Hi all currently I am working at an opencut mine out near Leinster. My job is to manufacture explosives. Great job and one of the few on a mine site that you don't have to work night shift (yet). Damien you are not alone, I am only 26 and have had my 120 series for a year.

Coolers

Sorry, I should have been a bit more informative. These are the wet suit (Neoprene) Stubby Coolers and they do have a bottom in (if you wish). All you have to do is 1. Order 10 or more, 2. Send me a photo (jpeg file) and any wording and 3. what colour cooler you want it on and I will do the job and contact you when ready. Pretty simple really, Nobby

OK then, here a reaction from one of the newbies.
I am working as project manager global IT infrastructure at Rabobank International (www.rabobank.com). This is a dutch bank focussing on the agri culture and food business.
Most of my time I spend in Utrecht and London but we also have offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Wellington so when one of my next projects will take place here I will let you know. :wink:

Fair bump Matt - PLAY ON !

Here, here Matt there are some noticable people missing from this thread so why don't they fez up :wink:

Jacto ... if they are missing from this thread doesn't it mean they are un-noticeable ?? Or are they more noticeable because they haven't been noticed ??? :? :?: :? :?: :? :?:

... but you're dead right. There seems to be quite a few frequent visitors who either work for ASIO ... and if they tell us anything about their job they'll have to kill us ... or they've given up work so they can spend more time on Pradopoint and driving the Prado Half your luck.

Cheers
Chippy

I am a Vehicle Graphics Designer for Toyota Australia. I work from home and have 3 very large computers that I design and setup moulds for concept and dream models now and futuristic. I spend 2 years approx in each city so as I can keep my occupation under wraps. However, I have now come to the end of this tenure and will be moving from Prado design to a new venture of which I can not speak of, simply because I do not know where what and when. I have 2 weeks left, then set off on holidays then take up my new post in Canberra. I may have once been considered a Toyota Spy on this forum but you can all relax now, as I now move away from Prado and onto new horizons. two weeks left woohoo.!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please disreguard what I wrote here. I was pulling the leg so to speak.
I have posted my real job next page....
Cant understand why anyone didnt bite :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :wink:

Newbie report

I am a director for a Big 4 accounting firm based in Brisbane specialising in Mergers & Acquisitions - hoping to get partnership next year (said the same thing for the last three years)

Travelled a fair bit with work - I think I have counted 20 countries all up (including Pakistan, Kazakstan, Oman, Qatar, most of Asia and oh yeah NZ) - with stints living in China for 3 years and the United Arab Emirates for 3 years before it became popular.

The UAE is where I learned serious sand driving - in a 4.2 litre short wheel base patrol - oops sorry giuys but that fourby went anywhere and did everything.

Looking forward to practicing these skills on the Simpson one of these days in the Prado when I get some Coopers and a lift job.


Cheers

Hi guys,
somehow missed this tread till now.

I am currently working for Qlds regional power company as a Sparky, speacialising in metering on larger customer premises. We keep thier electricity bill honest. We cover 200Kms north, 300kms south and about 1000kms west. So we see lots of country.

Previously worked as a signal electrician for the Qld Rail for 17 odd years, and drove around similar country. Out west they drove about a 100 to 120 thou Km in 12 months mainly on dirt, and all hours of the day and night, and in all of the worst conditions. So 4WDing has been normal way of life for me for a long time.

Went back to the elevator industry, working as a supervisor, manager and now Local Representative located in Batemans Bay, NSW, covering a large area, averaging 5000km a month - driving my Prado of course!

Hi all

I would be one of the newbies. Operations Manager for Fruit and Veg company. Basically grow it, pack it, juice it, sell it and sometimes dabble in imports. It has its days like most things but is a change from being on the tools.
