my first career choice was as an apprentice mechanic in a busy inner city workshop. stayed there for ten years gaining lots of good experience. worked here n there in dealerships as a battery mechanic(like a battery chook) and in a brain dead tyres and rego servo as well . after 23 years, and sort of over it with service managers, I hung up the tools and the wife and I tried our hand with a leading edge CD&DVD shop in the town we live in. then along came BIGW(evil empire) and that was the end of it. Now I help the missus with her photography (www.pixelphotography.com.au) and the latest venture has been an online magazine (www.thehighlandsway.com) to see where that takes us. otherwise, I like to fiddle with old cars n bikes in my spare time, if I'm not driving or riding them.
