They spotted my car from carsales
And the vehicle coordinator ask if I'm interested in putting my car inside new Qantas commercial, they needed a car that suit the scene with the teenagers,
At first I thought it was a spam or something, but I checked out their company and stuff, seems legit,
So I got there the first day, they paid me $400 upfront, after one hour ish, is started raining non stop and didn't get any filming done, after a free buffet lunch, they asked me to come back next Monday,
On that Monday morning $400 upfront again ^.^
Buffet breakfast and buffet lunch
Around 5pm the filming was complete.
Was a good experience overall
Sad face :( .... I killed my bumper on the way down that driveway after filming

CBR125R - personally I wouldn't bother, it's pushbike with a (small) motor... NSR150 - cool bike, goes like stink for a 150, but the 2-smoker smell gets old quickly other bikes to consider: CBR250R - good learner bike, its a Honda, can get it with ABS Yamaha R15 - bit more poke than the 125, looks good. My first bike was the CBR250RR (MC22), they're getting on now, but it was bloody brilliant. :) Here's a pic:

CBR250RR was my dream bike for a long time, because of the 4 cylinder 4 stroke is like the most powerful learner's bike. But considering is getting a bit old, is also a bit pricy, ill take the advice not getting the cbr125r or NSR150 since I drive it once a week, might save up for a older model CBR250R thanks MRTuorbo

No probs.
PS: yes they're pricey but I sold mine for MORE than I paid for it, over 2 years later. ;)
