I work for Coles supermarkets as a department manager. I have been with them for 27 years next week. Not much of a job, but I like it and its paid the bills all this time, and kept me off the dole que. :wink:

I look after the whole of government mainframe in the NT, keeps me occupied when I am on-call. When not at work I am off camping, just about to start a five week trip in the Kimberley

Cool bananas Llamaboy - enjoy your trip.

We'll wave on the way past. We bugger off in 2 weeks - for a 3 month punt up through WA's north, across the top, down the Qld coast into NSW - then we'll figure out whether we want to head home - or not :twisted:

Cheers

Operations Manager for one of the 'big 4' banks financial planning arm. And before anyone decides to complain about bankers, I also drive a 4 wheel drive, ride a motorbike and do some umpiring for kids sport so give it your best shot. I'm impervious to insults. Thats my paid job. State Insurance Officer for WA 4WD Assn is my unpaid job for a little longer.

And for any of the observant, no this isn't a Prado, its the old Challenger. I haven't had a chance to take any pics of the Playdo yet.
... and for the super observant, no you are not allowed in there anymore, the pic was taken before Mundaring was closed down.

Hey Mike

You're a Pradopointer now - so you are officially excluded from all insults directed towards bankers, 4WDrivers, motorcyclists, umpires and insurers. Now you only need to be a Toyota Service Technician, a Mumbai telecall centre operator and a Politician - and you've got the lot. :lol:

Cheers
Chippy

Welcome MikeA, that's fantastic at least I'm not the only 4wd'er and motorcyclist here.! Have to say the Prado is much more appealing on days like this though..!! :roll:

Well what an interesting read, there is no lawyers or accountants driving Prados?
I’m a Sparky working for a company that does commercial electronic systems. . http://tecsoundqld.com///default.html It’s quite a diverse job , I’ve worked just about everywhere in Perth and a stints in the country.My work takes me from offices to building sites, mine sites, shopping centers, mausoleums, fast food outlets, nursing homes, boats, and schools.
I normally move around a fair bit and like the variety .This is my 3rd 4x4 others being a Subaru and a Nissan 720 Ute. I used to have a couple of road bikes but my wife won’t let me own one now so I bought my son a quad bike when he turned 5.He is now 8 so I think its time for a Yamaha banshee.mmmmmm
