I'm in the grounds of the old VW factory in Clayton, also formally occupied by Nissan, and now operated by Linfox.

I have lunch at the Kombi Cafe and I cross Kombi St to get to it. :) The owners have two split bus models on the top of the shelves behind the coffee machines. :)

I'm Chief Technologist for a national IT security firm.

Basically, I do risk management. Although I have a serious technological bent and my propellor spins fast.

Good to see we have somthing in common Andrew.

I'm a risk manager as well. When I'm not pretending to be a teacher I'm employed to make sure people don't start throwing bullets around willy nilly.

I didn't know VW had a factory in Oz.

Heh, "williy nilly", no wonder I repeated grade 2!

Bronze,

So you do physical or personal security? Not throwing bullets around doesn't sound as much fun as the other way around! :) :) Risk management has its days, but it's a real treat doing the work I'm on at the moment! :)

Check out these pics from the State Library of Victoria image collection:

They should have some Beetles up on the shelfs as well.
