Bit of an insight into some testing

That workshop's a fuckload tidier than the last time I saw it!

Lol we're doing so much overseas at the minute it's mad, pretty much at idiada all year round now

I work in a photography studio/office, photographing and editing

Images of women's clothes for an online store. Mostly the days are

All the same, it's pretty thrilling -_-

My last photography related job was in Jessops! Who says getting a

Degree in photography isn't worthwhile?!

For extra money/sanity I'm bassist and backing vocals in a

Stratford-upon-Avon/Leamington Spa based punk/post hardcore

Band called 'Drawn' ...look us up! :)

fixed the heat exchanger on the 'b' end engine in my mentors loco as the transmission oil temp was getting a bit hot and bothered. got it running and all seemed well so we started running the engine in.

64 litres of fury!

hoping that the rest of the turbo parts arrive next week so i can box that up and get the other engine back up and running too.

At my new place I'm currently making parts for a certain P1 amongst other f1 related parts, can't photograph though :(

me and the gang in our company magazine

I wish i was doing some of your jobs but i cannot complain as i actually have a job in these hard times.

I basically drive a tesco van delivering peoples shopping. I'm looking into moving onto the mainland soon so maybe a change of career maybe on the cards.

Heres a picture of my van next to an MG RV8 and of course the view isnt to bad either :-D

A noble trade, I used to do it. If I can give you one tip, its a keep your lunch and drink in the fridge!

Thanks i must admit i do as you say. It did take me a few weeks to figure out why my lunch was obliterated then i stuck it in a tray after that

Might be getting an apprenticeship with a local training firm driving rigid HGVs

Well done buddy i assume they will pay all costs for the licences?

Id love to drive a lorry i think it would be huge fun good luck and all the best :-)

Just spotted your van is the same age as my old one. Tiptronic box, LWB and a locking diff for better drifting?

Though if it is my old one, it's probably totally fucked by now, had air in it so many times, I don't think I ever delivered a full dozen eggs in the 9 months I did that job

It could well be. Over here on the isle of wight we get all the old vans. We have a couple of ivecos but they aren't suitable for the roads over here

I hope so, that shits expensive I need to call them back as I only had time to give them my basic details and not ask any questions, oh and the guy doing it all went on holiday for three weeks right after putting the ad in the paper

Why do they do that? You would think they would have the holiday then put the ad out.

If i had a driving job i'd move inland. Being on the coast, bit like driving on half a pizza instead of a whole one..

I cant really move inland as the islands only 14 miles north to South and 24 miles west to east.

i have fixed the link now

Bit of merchandising for a change, one rather fucked news stand bodged together.

When i was a backdoorman (oh yes...) We used to have to move the merchandise units around and by god were they difficult to move as they were so flimsy

That one isn't now, it's got about half a bag of pop rivets in.

Scared the shit out of some old dear when I started using the lazy tongs in the middle of a silent shop floor

Thats the way to do it haha

Isn't my fault my rivet gun sounds like a 7.62 bolt action!

And i bet you were being careful not to scare anyone... yeh right i bet you were waiting for people to come past then BANG...
