ah man, lets not go there haha.

the swear filter will get involved when i say.

ay don't knock it I wonted to be a vet then work in the navy. but i forgot my love for cars so i worked my ass off to get my job. It paid off... As long as you've got a job you enjoy then you will be right.

used to be manager of a landfill...

playing with these

and these 60 tonnes compactors

shouting at stupid contractors

and running 3 v20 gas engines the sizes of shipping crates to generate over 4.5M watts for the nationwal grid from the methane produced. and bombing round in a land rover defender 90 T5.

Now I'm back in the oil industry, worked in Sudan for a while, dodging bullets.

Settled working analysing oil/gas samples from around the world, can't take photos due to use of mercury and other chemicals

Jose - like freehand with a roller? You got skills!

so jelous of everyone who works with cars lol...i run my own mobility and disability product store and also the engineer of them lol. so i get to work with these bad boys everyday lol

it's weird, I work with cars, and have enthusiasm for working on them, or helping friends out, but have no enthusiasm for mine haha.

Seems a bit of a split at work, everyone started out loving cars, now I'd say 70% of people arnt even interested in them, but then there's still people who can't get enough of them, this is after say 30-40 years of working with them :)

Sometimes wonder if I should have a non car related job

Cheers mate!

I do it freehand with something called a Beugler.
