the only down side i that there are`nt many petrol heads in the police where i work.
if i can help at all give me a call (number will be PM'd) or if you are going to the totb look me up i am racing my mk1 escort.
cheers lee
Glad to hear you made the right move and thanks for the offer of advice I may need it. I am 30 years old was worried I was too old to join but obviously not. What was your salary in the first year? I dont get paid mega money but I am a production manager and wondered what kind of hit I would take

What force do you serve with?
dumfries police is 19 k for the first year mate so i assume strathy will be the same talk to me at the next meet
