What do ya do for a living?
 
Was just wondering what sort of people drive S12's these days... Not that I drive one anymore.

Anyway, throughout my S12 life I've been doing accountancy.

My mate Ian who aint on the board, has an 84 S12 was employed by the council to do office work, but is looking to change.

My other mate Dan with an 85 S12 is a car valeter.

So what ya do peeps?

Now you can buy a beard trimmer:D ;)

30psi 10-12-2006 13:06

I could have moved out ages ago, but I dont want to rent. Id rather mortgage. Prices are very expensive where I live now, so its not been possible to buy without moving even further away from london, but should be able to find something decent enough. Got a few other expensive hobbies at the moment so not thinking about doing for about a year anyway.

I thought you only needed Smarties and other assorted sweeties to attract little kiddies:confused:

You should see a psychologist.

There is great evidence and knowledge of what is known as 'joking in jest', where by the studies have shown that the sub conscious mind will try to make a reverse reference to something which is known not to be acceptable within either the general society or their local society. The reason for this is where the self conscious mind will try to show negative nature towards these 'secrets'. It is known as a form of mental self defence. A normal example of this would be the situation of a gay person (afraid of the feedback they would receive from society) will try to hide this in an over positive method, ie making homophobic comments, sometimes even completely random, where no previous such comment or opening to the subject was made.

Now this is where I get to my point.

In the example above, a psychologist would actually assume that your sub conscious mind is trying to cover up recent thoughts its had about children in an over positive self defending way. Hence the complete random comment you made about 'attracting little kiddies'.

Just food for thought....

s13eater 19-12-2006 14:43

martin your a psychologist now, i thought you where an accountant lol.we could get some expert advise from my bruv as he is one of the top psychologists at the northern general hospital at sheffield, maybe we could book nissan-turbs in for a review lol.:D

Right, so now that is said and done.....

I did college as a car mechanic, worked with porting cylinder heads for 7 years (full time) and building competition engines and cars, then worked on the WRC with Ford, was chief instructor at a racing school in the USA, got sick of motorsport and studied again, spent the last 5 years working in the aerospace industry as a Jet engine designer. Still running my motorsport business as a sideline, born in the UK, living in sweden, 2 kids, 1 dog, 3 cats(not mine) and a totally hot swedish girlfriend/partner/bestfriend.

In my country we throw Jew down the well.

I'm making a career of working on my S12 as I seem to do that more than my actual job.

Whilst we're on the subject of all this, and it's the topic of the thread, my S12 pennies come from owning a computer company in Kidderminster. Have done for 10 years now.

In theory I would have lots of money. In reality, we all know that there's no such thing as a wealthy S12 driver.

Hence I'm broke. God damn it.

But hey, I live in a caravan to fund the car I've always wanted to create...

:1la
