Default My New Job

That’s right ladies and gents, I left inbound sales for Austar and am now selling new Mitsubishi at Zupps Southport.

So my first day consisted of "product research" yes I couldn’t believe I was being paid to drive around the gold coast in every model Mitsubishi they had on the lot!


And yes, the 380 was surprising good!

I ended up at the spit at one stage... oh well

I can’t wait to get behind the EVO 9!!!

G'day Drew,

Good on ya, I am sure you will do well as you have bag loads of enthusiasm and who hasn't met a car salesman that isn't keen.

Cheers,

Ken

Thanks for the kind words guys,

Well I guess Mitsubishi don’t produce V8's because ford and Holden are doing that well by themselves and they don’t need to. I had the pleasure of the EVO 9 today and well it is AMAZING, I could go on about it but let’s just say Id hate to decide between an EVO and a F6.


And yes Lissa the factory Bluetooth kits rock!

The main thing is I have every Sunday off!! And will put in for annual leave for the important Saturdays!!!

Oh and there sending me on a drive day to Mt Cotton to "test" the new Triton!!! ahhh what a life

I like Evo's! How does it feel on the road. I have only ever been in an Evo 6.5 TME and i was just a passenger and it felt like it was on rails. Handles extremely well and it has some serious power. The suspension was rough though and I could feel every bump in the road. Especially being in the back seat. Very nice cars though. I would love to go for a cruise in an Evo 9. Not a big fan of the Evo 10 prototype looks though. Too space age.

Yeah Jabba, Zupps @ Southport.

The Suspension isnt designed for a family but is a perfect balance for street and race track use.

and another thing... I Love Brembo's. oh yeah the ABS/EBD, torque distribution work wonders when your flat out arround corners. Im
