I'm a C.A.D. designer for a housing company, so, as my friends keep telling me I get to draw pretty pics of houses all day and surf the net.

For those people that have no clue what this company is i'll give you a bit of a run down. The company I work for was first known as Borg-Warner. NOW if you don't know who that is then just stop reading and be happy I told you what I do for a living. (JK).

My kind of "Brother" in law so to speak is one of the head IT guys at Borg's.. My old man (step father) used to work for them a few decades ago and got him his job there many moons ago.. Brian's his name. and he rides a hoon... hon... hond... VFR i think it is..

sorry couldn't say it.

Another nerd here. By trade, a networker (CCNA, CCNP (nearly), MCSE, wireless specialisation, heading towards security).

Unfortunately, most of my work seems to be dealing with morons who have no idea, and turning power points back on is a regular occurence.

I did spend 18 months as a brickies labourer, 12 months of that was actually on the tools, as we got a fitter labourer. I am thinking of going back, but my back is telling me to think twice about it.

I was wondering what had happened to them. Once upon a time in the good old days of tariffs and locally manufactured parts-bin-engineered rear wheel drive cars, Borg Warner made the auto and manual transmissions for Ford, Nissan, Mistubishi, Chrysler, etc etc. Their first 5 speed manual was plonked in the Sigma, the 2.8 litre Commodore, the 3.3 litre Falcon, the Bluebird, etc.

Who other than Ford are they still making trannies for these days? Or have they moved into other areas again?

I'm not sure who Borg-Warner is still making gear for. The last I heard they got rid of all their overseas companies and pretty much disappeared. I think they are a british company. (I could be totally wrong on this, i'm not sure)

We only make trannies for Ford and Ssangyong, which are your Musso's and Rextons and the like.

We have been sold and are now known as Drivetrain Systems International (DSI). The sale went through at 5 this arvo.
