in that case you will getting the VZR with an "EXCUTIVE DRIVER " , thats a package

Hey Let's hope for the best bro!, you are a skilled professional, am sure even if itz not in this country, bagladesh, vietnam, china has VERY high paid jobs for textile indutry professionals ... am sure that you won't have to sell the vzr, perhaps you'd later sell it when you want to buy a 350z

@draggy: i shall also join the stall if the ERP industry goes down

@Dimantha: yeah the topic is alarming!

hey MRM ? is that your kid ? cute little one

who ? where ?

[The Don]

A lot of industries are dying out MRM, also the industry I am currently working in the data capture industry because of the progress of the internet a lot of the market analysis and data capture work is now done via the internet and does not require specialist capture companies like mine. My company has gone from employing 40 people to oursourcing nearly all our work abrode for cheap labour. Since I work for the IT R&D department I can move to another job in another industry (fingers crossed) but there are no gurrantees.

And I was in Bangladesh recently in Chittagong visiting my sister who is studying there, and there are a lot of Sri Lankans there working now, and they seem to be enjoying pretty good benifits courtesy of their companies such as Company Cars, Apartments, Servants etc. and the irony is quite a few of them came to the country as technicians and within 1-2 years have got promoted to managers.

I wouldn't say its a very nice place to live in, Dhaka is supposedly better, but Chittagong is very backward still, and you need buffer guards if you are driving arround cos you get rammed from all over, but I guess its a comfortable life and good money for the people who work in your industry there,

we are very much more comfortable with our family friends this is the reason why we still want to LIVE in this country EVEN with such difficuilties .

i think every one will agree to this

ofcourse if it comes to a stop , yes we have to look at other ioptions like going abroad ( lot of my friends have moved to bangladesh & vietnam in the garment trade )

Wasn't suggesting you go somewhere MRM, its just that I met a lot of Sri Lankans in Chittagong and they seem to be doing well,

I aggree MRM that a lot of us would rather live at homein Sri Lanka than going anywhere else, but I guess circumstances sometimes prevent that from happening, cant help but feel a bit sad about that.

I hope things go well for you,

Cheers!

i hope u r not still skeptic, i dunno whether chassis no or whatever is still called fb15 in that or not, all i know is itz looks are a direct derivative of fb15(of course interior dash, skirting and all add on] ... bdw ash is that your wive's fb15, if so how good is it on fuel? (honest figure in traffic i want)

I have to believe U guys now. Never thought.... (Never mind).

Yeah it’s my wifes’ car. It does more than 10 in the city, and may be around 12 out (90 oct) Secret is...keep the car well tuned and on time services.

buddy you need to get the side skirtings in your FB 15 , then it will look more like a VZR

No machan... don't wanna do a exterior mod for that. But gonna do some foglight's, Alloys (my Lucino 1's will go in to that.... & I'm getting a new set ) and CD player (my 1 will go for that too), may be a spoiler

Have an idea of selling the FB15...

And I'm getting all new Alloys, setup....

[Hanni]

it's only IOC.. CEYPETCO stands the same price...

by the way there's this gadget available here in SL that will give you more fuel economy... but I cant tell you the place to get it as it's against forum rules...

hey man can you pm me more info on this gadget/where to get it Unless thats against forum rules..

[The Don]

hi, i think one of the moderators should clarify the forum rules with regards to sharing information of stuff you yourself use.

Because draggy doesnt sell this device, he stands not to make any personal or comercial gain (apart from the satisfaction of helping some people out) about sharing info about this device which he has tried out and is apparently saving him fuel.

so I am not sure how sharing that info will be against forum rules because it cannot possibly be considered advertising (unless there is something here i dont know)

With the world oil prices going haywire i think everybody would appriciate info on any device which saves fuel.

Regards,

The Don

[neXGen]

Agree with you Don.. how bout that moderators? it's like a dream come true in a way to know about such a device especially with the escalating fuel prices..

Zz

[sharkster]

i'm going to have to discuss this with the boss when he returns from the south...till then abuse your email! jk

Thanks for the pics machan... Isn't that a Infinity Badge on the boot?

I don't really floor the pedal of the FB15 when driving, unless some1 P**me.

[ash]

I heard that they’re planning a fresh strike again.

WC Sir!

Have you tried a drag between your Lucino and the FB15 ... I guess the FB15 will win! BDW I have seen an article which mentioned that the FB15's engine is restricted to meet emission standards, the engine in itz normal form is suppose to be able to deliver more than what it delivers now(105hp)! (I used to hate the FB15, but more I read about it... more I started to feel good about it... but I have heard that FB15 and N16 both has some issues with the Rack making some noice/vibration(even in good shape) is it true?

Yes itz an Infinity badge... nowdays people don't descriminate among Infinities/Nissans/GTR

well I was thinking of the same thing some time back.. and the main point of having a forum is to share information and discuss stuff but madz gave me some reason that I dont remember now.. so I'm just playing along with the rules...
