A Merry Christmas to you as well Geoff :biggrin:

doona Dec 17th, 2005, 12:30 AM Geoff... you should go in and ask a bit a bout it....
So what sorta turbs has it got?
They may has well have just put a sticker saying 'economical' on it... about as true as 'turbo'.

Not necessarily, could be bought from the trade only auctions for a song..

Maybe "TURBO" looks better on a windscreen sign than:
"SUPERO"
?

well lots of mechatronics students end up working there. I know of a girl who was just an Electrical engineer, and was working for ford, then they sent her over to Mazda in Japan when she was 28, and she's now 30, earning 200 grand+ a year.
zakdoggi Dec 24th, 2005, 05:24 AM OK, here's an update.
They've even advertised it in the local paper :eek:
Next week, Carolyn and I will head down there and have some fun with the salesman!! :D
"Turbo, is it?" "Hmmm, funniest looking turbo I've ever seen!"
Only ONE more sleep.......:biggrin:
play fife Dec 24th, 2005, 05:30 AM They are 17" alloys not 16", you sure are going to have a good laugh at this salesman.
