Learnt to drive when I was 5 - taught by my 4 year old cousin...but since then have got stuck in and taught myself, guitar and piano. Bought my first house at 21, (my ex has it now - but my kids live there so its all good) and did all the landscaping inluding decking, patios, bricklaying, railway sleeper gardenbeds and walls and paving myself - during the process also managed to get to 2 Jehovas Witnesses to spend 6 hrs one sturday afternoon wheel-barrowing 12 cubic metres of dirt to back fill my yard. Built my own 6x9m garage - including hand digging the foundations (rear footings were 1400x1400x1800).

Will give anything a try and dont like to give up.

Oh... and went back to uni at 33 to study nursing - about to start my final year.

Cars include:
TX Gemini Coupe - spent $9000 on it over 10 years
TG Gemini Auto Sedan - only any good in the wet
JD Camira - It was actually a good one believe it or not!
Hydundai Sonata - Not so good
Kia Rio - Auto - blah
Datsun 1500 flat tray - Running 30" tyres - Struggled to do 100 km/h
HJ Ute - completely rebuilt when bought
TJ 3.5 Magna - surprisingly grunty
MJ TD 4X4 Dual Cab Triton - it died with a cracked piston
Kia Rio - manual - quite a good car (this was my new girlfriends)
88 Mazda 626 - "Zoom Zoom"
09 CJ Lancer VR - "Love that Car"

Thats the main stuff.... cant give everything away!

I helped make an Animated 3D 'Short' that was a finalist in Tropfest 2008.

Did you see Great White Hunters? I'm sure yours was good, but wow, this movie was pretty scary. It was filmed about 1.5hrs from where I live.

I:
- Sold the first Mitsubishi 380 at the dealership I worked at (a storm GT)
- Sold the most 380's (not including rental - there were like 40 of those suckers)
- Snapped second in a 1986 Ford GC Meteor GL, 1.6L carby, 3spd auto

Family went to Hong Kong when I was 3, and we came back for my senior level schooling around the hand over time in 1997.

Stacked my brothers Kawasaki Ninja when I was 22 and smashed my elbow into 3 pieces... Lots of hardware in there now and can't straighten my arm or touch my shoulder.
*This happened all while finishing a BA in Town Planning and an Audio Engineering Diploma.... The injury and rehab stuffed up a lot of the next few years trying to get a job in councils and planning firms, and radio stations and sound engineering gigs... Roadie work etc...

Ended up in corporate audio visual and event management for many years, and am now based at a large private hospital doing Telemedicine videoconferencing and audio visual work within their IT department.

Envious of all you youngsters owning your own homes (or two) and paying for new cars with cash....! Pushing my late 30's now and currently stuck in the rent trap with a home loan a distance away.... and now with 2x kids as well !!

Speaking of family - Married now for 6 years to the girl I've been dating for nearly 18 - lol.
I was not sure how I was going to go with having kids, but kids are the best !! My 3.5yr old Sam (who many of you have met) and 'lil 6 month old Abigail are the 2 of the best things in the world atm.

Taught to drive by my brother when I was 11 - on a dirt football field, on one of the Greek islands - In a rented Susuki Alto mum and dad didn't know we had borrowed....

Cars -
- Mazda 121 - Festiva shape. Awesome little car. Did 120 odd thousand k's on the thing and it was so much fun on the dirt
- Holden Barina
- Hyundai Excel (g/f's at the time)
- Commodore VX
- Lancer VR

I am a mad keen online racing driver using games like rFactor, GTR2 and iRacing.... My racing number is #118
Usually do all my own car liveries, and for many others as well, for championships raced in. Livery Slideshow
Some Racing videos for the interested
Porsche Championship
Formula 3 Championship

**I've just got hold of a Lancer RA Mod, so I will be able to do up custom liveries for people, if they like - or show what suggested graphics might look like down their CJ Lancers... :)

Geez Pete, you're letting down the old men with your game playing... we are meant to go boozy fishing and watch cricket all day... !!!

Don't be envious of twin mortgages mate... If I didn't have them I would definitely be in a 'closer-to-owning-an-EVO position' !!

I reckon a son and daughter is a crowning achievement... I have yet to father a boy.. just one girl, would like another child.

I didn't think I was older than you.... crikey!

[Tarquin]

Geez Pete, you're letting down the old men with your game playing...

That's why I race with The Older Gamers All over 25's

I didn't think I was older than you.... crikey!

Now I am feeling old... lol

Come on, I thought I was a prime specimen of the 'a year to 40' club!

I'll go to your 40th if you come to mine!
