#1 Cheers for advice all
So my learned chums , a couple of weeks back I asked opinions on a change in career, so with a leap of faith I jumped ship and left a company I worked for / with for 23 years , initially I touted my fabrication skills on Face Book , and I have got a guy that wants me to fabricate some metal and set up the initial start up of car in the next coming months , ( a zetec in a sprite ) but in the mean time I applied for a job advertised at a classic car restoration company , been there a few days now and wow does it feel good to work for a company where ALL the guys that work there (rather than about a 3rd of the workforce) have a passion for the work and put all their time into effort into getting it right !! yep I'm a bit ( read a lot!!) Chuffed to be working at E Type UK.
Once again cheers for all the advice you guys gave me

I ‘spose being able to drive your own CV to the interview might have been a help! Kudos!
I know my skills lie elsewhere, I’d love to be able to fabricate stuff, just like my Dad used to. I have two left hands, both full of thumbs. Dad recently told me it took him a whole weekend and after work on Monday to cut threads for a camera lens adaptor. The thread had multiple starts, each one indexed and cut individually on a lathe.
(I think I know what that means!)

Congratulations on getting a job that you obviously love doing. Bit like a sportsperson getting paid for playing his/her sport.
Now, is there anybody at your company that really really knows, and i mean really knows how to tune and set up a V12 PROPERLY.

You need to talk to MarekH (on the forum), I'm sure he will be along to advise shortly as his own improved V12 is "sweet", if not PM himbobsnicholson wrote: ↑Sun Dec 15, 2019 5:01 pmNow, is there anybody at your company that really really knows, and i mean really knows how to tune and set up a V12 PROPERLY.
