I did 2 yr at collage doing mechanics, welding and engineering from leaving school gave that up to take a full time job at a bus garage repairing service buses where the put me through my bus driving test, stayed there 4 years, Then moved on to a car transporter who moved cars for Toyota, Aston martin, Ferrari, Bentley and many more some may remember there ship sinking and taking every thing with it 2.800 brand new cars! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-151464/Ship-carrying-thousands-cars-sinks-Channel.html I stayed there 2 years and hated it they where all miserable! Then moved onto Volvo truck and bus doing any thing from full engine rebuilds to servicing the job I hate most! I also service and repair the Hybrid buses that run in Leeds most of my work is buses because I worked at a bus garage I am a bus man they think I dont mined I get to hammer em round all the time lol drifting buses is a lot of fun! been at Volvo about 8 years now and still enjoy it most days well nights I work 4 on 4 off on nights.

daniel_g Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Aye man, all my college work and tests etc will be done within 3 years, then in work all my job cards will be done soon as possible, so then i will be qualified and then i just need to wait to be time served. Its also quite good how they do week blocks every 4-6 weeks. Also i dont know if the big man himself comes in anymore lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Same way i learned my trade russel lol workin for your dad is not easy! We used to have some mad arguments. Mainly because its too easy to back chat to your dad than any other boss, if any of the other guys acted like i did toward him they would have been out the door. I was sent home with no bus fare, hours from home a few times rite enough Respect my dad for how he did things back then tho if i could change it i wouldnt have been so hard on him, i must have been a little shit at times. after all he put me where i am today Edited July 27, 2012 by bucketep91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
