i used to be a mechanic and have worked on just about anything that moves from a golf cart to special heavy haulage trucks and variuos plant items, mainly on fleet but did work in a vauxhall dealer although i hated that. been off the tools for a few years now and lock people up at the weekend for being bad. i have been forced to give up the car as some on here know and will be building with bits i sold, but i now plan on making a miniture version of the car for my boys.

Good show Davie but what's this nonsense about "used to be a mechanic"? Once a mechanic always a mechanic! Whether or not you use those skills in your daily work you still are what you are, its more than just an occupation!
