How much fun can you have for <$10'000? Aside from price, reliability and RWD are the major criteria, but I'm willing to concede that some FWD hot hatches could be a laugh. Doesn't have to be P's legal. The only things I can think of are the mx5 or mr2. I don't know anything about what old hot...

What makes you cringe? You'd have to be epically stupid to buy one of these. You spent $30'000 on an unreliable, gutless small car, with the worst handling in it's class. A mazda 2 or a Yaris pisses all over these cars in everything but the badge.

"You go on about how Aborigines were so primitive and the English were so advanced. The ‘sophisticated’ Europeans came to Australia and walked around in their funny suits, sweating their arses off while Aborigines knew how to take care of the land, the sophisticated Europeans were hopeless...

Hey fellas and em, I'm looking to secure off campus accomodation for the first time since I started uni. Some sort of budget share house arrangement with strangers. With all the kiddies wanting to move to the city early next year, I'm worried about when the best time is to balance free...

Despite many years of tertiary level education, I am still dreadfully disorganised and struggle to manage my subjects, what I should be doing when, and getting everything prioritised and written on time. I am very motivated, and want to learn how to succeed at tertiary education. I was talking...

Anyone used one? Easy, fast, efficient? Worth the money? What are the best brands, models? Is it possible to get a decent unit for under $200?

Exciting championship this year with Stoner trying to back up the 2007 win. Rossi has moved from the underperforming michelins to bridgestone to be on an equal footing with Stoner, and the new yamaha has a bit more power. Pedrosa is on an all new honda and is a real contender. New entries to...

How can it possibly take so long? I did one of the many specials. I assumed I'd failed, because it took so long. I emailed my lecturer 3 times and the slack bastard never got back to me. I got a C! woo! Not repeating subjects with mandatory 3 day excursions yay!
