Hello All Aussi Newbie Here

IBSC · 11-11-2008, 04:45 AM

Just a quick introduction.
I am the (I think) newest ex-Auto Classic technician.
We had a difference of opinion about a few things and they value staff about as much as navel lint so we have parted ways 2 weeks ago.

Anyways, on to better things.
Have my own place now doing BMW only in Bibra lake so if anyone has
a question or needs any help send it along and I will do my best to help.

I am losing my forum virginity as I type this so if I am a bit slow to reply its because I am a bit slow to reply!!:smile:

You can also email me at bmw@gmx.sg if you like.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to being a part of this.

TimMc · 11-11-2008, 05:21 AM

Welcome IBSC. What sort of E30 do you have?

SimonB · 11-11-2008, 08:58 AM

Hi IBSC, what on earth is going on at AC, they appear to be turning over staff quicker than I change ... ummm.. shirts. Surely it takes a bit of effort to train you guys and therefore they'd rather not lose you? Hmmmm...

WAY · 11-11-2008, 05:39 PM

IBSC, welcome! Show us your E30!

professor · 11-11-2008, 06:14 PM

there is something about the front of an e30 that makes me want to weep in appreciation, eat a bratwurst and pray to God.

professor · 11-11-2008, 06:15 PM

and welcome by the way. ;-)

Zuzu · 11-11-2008, 06:25 PM

Welcome aboard mate..

smarm · 11-11-2008, 07:17 PM

Welcome!

And bring on the E30 pics!

Jaymz · 11-11-2008, 10:19 PM

Hell yes, welcome. There should be more on here like yourself.

Yep 135 · 11-12-2008, 12:52 AM

Hi mate
Welcome along. Great team here.
Yep.

BBK · 11-12-2008, 01:07 AM

Welcome indeed!

Breville · 11-12-2008, 02:34 AM

Welcome aboard. Watch out there are loads of Aussie's here. You have been warned!

Yep 135 · 11-12-2008, 05:11 AM

!!

DTNJNQ · 11-12-2008, 05:14 AM

welcome

IBSC · 11-12-2008, 05:35 AM

Thanks everyone for the nice welcome.

My E30 is just a 318i M40 coupe.
Bought it for its almost perfect rust free body.
Overall a good car.
Hoping to one day drop a S62B50 and 6 speed in for a laugh.
Dont have any pictures but will take some and put them up.

Dont think its appropriate to speak here about the whole Auto Classic thing.
I never make a habit of bad mouthing anyone and would have expected they would be the same but apparently not.
Suffice to say my principles and theirs differ greatly.
Thankfully that chapter is now closed.

No doubt there will be questions that I can answer but please bear with me as I am still setting up the workshop.
Spare time is difficult to find.

If anyone ever needs service or repairs I would be more than happy to help.
And contrary to what many Perth BMW technicians do, if you prefer to do your work yourself please feel free to ask for help or instruction if required.
Drop in to the workshop and I will do my best to help.

Best regards to all and thanks again for the welcome.

Yep, that's me. You're officially the first person on these forums to have spotted me

Next time your stuck trying to break in, just let me know and i'll walk over and open the car,....take out my baseball bat, and smash your kneecaps. I'm not overprotective...honest :wink:

Good luck with the business, I'm friends with the president of the BMW Car Club of WA so I'll pass your card on to him so he can get the word out.

Wouldn't consider a 1UZ-FE in it? :eyebulge::thumbup:

IBSC · 11-15-2008, 05:40 AM

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the warning :-)

Pwomise I wont touch again ......

Thanks for the good wishes and passing my details on.
If he wants to give me a call or drop in I would like to talk to him about
doing some advertising in their magazine.

Thanks again and talk soon.
Drop in sometime. If you are at Zest my place is about 3 minutes away.

And smarm, what the hell is a 1UZ-FE ?
I assume it is some kind of rice burning jap engine ? :-)
