Default Congratulations to the other half!!

She did a year of motorsport engineering and passed the first year with flying colours as 1 of the top in her class, well shes just started her second year and was ringing around for jobs as were struggling for money at the mo and on the off chance phone a place called Sussex Performance Centre in Horsham, they build engines, tune cars, mapping etc etc and have a rolling road!! and they specialise in jap and cossies amongst other cars.

Well despite them not currently looking for staff they were so impressed with her and her attitude that they have offered her a part time job around her college days!!!

So congrats to her, and a big thank you very much to the guy in charge down there for giving her a chance in something shes wanted to do for a long time

Hopefully means ive got somewhere to send the cossie now to be mapped later on, and when it needs fixing to save me doing it

Wish that was the case, i spend more time fixing her escort than anything else

Althou thats cos i always have done things myself, so time i start letting her do bits herself, says the man who earlier tonite fitted the handbrake cable to her other mk4 cab thats had a rear disc conversion
