Then i brought a nissan s14 200sx, ive tuned it to about 300bhp, all parts are paid for by my wage but i get trade price on all jap parts like hks nd blitz and rims like rota nd speedline etc! ive still got that as my track/drifting toy... and now about 4 days ago i brought a sportif.. mint nick, brilliant white, low milage full service history and 2 sensible owners.

I'm the IT helpdesk (posh title - Desktop Support Analyst) for a pharmaceutical company with about 300 staff. Only on secondment in the job at the mo but should be made permanent before Christmas (been with the company 7 years). They are looking at pushing me into loads of training almost straight away to become the site Applications Management Analyst looking after all the Oracle databases and stuff. If all goes well should be earning just short of £30k this time next year :o

Shizzle my nizzle! (what does that actually mean? :lol: )

Would be great pay up country but living down here in devon, its pritty poor, 10pound an hour.not all that special.

quite enjoy the work but most of the time wish id become a mechanic or somthing more intresting, i enjoy working on my car and friends way more than wiring peoples houses etc.

The car only cost £400 and I got £200 back from selling the rims that came with it!

I got all the paint on tick, still owe him £70.

And borrowed money here and there, all paid off now apart from the paint guy ;)

My dad did pay for a few bits and bobs, like £35 for the rear Glanza bumper and £40 towards the new headlights :p

But remember, the cars always parked doing nothing so no running costs for me.... yet!
