Wish I had a job to work my nuts off, can't get a job for love nor money, can't get my golf on the road as I've got no money for the parts.

When I do eventually get a job hopefully I'll be working 60+ hours per week, while managing to fit in fixing the golf, doing hgv 2 then 1 driver training, national and international cpc training to be a transport manager, adr training to transport hazardous materials, running my mates transport company, fixing/modifying my mates lorries, and most importantly trying to do the impossible and keep the gf happy.

All depends on me getting a job though. :cry:

Current cars 1995 Golf gti colour concept 2.0 8v 156,000 miles. bmw 316 1.9 129,000. yeah, life's good! :rolleyes:

I am on a 70 hour week at the moment... going from no job at all to 2. I am enjoying it and long may it continue  :cool:

not the greatest pay in the world, but if I keep putting the effort in I have no doubt my efforts will not go unrecognised.

I wish putting the hours in were recognised for me! Worked my bollox off for 18 months and was passed over for promotion 3 times. Gave up, left the ship and started working in the dockyard. Finishing at 10am most days as there's no work on, and even when there is, I finish at 12 anyway. Play football between 10 and 11 Tuesdays and Thursdays, still getting paid the same, and low and behold when I least expect it, I get selected! Start course on 28th May for a foundation degree in engineering, so 2 years full time studying based in Fareham.
Moral of the story, if your in the RN and your a lazy bastard, you go places!  :huh:

60+ hour weeks since xmas. FML.

 :shocked:

Damn. It sucks as it's all a gamble as well. If someone was to come along and burn out one of the cars, it would leave a very big dent in me.  :grin:
is that not what insurance is for :lipsrsealed:

Feck that.  :grin: They ain't going no where and I'm still insured to drive it.  :smug: On the private land now like.

Has nobody explained to you yet, how to make money on cars, without actually doing anything! :rolleyes:

 :lipsrsealed:

Thom

Am I complaining? Nope. Kinda paid off tonight, there an hour and I earned a nice £100.  :smiley:

And I found that secret myself when I bought the Micra for £300, thrashed it about with my mates for a couple of months then took it through a car wash and sold it for £1500.  :laugh:

Feck knows, all I know is that if traffic cars had ANPR readers on the sides, they'd have a field day.  :laugh:

Traffic cars do have anpr by the way!

Not all of them.

Mean literally on the sides, cars were at a 90 degree angle to the road.

so because your making money u dont need insurance  :huh:

Technically it should be SORN without an insurance policy but you get 21 days I've found.

just be lucky you have a job  :sad:

True although since the job pays so little, all this is my own hard labour, skill and intelligents.  :smug:

TBF, I know there isn't many jobs out there but for the car business, I borrowed £150 and then that has turned so far into about £5k if everything sells and I get it as cash.


Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

Plenty of jobs out there.  You just need to be qualified, or assed enough to find them.
