    Absolutely love the trade and look forward to going to work every day, have always had a passion for cars and think I always will!

    Have been trying to splash a bit of help through here since I joined a few weeks ago, this forum is great and if I can be of help to anyone then please don't hesitate to ask!

    Can't wait to meet a few of u in the future!

    Take my hat off to you mate. I would have been 13 years this year too, many workshops and very different roles, sorta similar to yourself. I lost a lot of interest in cars in 3rd year and it kept going downhill until I finally left the industry and went to trucks and high pressure water pumps, eventually ending up in mining as mechanical fitter. A bit brain deadening.

    I did enjoy the challenge of motor mechanics, but bills have to be paid. Do miss it sometimes.

    Good to hear some mechanics still have the passion, few and far between.
