    is 6sp manual allowed on red p's?

    Yeah, no limit on the amount of forward gears. Most new-ish small cars come with six-speeds in the MT even in the base model, like the BL and BM Mazda3.

    What car do you drive? (the new one)

    Yeah, admittedly, I am a little apprehensive. But my dad had one installed in his Ford Territory - Hollandia (?), they do a lot of OEM sunroof installations. Its really high quality, and I've been spoiled by the fact that my first car had one (and I literally used it rain and shine).

    What car do you drive? (the new one)

    Ooh, I'll contribute; because its a better use of my time than further procrastinating over this IBUS assignment! MAKE:Mazda MODEL:3 MPS YEAR: 2009 LIKES: Everything. Especially the boost when the turbo kicks in. And the look. And the colour. DISLIKES: Mazda servicing costs. And I loathe...

    Procrastination

    I'm a first year uni student... as I type this, I'm playing music, eating corn chips, talking with my siblings - all the while, my stats notes lay undisturbed - my exams are in just over a week. Procrastination is normal, you can't study constantly. I'll tell you what I told the Year 12's of...

    Apple Case Study

    Re: Will I get marked down? Essay Case Study Hi Demise, Try and keep the technical vocab to a miniumum. Remember, the subject is Business Studies - link the business to the theory, not the theory to the business. If you can avoid the technical vocab, do where possible. Good luck for English...

    Re: Unit of Study Results They allowed me, and a dozen others, to resit the Accounting exam this morning. I don't want to jinx it....but I did fix a few mistakes I made originally! :-)

    Best way to organise case study info?

    Hiya s8891, I hope the final year has gone well for you thus far. All I can recommend is ignoring textbook case studies - imagine your marker, sitting in a pig pen, reading over the thousandth QANTAS case study; something different will be a welcome smack in the face. For every dot point, you...

    Which one is best to you?

    I love the familiarity of Windows 7. I will keep an open mind as to Windows 8. I love Windows Phone, (in fact I am purchasing a Nokia Lumia 800 this week), but I don't think that 'Metro' looks as good on bigger screens. But I am thankful that Windows 8 is as fluent with touch as it is with...

    How do we rate Optus?

    I'll add that, although I'm with Telstra, I don't think I can continue with them regardless of whether I get this phone. I'm on a $30 Member plan, and it has been averaging $50-$70/month for the past ~1.5 years. I just don't think the coverage is worth the extra cost - and this is just 2.5G...

    How do we rate Optus?

    Hey BoSers, I'm looking to purchase a mobile phone, and unfortunately it isn't compatible with 850MHz networks, so I won't be able to use 3G on Telstra Next G or Vodafone's new network; it only operates on the 900MHz Optus 3G frequency. I am currently using a Dual Sim phone - one sim for...

    New Honda Civic (9th gen / MY2012)

    IMHO: That may be the single busiest dashboard I have ever seen. In comparison, the wrap-around interior of the Mazda3 looks and feels premium, and is well-designed. The Civic just has too much going on. The softer grays of the plastics in the Civic make it look a lot more warmer and inviting...

    Mobile World Congress '12

    How Do I Study Well?

    There are no subjects wherein past papers are more important than in Maths and English. Maths: Familiarise yourself with the relative difficulties of each question; if its not completely obvious by now, you should not spend equal amounts of time per question. Save the actual HSC papers for the...

    Deactivating Facebook?

    I deactivated my Facebook in June of my HSC year. I was amazed at how much more productive my nights were - and how little you actually do on the site when you are using it. Trust me, YOU DO HAVE THE WILLPOWER TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION, if the HSC means anything to you. I kept until November...

    How much Study did you do in Prelim?

    In hindsight, I studied way too much for Year 11 and not enough for Year 12 - even though I still got a good result. The key is balance - don't burn out, don't get lazy. You would be surprised how much content actually makes it way from Prelim to Year 12 - for example, you could do terribly in...
