pegibson Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi all.. We landed in Adelaide last Saturday, finally after 2 and half years of visa applications, and trying to sell the house.. All done and we made it.. Landed Saturday morning at 6am, friend picked us up at the airport then took us back into his house where we are staying temp, showered had a cup of tea, as you do.. No time to waste, so went out to look at a car I had my eye on from the UK. By early afternoon I had bought it, 2004 Renault Clio 1.4, 155k kms on the clock, full Renault dealer service history up to date.. All this for $3999.. Bargain. Monday came so thought now I need to job hunt, so went out early cold calling to hand out my résumé. Tuesday started the same, but must have impressed someone because they wanted me back the next day for interview... By Thursday I had a job offer in place, so promptly accepted it.... Start next Tuesday after the bank holiday Monday.. :biggrin: Now just need to find a rental.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
