I'm a self-confessed geek, but I've been banned from filling the house with pointless old computers so i have just two, plus a couple of 'barn find' ones (no really - i found them in a barn. and they work, and have interesting stuff on the hard drives. pair of matched HP Pavilions, with all the accessories) so all my old Amiga stuff is secreted around my mum's house, and the rest of it is in cupboards here but under the guise of "oh it's so-and-so's, i'm fixing it when i get a chance"

Never trust a man Who names himself Trevor. Or one day you might find He's not a real drug dealer.

Mechanic / MOT tester at a little village garage. It doesn't pay like a main dealer but has a lot more variety. Basically we mend anything the locals will bring in, new cars, old cars caravans, mowers, welding up the church bell... The garage has been around long enough to have a good collection of old stock that I've been using up ( when I did the brakes on Jonnysierras Escort I had everything bar 1 wheel cylinder in stock!), but the apprentice has been clearing it, with a shovel and a wheelie bin. Not happy!

Mechanic's rule #1... If the car works, anything left on the floor after you finished wasn't needed in the first place

Not happy! Sounds like the place I ran In New Zealand in the late70's...it had stuff in the spares department for Jowett Jupiters! and Bristol Crawler tractors...i even pulled a Studebaker Automatic trans out once,it was buried under 2 feet of loose gaskets.Tourists would pop in for a look in the "quaint' workshop, but I had to work in the dark old hole .

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.
