Nerds and Truckers

[suzota]

[Range Rover Blues]

Driving instructor, completely the other end of the scale.

[chuggaman]

i am a landscape gardener

although i am preparing a business plan for my new business.

i will sell my body to extremely rich and beautiful ladies between the age of 18 and 36.

as the turnover will be so high,i will of course have to be vat registered straight away.

as a contingency plan,if the takings are not as forecast then i will diversify and accomodate an age group of up to 45.

the various tools and extensions that i will possibly need to aquire will of course be offset against my tax.

a great amount of funds will be paid into my personal pension and i shall retire after my third year in business.

a happy man :D

Wasn't that the building which recently burnt to the ground after the electric system shorted out?  :?  Only joking...

My claim to fame is that my best man Greg designed the mud guards on the current Defender (yes, the ones which rub on the exhaust - it was the exhaust people's fault of course) and the bonnet release catch.

[dave_2A_2.25Turbo]

spent 4 years training to be an engineer, then promptly went into retail for the best  end of a decade. been on the tills, manager and auditor (copper with a calculator).  Spent time in car sales, as a mechanic doing servicing and repairs and currently spend my time working in my mates bodyshop stripping & fitting.  Still do a bit of retail - another mate owns a petrol station & I run that when his manager is on holiday.

Time for a change again soon - moving up to Lincs/Leics in the next 6 months which means finding a job up there.Anyone need a dogsbody?? :D

[thermidorthelobster]

Currently it's 20 to the nerds & truckers, 19 to the rest.  So potentially over half the members here drive trucks or mess around with computers!  There's a message in there somewhere, but I'm not sure what it is.

[V8MoneyPit]

I am a director in my own business selling parts for classic Minis. Much of my time is spent packing parcels and pallets for shipping to Japan or the US. That's not when I'm on the phone answering the same old questions about fitting 1275cc Metro engines into 1000 cc Minis..... must be at least 3 times a week!

[V8MoneyPit]

 :lol:

Does that help for Friday nights down the pub too??  :lol:

[Frankie-Boy]

I've been driving trucks in various guises for the last 15 years and spent 15 years before that driving buses and coaches, have been pretty much all over this country and lots of bits in europe, I'd love to get off the road but at the moment it isn't possible to earn a decent living anywhere else with my qualifications, (none apart from vocational licences).
I'm expecting to be forced into other employment eventually because I'm diabetic and as soon as the DVLA hear the word "insulin", they snatch your vocational licences and your livelihood away from you, nice eh?

[littlepow]
