

Hey! I thought of that when i first replied to this thread! But considering that Ryan had a "serious" tone, i opted out.

I'll take about 25% credit for that joke.
Sorry Peter. At least you got the bigger half. Im open for negotiation.

 

BWAHAHA

what else are you studying here... and why?

hey, your post count is 575, is that a hint to get a new car instead of that OHOS ?

and just how much will you sell it for ?

plus I nearly choked when I read you said that was "impolite" ??!!

 

What number is an Enzo? I'll keep posting until there.

You could get a car like mine for $150k or so, apparently.

I know all there is to know about impolite! I'm an expert on it.

 

by the time you leave our shores yu will have a different sense of humour and be all the better for it, but it may get you into trouble back home.

The must sees of Oz are :

Great Barrier Reef, Qld
The Rock, NT
Sydney, NSW
Cradle Mountain, Tassie
Gold Coast, Qld

or my all time fav :

the Pink Club in Sydney's Kings Cross

 

Add to that The Great Ocean Road and The Kimberley and you could be here for a year

 

the Putty Rd between Windsor and Singleton is my favourite although the Great Ocean road is a classic.

I don't think anyone could beat me on the Putty in the same car when I was young as I really threw the car at the last sweeping "corners" as you come into the last 30-40kms from Windsor, they are corners only at really high speeds (200kph+) and I was never in a really great car to try for any faster.

In WA the only good roads would be to the airport to leave or the Nullaboring hwy where you could sit on 300 for hours and go to sleep

r u organising a Russian airship to bring us eastern staters over this year JM ?

 

Nyet

However, a great deal will be available from TNT - in containers, on the train - and your travel subsidy will nearly cover it - how's that for a deal?

That's only for F-Cars though, so you'd be out of luck

JM

 

Oh now that's low......even for you, just for that I'm bringing over a tricycle to whip you around Barbwirello

 

идите палка ваша голова мертвая задница медведей - трехколесные велосипеды, не разрешенные организаторами

 

hahahahaha

Я знал вы найдет дорогу замедлять меня вниз

 

Mate - I wouldn't do anything to slow you down - I need the competition!
A bottle of WA's finest on the result?
JM

 

They still have milk in bottles over there?

 

WA now has an Online Liquor store.

as for their finest, it's a toss up...

Nah - not that advanced yet - milk is still delivered from churns into a billy hung on the front gate!
I've told you before, we're 3 hours and 10 years behind the rest of the country
However, having said all that, the local wine is senational.
Current score in the JM/JM wars is Sandgopers 1 - Queens 0 - probably 2-0 after WA Rally

 

If you're lucky, there won't be any Vics there.....that means you'll have a chance.

 

you fast guys don't go any further than Winton do you ?

and JM, of course it will be the usual Margaret River plonk and unless I get some decent track time (ANY track time will do) it may turn into a close race

that picture on the left Ash is for the VIC boyz , they all fancy the Gay-yard-oh

 

We might if there was some competition. There isn't.

 

You're right - "If you're lucky, there won't be any Vics there....."

 

If all goes to plan on exam results day soon then I will be out studying in Sydney from July to December/January this year.
I am of course an utter petrolhead and love to see great cars. How many of you folks are in Sydney and do you have any getogethers out in NSW?

Thanks
Ben Hobson

If you are going to Sydney, make sure you bring your wife - you'll need something to swap
