    Hyundai veloster thoughts ?

    BRZ all the way for me. ...And way to rip off the Alfa doors.

    13 Units?

    I did 13 units, got 96.80. I did cheat though - 3 units of maths completed 2010, so I had 13 units in my real prelim and only 10 for the actual HSC.

    Private vs. Public Schools!

    Just look at the HSC results. My local public school (traditional public school huge cohort): two students ATAR >90 (3rd-ranked was 83) My (non-selective) private school (cohort only 33 students): eight students ATAR >90.

    What car do you drive? (the new one)

    Yeah, I've got an FM transmitter I use with my iPhone - but the audio quality through FM vs CD is such that I burn discs of albums I listen to a lot! I'd seen those mods - but so much effort for what ends up being a kludge anyway.

    What car do you drive? (the new one)

    It's all integrated into the dash as a single unit with the climate control - no can do :( Random photo I found on Flickr - mine's similar to this design. 2006 Subaru Outback Shifter by www.Theo-Graphics.com, on Flickr

    How do you download your movies?

    Movies? I rent/buy those on iTunes. TV shows? I torrent those when they air in their home country; why should I have to wait weeks for Doctor Who or Top Gear to come to Australia, replete with ads, when there's a nice, clean HD version right there. And, worse, who even knows when Ice Pilots NWT...

    Did Chemistry screw you over as well???

    I might have liked a couple more marks - but can't say I'm disappointed with 94

    What car do you drive? (the new one)

    2005 (MY06) Subaru Outback 2.5i manual Likes: Can carry loads of stuff; handles well enough; enough power to be fun; boxer engine sounds and revs excellently; don't have to worry about trivialities such as bumps and potholes; all-wheel-drive! Dislikes: No aux- or iPod- in available, even as an...

    Good Headphone brands

    +1 for Sennheiser

    DSLR Cameras

    Love my D300 - it's a great camera to use... shame it's starting to get some weird bugs - must be time to move on. Shallower depth of field for a lower f-stop.

    For all those who got 90+ ATARS....

    Past papers, past papers, past papers. For everything except English, that's all I did: just do a past paper, make a list of things that you missed/didn't feel strong about, go practice/read up/ask your teacher about those things; repeat until the exam comes. Worked great.

    What's your dream car?

    Starting realistically, then not so much: - An Alfa Romeo (for the experience of owning one) - Subaru BRZ (or the GT86 if the BRZ doesn't come to Aus - looks like a fun car for a good price) - Original Audi Quattro (just damn cool) - Aston Martin Vantage (Who doesn't?)
